    Removed Viking gamerpic still appears in some areas


    The gamerpic that MS removed a while ago for (presumably) copyright reasons (looks like

    this
    ) is still showing up in the scrolling friends thingy on the home screen and in the activity feed.

    Not causing any problems really, just thought I'd let someone know as there was clearly a good reason for it getting removed.

    :)

    Has anybody had an issue with Microsoft/xbox automatically editing out & replacing you gamerpic with something else?

    I had this close up of a bloody Viking head gamerpic

    Now I have a simple Viking with axe made from triangles

    Avatar not showing on live site and gamerpicture different.

    I'm not sure about the avatar, but the gamerpic is an Xbox One gamerpic. The website has been updated to show Xbox One gamerpics in some areas instead of 360 gamerpics. If you don't have a One, you're given a default gamerpic. Gamercards have not been updated
    to show Xbox One information which is why it's still a 360 gamerpic.

    Hi SillyPuttie,

    Sorry you're having issues with your gamer pic. So I've seen multiple solutions that do and do not work for some, so it's hit or miss. First how long is a while? It can take up to 24 hours for it to replicate out everywhere. Another item is doing an Xbox
    hard reset, with the xbox on, hold the power button down for 10 seconds (it will quickly shut off), then after is shuts off, power it back on (expect a longer than normal boot time). If that doesn't solve your issue try setting it online. I've seen where the
    console didn't update correctly, but then doing it online worked.

    Let us know, and hopefully one of these will get you sorted!

    To clarify, it's not my gamerpic that is at issue, it's other people's where they were previously using that picture. The picture still shows up in its original form when it's displayed in large form on the friends widget on the home screen. Everywhere else
    the cartoon style viking with the axe appears.

    I have done a hard reset at least once since I posted this and it's still happening.

    Like I said, I've posted this just to let the whoever is responsible know in case this is a problem, as I belive the original image was removed from xbox due to being stolen. It's not causing me any problems personally.

    The Viking one was my favorite. I don't know how long I have not had the gamerpic, but I'm fed up with not having it anymore. Now, I use a koi fish pic..... But I want that gamerpic back.

    Before I read the forums, I considered that there may have been a copyright issue, or something.

    This actually bothers me not to see a Viking pic pop up every time I turn on my Xbox.

    FIX THIS!
