    Screen locks but game continues after a long pause. Possible conflict with Snap TV?


    Since GTA V takes a while to load, I usually have TV Snapped when I start GTA V. I'll switch between Snapped TV and Unsnapped TV while playing GTA V without a problem. But when I put the game on pause for a long time (say over an hour because I'm watching
    TV) and try to resume the game, the screen remains where I last left it and it doesn't change, but the map shows I can move around and do everything. Basically, the game continues but I can only see a still picture of where I left it last. I've tried so
    many things like get into cars, change perspective and change characters, but the screen is frozen on the same frame. The only way to play GTA V again is to restart the console.

    Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions on unfreezing the screen besides rebooting the console?

    :)

    Lack of Party App snap is so monumentally stupid that I'm sure I'm doing this wrong.

    Thanks DENA' - this doesn't work. The problem is that the party app DOESN'T "snap" any longer. It's either "live" or not. When it's live, it locks you out of whatever game you're playing, and also covers part of the game screen (before, the game screen used
    to shrink to make room for the snapped app).

    It's not possible to switch between party and game using the same button sequences as before.

    All games have digital manuals, while playing pause the game and say "help" the manual will then snap to the right of the screen.

    BRING BACK SNAP ON XBOX ONE

    The problem with the snap feature was that it worked perfectly in the US (and other NTSC TV broadcast areas) but in the UK (and other PAL broadcast areas) the snap feature for TV was terrible.

    The problem was that the screen would refresh at 60hz because that's what the console "spits out" but in the UK our TV is at PAL which means its 50hz. So basically if we snapped the TV while playing a game or whatever, the TV feed would look "jumpy".

    In my opinion the SNAP feature should stay dead, I mean we all bought games consoles to play games, and the SNAP feature (and other multitasking features) actually slowed the system down even if you weren't using them. This all stemmed back to games developers
    being told they could only use so much of the consoles power, Microsoft locked off some of the power for multitasking (and obviously the SNAP feature) Some of the power was given back to the developers when Microsoft streamlined the OS (possibly when they
    removed SNAP)
