    Searching for game on the main screen for like 5 minutes now...wth??


    I just got the game from gamefly, Thank God...I am so tired of these games that are tied to network signing in. Is this normal for this game or is there an Xbox Live issue curently going on?? I hope someone can get a clue like they did with the whole "Online
    Pass" system and how many people it pisses off when you can't even play a game with intermittent server issues or if you buy a sportd game and it becomes the new "Old" game and then the servers are done like any 2K series game lately.

    Also, Is there a fix to having to wait to play the game with online players and just login to the game and start playing...like I don't know, OFFLINE???? lol

    :)

    Dashboard Beta Issue

    I cannot access the beta forums so I'm posting it here.

    Since the latest update which I received 23/07/2013, my games and apps have been taking a long time lo load up.

    I can launch the games fine but when it hits the loading screen it stays on there for about 2 minutes, then my Xbox will black-screen for a further 5-10 minutes before the game reaches its main menu screen.

    Does take a good few minutes when you first load up the game I'm afraid. You have to go online to tell it to play offline.

    Answers to who's great idea that was on a postcard please.

    I was having the same issue . Would take sometimes 5 minutes to find a game .

    I called my internet provider and had the NAT set to open on my modem and now it only takes

    A few seconds to find a game .

    Go to network settings on your x1 and it will show if your NAT is open , moderate , or strict.

    If moderate or strict it will affect your matchmaking

    sot keeps changing my screen size

    seriously wth did sea of thieves do to windows after installing it and playing. now one other program and now when windows starts, shrinks my damn screen to having big ass black borders around it..... yes the game did it. it NEVER did it before the game
    was installed and played. and you cant even access the setting file (because god forbid some like to manually adjust screens in it). to even see wth the game is doing with settings.

    Xbox Live Adapter keeps switching off and on or loses connection randomly

    - Scratch that again. After trying 5 minutes later it now switches on. Dunno wth was going on there.

    - Also tried swapping USB ports but neither make a difference. I've tried disconnecting the charger lead for the pad but no difference.
