sweeet I got this working...funny thing was that it was rediculously easy. The thing that's great is that there's always someone better than you there.

It should be configured automatically.

when you play on XBC can you talk to the other people on your team?
Yes, but not using a Communicator. You have to use a separate program.


like...?

XBC integrates with Skype, but I've had problems with it. I just use MSN.

I'm having a problem with XBC. My Xbox is correctly connected to the network, my ports forwarded, and my firewalls are off before I start XBC, yet my xbox won't find the host's game. I've talked to the people in the help chat and they don't have a clue whats up.

Can anyone here help?

If it is every game I can't help you but if it is certain games. It could be because pal and ntsc xbox's. Sometimes they are locked, timeout, or they haven't made the game yet. That about the only reason why I can't see the games sometimes.

P.S. I don't know about you guys but if i run aim while playing xbc it laggs bad so I log off every user and only have xbc running.

I was running MSN with voice chat active. No lag. Skype, however, lagged it badly and crashed XBC.

this is why it pays to read these damn forums. for some reason i always assumed xbconnect required a modded xbox.

now i just played my first xbconnect game and it rocked hard core!

now i can use this to work on my skills so i don't get so horribly screwed on xbox live when Halo 2 comes out.

Ha, All the people who think there so good at legendary are going to get wasted the day Halo 2 goes live. Theres always someone better as many of you are finding out now.

Skype doesnt make anything lag however I belive you need to be a pro user to fully integrate it with XBC.

And Also its not illegal at all, on the XBC forums theres been much talk about that if you feel like looking it all up.

I wanna play some of you guys that say that youve never gotten beat before im on during the day like from 11 to 4 and any west coast with no lag.

Every one should get xlink. its so much better. Instead of having to run back and forth from the xbox and the computer, you just enter the halo category, and all the available games show up in halo! You only look at the computer once! Set it...and forget it!!!

xlink does sound better, but i have my computer right next to my xbox. So that means that 100 games are showing up on the screen where you choose what game to enter that could take a while to look through. with xbc they tell you what kind of game it is by looking at the screen.

The only problem there is with it is that it can get laggy when you rush the time limit, have to choose your game from the internet, and can only talk with fellow teamates from the computer. Thats bad for me cause when I try to talk with the other guys I have to run into the other room to talk and when I get back I find my dead body lying on the ground.

  • 07.27.2004 5:28 AM PDT

Rushing the timer being a cause of lag is a myth in my experience.

IF someone has that name already then it wont log in so try a unique name and see if that works and with rushing the clock i think it is true if i rush the clock it lags if i dont it doesnt lag
