I had to search for it in the store. I bought it a couple of years ago, so when it was not in the ready to install section I got worried. After quick search found it and it showed the install button. Been playing it and it plays decent. Got 2 quick cheevos as well.

Might & Magic and XCOM Enemy Unknown also had updates today
Yeah, after racing a little more, I've had a couple of those "hiccups" where it felt like it froze for like... a half a second, but then it would be fine again. One while I was driving around in free roam and once in a dirt kinda race thingy.
It bothered me, but it really didn't affect how much I enjoy the game in the long run.

I've disabled instant on and got in the habit of closing every app because of buggy behavior.

I bring up the menu and close every app after I exit to the dashboard if I am done with it. I do the same thing on PS4. I find this results in less problems and smoother operation in general.

anyone know if they updated Beyond good and evil, keeps freezing when i died months back
For info, lots of the Forza Horizon DLC is free: https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/...8024d5309c9?DownloadType=GameAddon&noSplash=1
I just played through this over the last few days and outside of a few drops I thought it was fine.

I found it in the Store, but it says to buy it from Xbox 360 or Xbox.com. =\
Edit: Ok, I found the problem. IIRC, it was on sale when I was on vacation one time; for some reason, I had trouble accessing my account from Xbox.com, so I got my brother to buy it and he let the download start on my 360. Just now, I had to buy it for $15 just so I have the license on my account.

Did anyone else have the Rally Expansion pack for Forza Horizon show up twice?
Thanks for this.

I finished it a couple of months back and didn't notice that bug at all.

Frames seem really choppy on FH. Do I need to do a hard reset to clear that up? Seemed smoother on 360

Just played for about an hour balls out in my Bugatti it was super smooth. Not a single hiccup.

Yes, but I believe the only multidisc game out right now is Deus Ex HR Director's Cut.
Just picked that up, too. Thought I got everything for a steal at $1.24 a few weeks back, when it was on DWG sale, but that Cabinet only included three games (and the framework for the rest of the DLC).
Really enjoying the access to arcade-style games, through Xbox BC. I wouldn't turn away a few more contemporary takes on the old-school titles, though.

Damn! Looking really nice! Can't wait to play this again, I'm actually one of those people that really liked the yellow tint (what all of GAf hates on with it's "piss filter" remarks), it suited the sunsets and the light was completely different at night time.Oh boy, it doesn't look good for FH1. Need to restart my console to see if the problems still exist then.
Edit:
Look at this: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/TheKeyPit/video/21059794
I really hope that a restart will fix this.

Screenshots:
It runs perfect. (very rare hiccups aside)
It plays very good, too.

Edit: I played for ~2 hours when I entered a barn find location and the stuttering occurred. The game crashed after a minute.

That vid is soooo making me want to play it again!
Are you getting localized voiceovers? I'm asking because I have the LE version on disc, but that only fetured the american commentators, while if you bought the ordinary disc version here in Norway you actually got Norwegian voiceovers. I'm hoping the digital version on Septembers games for gold is the localized one for laughs (though I doubt it).
Added you on Xbox Live btw!

That rally dlc though

Yeah, I have actually noticed that after I have finished playing a game/app that I just go back to the home page and quit the game/app before opening another as it always seems to have issues - slow/crashing.
By the looks of some replies, I am not the only one!
As far as I know you can set your region to whatever country you want to be able to download the digital version from that region. South Park Stick of Truth is censored in germany. I downloaded it while my region was set to US and now I have the uncensored version of the game.
The ordinary disc version is probably the same as the digital one.
Added you, too.
Maybe it has all of the DLC installed with it?
Nope.

Damn, now the base game isn't on sale. Why wouldn't you put them on sale together capcom

Just trying the clearing local 360 cache but the framerate for castle of illusion is not great.
The emulation is weird. I booted up my Xbox One and started FH1 without doing anything else. While playing I didn't even go back to the dashboard and didn't record any screenshots/clips. After ~1-2 hours I had to pause the game for ~1 minute. When I got back, the stuttering began.

I wonder how much smoother performance would be in general if we could disable the DVR features for backwards compatible games.

Yeah stuttering has been bad on COD black ops. Like almost freezes, I think it has to do witht he DVR because I had changed it to record the last 3 minutes. Gonna put it back to 1 minute

I wish there was more capcom stuff.
Yeah, it's really convienient since Xbox rewards apparently deposited 6.25 in my account for... some damn reason (¯\_(ツ
_/¯) and it costs 6.24. I've wanted it for a while so it's great to finally get it. Weird that they put the pack and the "main game/app" on sale on separate weeks though. I got the actual app like 2, maybe 3 weeks ago, I thinkscottXplosion

Any idea when FH1 will be free on the store through GWG? Dying to play it again, never owned it digitally
Should be up for free sometime this evening. The store usually updates around 9PM ET.
Thanks! Looking at this thread, the games performance seems pretty good for most people so I'm excited to dive back in!
I'm waiting for a Digital Foundry video to see how it really performs. Feels like constant 30 fps from what I've played so far.

Is your gamerscore 100K or over? That could be why.
No, it's only like... 93K something. I thought there used to be statements on the rewards site, but I can't find them anymore.
Whatever, I'm not complaining. It happens every now and and I usually put whatever it is towards some new game. There's a 10 year badge on my profile now. That looks new. I wonder if that has anything to do with it...

Why does every other platform have Castle of Illusion on sale besides Xbox? I'm not paying $15 when others have it for ~$3 :/

yeah, pretty annoying esp since it just went BC.

Ya shame. Looks like I'm not getting it before it's delisted
