Problem number one:
One of the users asks: “After clicking on the review, I’m thrown to home page damn XBOX "Outdated devices support"
I think that here I will call the best expert we have - that is, Myself.
In short, says the expert, you need to remove this crap from your computer, because live cannot update too old versions.
Just type "WINDOWS" into "Add/Remove Programs"
After that: either download new files from their official website (good luck with the search, losers), or simply download the game for which this system is needed. But if you are completely hardcore crazy, then after deleting them, check the integrity of the cache of that very game.
And yes, I don’t know how to get “No” out of the keyboard - like a number. He's a C, in short, you understand.
Help, or rather the lack thereof.
Each request for help, whether in comments or through adding as a friend, was processed in the same way - going through the entire registration on the site up to this malicious tag with the creation and deletion of mail.
I can't do this anymore. If Microsoft changes something (and they have already done this, and radically), then I simply will not be able to go through this change. Why, you ask me? They added an authenticator for mobile.
Ironic, don't you think? Create a system with the idea so that people don’t register dozens of accounts and push it into a place where you have to register a new one every time in order to understand what’s going on there.
Even though I had a PS, I never understood the problem of consoles, and even now I don’t understand, just like with video cards - people of narrow minds do all this. But I'm glad I donated money to Sony and not Microsoft.
To give an analogy: giving preference to Xbox is like being on the Amigo browser. It seems to work and is not very different from others, but not everyone will smile year after year when the creator sweeps his face with indifference and contempt.
I'm indifferent to all consoles, but I'm a little bit of an Xbox fan, just a little bit, but I keep an eye on them. Well, you know, I can't trust people without self-respect. By the way, Gabe had it.
