Marble Blast Ultra XBOX 360 Problem with stuttering

by Roy Gore · in Marble Blast · 01/30/2006 (8:02 am) · 2 replies

I have noticed a issue which effects the smooth frame rate of your game on the XBOX 360. I noticed when I first played the game that the frame rate was stuttering slightly, especially easily to notice when just rotating the camera around the marble. After reading through some forums I found a guy who had found the same problem and found that it was caused by having the Windows Media Connect option enabled in the xbox 360 dashboard. Reading this I tried it out myself and like this chap, when I switched this option off I received a perfectly smooth frame rate. Why should this cause this to happen and I find it a real shame because this means I can not listen to my personal music without it making the game stutter. Is this a bug/problem which can be fixed?

Thanks

Nobody saw this in testing, and we all had WMC active. It's another issue, like the friend list thing, that didn't show up in any of the testing or cert process.

Thanks for the prompt reply, can I ask if this will be fixed or is something we are going to have to live with? Is it happening with everyone or just certain configurations?
Thanks
