Xbox Live Update Maintenance Schedule MTU Failed Monday

Xbox Live Update Maintenance Schedule MTU Failed Monday

By: Peter Chubb | September 30, 2008 | 73 Comments

As we mentioned on Monday, Xbox Live was down for a maintenance schedule so we thought we would give you an update. Many Xbox Live users had mentioned that MTU had failed as well yesterday.

The downtime was not for the much anticipated Xbox Experience, it was just for an update to the dashboard. My Xbox section of Xbox.com was also down in this maintenance time.

Xbox Live should be up and running today as the update was only to last for 24 hours. We just have to hope that there will be no problems once users log back in to their Xbox Live accounts. Let us know what you think about the new update.

  • itchyskids

    what a waste of precious playing time.

    IM GONNA GUESS… that the update may have been in preperation for a dashboard update. in a couple of days il turn on an it will say if i wish to use xbl i need to update for 20 min an then maybe it will be there.

    OR… theres no dash update. instead xbl now gives you the right to over 100% more crap on the market place to spunk all ur money an will even consider u for credit! lol….HAPPY XMAS. hehe

  • Tyler

    I can sign into xbox live, but there is no update. Just the same dashboard there has always been.

  • JiMiNi CRiiKiT

    Did the dashboard not get updated like it was supposed to for anyone else either?
    this blows

  • benny boy

    it’s 8:52 and it’s finally working.
    funny thing is i waited for nothing.
    the update failed and the old dashboard is up.
    i can get on live and everything.
    nothing has changed… yet.

  • Young Ox

    I guess the new updates will come in to play after the true 24 hours is up. Im in central time so I will try around 2:00 p.m. today to see if there has been a change in the dashboard and these features Xbox say that they are giving us.

  • Brett

    I could log on, but nothing happend, it was all the same stuff.

  • Evan

    I am online now so everything should be working. Guys you have to remember wherever you live whether its in the east or the west, Microsoft is lcoated in Texas. This means that xbl would be back up and running at 12:01/pacific time

  • daized

    No Update. When going onto cod4 into match says unable to join match at this time . what is going on?

  • dom

    FUCKING idiots the update is preparing the base unit software for the new software being implemented on their servers, there is NO dashboard yet, it’ll be here in november.

  • corey

    you guys are all freakin stupid!!!!! bother to read an article or 2 for 5 DAMN SECONDS and you’d know that THIS UPDATE WAS NOT THE DASHBOARD UP!!! ALL THEY WERE DOING WAS UPDATING THERE SEVERS AND PREPARING FOR THE FALL UPDATE COMING LATER!!!!!!! YOU WONT SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING VISUALLY DIFFERENT!!!!! THEY DIDNT SAY IT WAS THE DASHBOARD UPDATE NOR DID PROMISE AND CRAZY NEW FEATURES WITH THIS UPDATE SO STOP SAYING YOU GOT SCREW BY M$ BECAUSE YOU MERELY ASSUMED IT WAS THE UPDATE! You were unable to get on xbox live for roughly 26 hours….. boooo freakin hooo. go to sleep or get a freakin life! stop getting pissed at microsoft for nothing! not even nothing…. for making things BETTER in the long run! so just keep whining about updates and maybe m$ will just stop making updates and you’ll never have a single new feature, improvement, bugfix or anything like that for the life of your console but hey AT LEAST YOU WONT GO A SINGLE SECOND WITH OUT THE ABILITY TO PLAY ON XBOX LIVE EVERY SECOND OF EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE!!!!

  • FeRRATE

    gotta love how they don’t bother telling us what the update is for or what new “attempted” features they were going to implement. apparently nothing has changed and according to some of the previous posts, it was just a fun 24 hour practice break for the “REAL” xbox dashboard update coming NOT today, but at some undeclared later date?yes, MS let’s give you millions and you can’t even tell us WTF you’re doing?!Atleast MMORG’s bull and keep you posted with it. Seriously do you know how much time i was unable to unproductively waste? what an outrage ;-) now my boss will expect this much work out of me ALL the time; fuck you MS lol.

  • rob

    my live is now working but there is no update. wtf this is gay

  • H0meCh1cken

    I got into a CoD 4 match today actually about 4 hours ago…

    Anyone who says they want to be reimbursed for their 1 or even generously 2 days of subscription, send me your address and ill give you your 32 cents back. Noobs.

  • caleb

    The update isnt going to start working till november!!

  • taylor

    seems the real issue here isn’t the update. its the matchmaking in COD4…its fucked now. cant get into any team deathmatches, and barely into a domination. if you ever get in a party……stay in it.

  • travis

    wtf is wrong with this! if they are gunna go offline for 24 hours at least whenvever we turn our xbox’s back on let us see a new dashboard not the same one! forget ms.

  • corey

    omg omg omg omg omg……….. are people REALLY still bitching?!?!?!?!? its 24 hours you werent able to play on xboxlive, you all act like bill gates showed up tp your houses ans stole your 306′s screaming NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH! YOU CANT HAVE IT ANYMORE! the update was for THERE SERVERS so it could handle the new dash update coming up. THERE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ANY UPDATES TO THE DASH OR ANY UPDATES IN FEATURES DURING THIS “UPDATE”. This was purely for there servers to be configured and set for the new dash. how the hell to people LIVE being so damn ignorant!!!!????

  • bloodbath

    Although I agree that going without Xbox live for a day or two won’t kill anyone, I can see why people would be upset. You are paying for those days that are missed. Will Microsoft extend everyone’s membership by a day or two? Probably not. Yes, I know it only comes out to a loss of several cents per day, but it comes down to the principle of the whole thing.

  • DeepSatan666

    mines working :D

  • Patrick

    Hey wtf? Now all tests work but xbox live which I was just on is not letting me log in. I just get this 360 last week because everyone says how great live is and the is not working for 2 of the 6 days I have had it. sucks! Get this fixed!

  • zak

    man……i got on this morning and now i tried to go back on it and it wont let me….
    it wont sign in to xbox live it just says signed in but not signed in to live

  • Dr Body Massage

    Ok, so My xbox was fine. its sept 30 11:00 PM and it stopped working again. Am i the only one? I tested my connection. Everything passed but xbox live? WHAT IS GOING ON?

  • adrian

    I was playing COD4 for about 2 hours straight and at 1004pm sept30th. it went off line, then i tried over and over to get back on and nothing. It is now 1105pm and still cant connect.

  • maestro

    ok, it’s been down for a day, fine, i go to play at night at 11:30 today, sep 30, playin halo 3, about to win a game, then it suddenly transferes me to the lobby and says i’m disconnected. i try to sign into xbox live again and again and it says the xbox live part of the test falied. it’s still not working? huh? i guess they decided to update again w/o telling us? how much longer do we have to wait? i can’t even look at my profile info on xbox com. it says the page is unavailable, wtf?

  • Twitchy

    mine says XBL is down, all other pass.

  • kalei

    well i cant log on lol

  • http://Jimmy haloKILLA

  • australia

    it works for an hour and then stops and then you cant sign in for about 10min.
    this is crap and worse of all there was no update

  • http://myspace.com/waialua Noah

    I am having a problem with my update. When I turn on my xbox 360, its fine and go’s to xbox live. Then when I put any of games in, it says to download a update. Then when I download it, it fails and brings me to the dashboard. Can someone message me back with my because Forza 2 is getting boring after 2 days of racing. My GT= xTobin 808x

  • zach

    This does not surprise me one bit. For me it takes 5 minutes just to load the god damn dashboard!! Then it says I’m signed in but not into live. But I put COD4 it and it works just fine on live. I think these unexpected errors with that good for nothing update will be fixed by the end of this week.

  • H4x0r JimDuggan

    If you guys had taken the time to actually go to the xbox web page and read a little instead of staring at your TV counting the 24.8 hours that xbox live was down you would have known that it was NOT the dashboard update, and not gotten your hopes up in the first place. It specifically said on the xbox live web page that this was just an update to prepare for the new dashboard later this fall. For those of you the update didnt install, download it, burn it to a CD, and put it in your xbox to install it manually.

  • Mike

    Same thing is happening to me! I try to sign in, and sometime it works, sometimes it wont connect and sometimes it likes to trick me and wait until I’m in a game to randomly disconnect. What did the update even do? All that happened for me was a nice boot-full of fail all over my connection.

  • Jeremy

    its a hassle for me to get online. for one thing i passed all the tests and yet i failed to go onto xbox live. but what was weird about was that when i rebooted the system, i was able to get online…although it didn’t always work. xbox live is completely broken; i can’t download anything on the maretplace (videos, tv shows, demos, games, nothing.), recieve messages, or even play online games ( i can’t even play SC IV online). i also noticed that if i do happen to go online, NOBODY else did, not even the players i fought against previously. what was even stranger was that when i looked at some of their gamer tags, they had no stars and all of their achievement points were down to zero, which had me raising questions about this maintancing (which was supposed to FIX xbox live, not DAMAGE it).

    i’m really beginning to lose my patience with mircosoft. they’ve pissed me off on more than one occasion; this one included. if they keep letting me down like this, i’m gonna end up switching over to the ps3. >:1

  • Jeremy

    @ v4x0r JimDuggan
    What the hell does the fall dashboard update has to do with my issue on xbox live? of course this wasn’t the update and i sure as hell don’t have the time to sit at the screen all day to wait for it. i was just pointing out how bad the maintancing thing is turning out

  • greg

    ok i’m having a problem with my xbox live since the update i have two consoles ever since the update i cant connect them both at the same time i can keep on online with one but as soon as i connect the second one it boots the first if i try to sign back on it boots the other anyone else having problems like this

  • Zach

    I only have one Xbox so I don’t know what to tell you. If I were you I would go on Xbox.com and call support and see what they have to say.

  • edwin

    stop using bad words this website is supposed not to have bad words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
