Yesterday after I got back from work and grabbed the update I noticed a lot of odd flickering in games :(

It's really noticeable in PGR3 and somewhat obvious in Full Auto & NBA 2K6 - a fault of the update or my 360 starting to die?

The flickering appears in big horizontal stripes across the screen. Using a Sammy 32" R41 model screen with the xbox connected through VGA

Any ideas? Could really do without this as it's affecting my enjoyment of nearly beating my mate on NBA 2K6 :>
 
Sounds a bit like tearing thats pretty evident in games like Blazing Angels. I think i noticed the odd tear when moving between blades quickly after the update so i'd suspect that its the update at fault.
 
I've started to get a lot of tearing after the update aswell.

Getting it in the dash, Live arcade games, PGR3, MotoGP and GRAW demos.

Everything was fine before.
 
Yeh I have this too. :(

Only noticed it in Fifa with a line flicking up, was about to make a thread on it.

Hope they sort it!
 
If it helps, I'm still using the composite cables plugged straight into the TV (not using the scart adaptor) on a 32" WS CRT

Does it still do it in Component mode?

OMG MEGA BUMPAGE! :eek:


Finally got off my fat one tonight and did some testing :)

2 VGA cables & 1 component cable:

Flickering is clearly visible on both VGA cables but disappears when I use the component connection. However my DVD player is already connected via Component and I'd like to keep it that way :/

I know the x360 can be used as a DVD player but it's far too noisy :(

Wish MS would hurry up with a fix :/

I shall of course confirm it's not the TV by hooking up a PC to it later as well :)
 
have you correctly setup the display options in the XBOX menus?

The update may have changed these settings, try different ones.
 
Nothing to change when it's plugged in via VGA or Component worth mentioning.

I had to use composite to change it to PAL 60 to make NBA2K6 run that might be the only thing I can think of :o
 
I get awful flickering around my gamertag on the side of the blade when I press my guide button. Thats the only problem Ive noticed.
