Microsoft has been hard at work resolving a range of problems identified by the Xbox team or reported by customers which were introduced with the November 2010 Xbox 360 Dashboard update. The company had already explained that with a refresh of such magnitude, various issues, even major, generalized glitches were to be expected. Solutions were coming, had said the software giant on November 1st, 2010, on the heels of the fall Xbox 360 Dashboard update rollout.

Just two days later, having already confirmed a consistent collection of issues impacting gamers around the world, the Redmond company is now indicating that the major, most stringent problems with the Xbox 360 Dashboard update have been resolved.

As a direct result of the resolves implemented since the refresh went live at the start of this month/week, gamers will now be able to download the update without experiencing any glitches.

In addition, content that has already been purchased is now available for re-downloading. Another problem was related to avatar refresh, and that too has been fixed.

“After a long night of troubleshooting and tweaking by the team, I'm happy to be able to say that your experience on LIVE will be greatly improved today,” revealed a member of the Xbox LIVE Operations team.

“Yesterday a number of people were having problems downloading the update, updating the avatars, and re-downloading previously purchased content.

“The changes that went in over the last 24 hours have made a world of difference, and we'll continue to watch closely throughout the day.”

There are more issues reported by Xbox 360 console owners, both to Microsoft but also in the previous articles I wrote covering the Xbox 360 Dashboard update. The promise from the Xbox team is that more fixes are on their way.

“There were a number of issues raised in the comments of the previous post - we're looking into them, and please keep posting your experiences here as well,” the Xbox LIVE Operations team member added.

Users looking to watch ESPN using their Xbox 360 consoles on Time Warner Cable, will need to turn to ESPN's FAQ for a solution, the software giant explained.

In addition, Microsoft continues to look for feedback, especially in relation to one particular problem. “Yesterday we had a handful of reports of in-game freezes - is anyone still seeing that? If so, what game and at what point?” the company asked.

What about you? How has the Xbox 360 Dashboard Update treated you? Seeing any other problems? Have the fixes implemented by Microsoft worked?
