TwistedTB said:Does Microsoft know about the issue with 360 Smartglass and are they going to fix it? Also, what other 360 games might have Smartglass related achievements.
I tried to run Smartglass on my iPhone 6S but it wouldn't run due to it being to old and not having a version for iOS 11. Then I tried it on my iPad 2 running iOS 9, spins but returns error message can't find Xbox. I then tried on my Windows 10 laptop, same error message. Then I broke out my old iPhone 4 out of mothballs and tried with that, same error message. I'm trying to connect to a 360, not an emulated game on the One. I have the settings on the 360 with Smartglass enabled but no luck. This really sucks.
It doesn't seem like that long ago Smartglass came out. I am getting pretty sick of Microsoft fobbing all these technologies on us like Kinect, Smartglass, Zune, Groove, etc. then killing them off.
You are definitely not alone, mate. For 5 DAYS I've been trying everything humanly possible to get this to work. I used:
- XBox 360 with wired connection
- XBox 360 Slim with wireless connection
- 2x Laptops with Windows 10 / XBox 360 SmartGlass app from the Microsoft Store
- A Laptop with Windows 8.1 / XBox 360 SmartGlass app from the Microsoft Store
- 2 different Smartphones with Android / XBox 360 SmartGlass App from the PlayStore
- A Virtual Machine running Windows 8 / Xbox 360 SmartGlass App from the Microsoft Store
- A Virtual Machine running Windows 8.1 / Xbox 360 SmartGlass App from the Microsoft Store
- MEmu (Android Emulator) / XBox 360 SmartGlass App from the PlayStore
- BlueStacks (Android Emulator) / XBox 360 SmartGlass App from the PlayStore
- Windows 10 Mobile Emulator / Box 360 SmartGlass App from the Microsoft Store
I tried every possible combination of consoles and devices with zero success. Either the app tells me it is unable to connect to the Xbox services or it tells me that it can not find any console (within a fraction of a second after clicking "connect"). I am so furious right now...
I've messaged a few players who unlocked the achievement and many said they used their iPhone/iPad for this and had no trouble at all. But they must have an iOS version below 11 as iOS 11 kills all 32-bit apps and there's no way to roll back to iOS 10.
But then again it didn't work out for you TwistedTB, what makes it even worse as there is not even a guarantee to unlock it with Apple products.
So unless there is a kind soul out there who'd be willing to help and log into my account to get this achievement for me, it will be unachievable forever.
Just fuck you Micro$oft, and thanks for nothing! This is so lame, really...
