View Full Version : Live shows not working
Is anyone else having problems with the live show at E3?
For me it was buffering loads and when I refreshed the page it just didn't load.
It's not my connection because we have 4Mb/s and it's 1:12AM so no one else is online, I'm at the point now where I might as well just wait till the morning, which is a shame as I was looking forward to this and stayed up late for it :(.
Well it's still loading now.
Anyone else got this problem.
Working now, finally.
I'll have to re-watch the stuff I missed tomorrow anyway so what's the point?
Great the part that's working best without any buffering is the sponsor. I wonder if that is because everyone else tuned out.
Can't they just let it buffer behind so it's not 100% live, that would be soo much better than it cutting like it as now.

It is skipping a lot for me. I hear partial sentences.
EDIT: Looks like Firefox is not playing nice. I've been having tons of problems recently with Firefox. Try another browser and see if it helps.
EDIT #2: seems like Safari is also having hiccups. So I blame bitgravity now.

Unfortunately this live show is unwatchable. If the support team wants a video of what I'm seeing, let me know and I can upload it to Youtube. I did not record any sound, but you get the idea.

I have to admit that I was seriously disappointed with the first live coverage. For the most part it was unwatchable. It skipped all over the place, froze up, and half of the time I didn't know what game they were even talking about. And I guess overall I was expecting more like interviews with the game creators either by bringing them up to the the stage or going down to the different booths to do interviews. All they really did was stand there and talk about what they saw and it didn't work for me at all. But hey there are still two shows left and hopefully they will do a bit more and have the bugs fixed out by the time tomorrow rolls around....

yeah i was having lots of problems as well so i decided to give up and watch later but now i cant even do that. will it be posted at a later date o will we never be able to see it again. i was kind of hoping it would be like the ces shows where its watchable after the live run but apparantly not?
Does anyone know if this happened with the CES coverage or if it is a one of problem.
Either way I'm skipping tonights live show to gets some sleep and if people say the problems are fixed I'll catch the last one.
Also I hate to be a bore but is there a reason these show need to be live, it's not like it's a camera in the conference and it's not that long, they could juat film it then upload it unedited.
It wouldn't be live but I see no reason for it to be live, there is no live chat and all the news we already know from the guys twitter we are just watching to see what they think about it.
