Clearing the cache - safe?

    Hey guys,

    Attending a LAN later but of course, one person is being awkward and is not connected to XBox Live so is unable to download updates for games. So, instead the other systems have to revert back to the original version of the game.

    Everywhere I have looked it has given the same advice: Clean the cache
    (Go to the Xbox Dashboard, select the System Blade, and select Memory.
    * Highlight the HD symbol and press Y.
    * Press X, X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, X. )

    One thing is sticking in mind despite searching. I think the last time this was done on a system the guy lost his maps for Nazi Zombies and Custom Halo 3 maps. Obviously it is a situation to avoid...So is this the correct process for ensuring that the consoles can be hooked up to each other? Any other tips?

    Thanks!

    🤪

    He should still be able to download updates with a Silver Live account, just plug his xbox into the network point? Clearing the cache on all your machines, potentially losing updates and maps for the sake of one person is a bit heavy handed if you ask me

    It does seem a little heavy-handed. Unfortunately he doesn't have internet access, never mind a Live account! And he is the one behind the operation...Thankfully I don't have any extra maps :D

    Anybody going even that has a laptop and mobile broadband? Should only take a few minutes for him to update and then ye'll all be set to go, without any of your stuff getting wiped!

    How could he not have a Live account? Once you give yourself a gamertag you have a Live account, only different being silver or gold, and you can get updates with either once someone provide a basic internet connection, either through a laptop and mobile broadband or bring his 360 around to any of your houses for a few mins and the jobs done.

    The only way you cannot have a Live account and use a 360 is to constantly use the ''Guest'' account.
