CNA 009d40f5 (009d40f5dd085c4e674d3479675fac84b12b3e0a)

Evidence basis

Source-verified: read at TARGET, not executed

Tests touching this area

Yes: see Current tests

Affected contract

Guide::Show* (fourteen overloads) and Guide::DelayNotifications

Expected behaviour

On XNA these open the Xbox LIVE Guide panes (sign-in, friends, marketplace, messages, party, gamer card).

Actual behaviour at TARGET

Their bodies in Guide.cpp are empty; only the message box and keyboard input have a local implementation. CNA has no LIVE service, so there is nothing to show, but no local substitute exists either (a sign-in pane, for example, could manage local profiles).

Source locations

• modules/gamer-services/src/Xna/Guide.cpp — Guide::Show* and DelayNotifications bodies

Evidence

Checked by reading at 009d40f5; not executed.

Focused reproduction

No focused reproduction is known. Nothing has been invented here; the evidence above is what exists.

Current tests

Guide tests cover the message box, keyboard input and state properties.

Regression test

If local panes are added, a test per pane.

Blast radius

Games that call these to let players sign in, view achievements or open the marketplace: nothing happens.

Workaround

Provide in-game UI for these functions.
