Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Hopefully the will fix the Sniping while running issue.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Now that is a good deal!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I know, gutted to be a day one adopter :mad:

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

No need to be gutted as we got a free game with it too, obviously we could wait another year and save another £50 too with a possible redesign or hard disk size increase, but then you end up waiting for ever for the next best thing and never having what you want.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I know your right, let's just hope the new Xbox update brings back the ease of Xbox live on the 360!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

This should improve it, although i never really chat online i just play online games with random people, so i wouldn't really know but here is a video of it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Question on DR3 I've been running around collecting stuff, (and killing zombies of course :D ) and realised that time was running out.

Question if I complete the game (and stop the nutter bombing, i guess no spoilers please) can I still kill zombies without worrying about running out of mission time

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have now posted this in the forum

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Can you ask them when streaming from network drives will return like on the X360. :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Done

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Cheers i need to spread rep around before i can thank you!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Nps. TBH i have been forgetting to do that for ages so dont worry about it

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Cheers :)

I hope they do fix it. It's caused by the exact same thing: 50Hz content being output at 60Hz, causing judder.

Ah, good call!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Ok so just to let you guys know i also posted the below on the forums as well. Some else has agreed and will keep you updated

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Got the invite myself to the preview tonight, registered and just gotta wait 48hrs now, another voice for us in the forums ;)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I hope I get an invite too.

Edit I just checked Xbox live and I also got the beta invite.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

First wave will be going out in next few days

Nice one :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just added the app to the X1 but it is now saying loading please wait, is that normal?

---------- Post added at 22:39 ---------- Previous post was at 22:33 ----------

I got it sorted, just got to wait now to see if they accept my registration.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

No invite for me :(

I also joined the Ambassador thing last week. Done all the quizzes, helped out with Chats (most of which have people asking questions that they could answer themselves if they bothered to check the support section on Xbox.com :rolleyes: ), and stuck my name in a thread in the Ambassador forums that said it was for asking for invites...

Good question! :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

i am in beta aswell i think i'm in first wave so will let u know what i like about it

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just to let you guys know, it seems Dolby Digtial support has been added in this update as well as Bitstreaming

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

they add 50mhz support aswell for us in uk

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes it was posted last night, glad they're finally fixing things that should have worked from the start, i am still waiting to find out if i am in the beta.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

MHz?? When did we start broadcasting in CPU speeds? :D:D:D:D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

MHz was used on tv's way before computing used it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Still awaiting confirmation of my registration, does state it can take up to 48hrs.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I think i am now in the beta as the message i got from the app saying it can take 48hrs has now changed to 'This Xbox is registered to preview updates. This Xbox will remain registered until the current preview ends.' Then i have the option to Unregister or Exit the screen.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes Snoopz means you are.

My Xbox One has now update onto the preview update

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

So did the Xbox just flash up a message saying installing new update or did you have to reboot?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Turned it on and then it came pup with the green updating bar then it was on the new update.

I have now hooked up my Sky Box to it after enabling 50Hz and there is no judder. I have it on Sky Sports News HD

The bitstream doesn't do what I wanted it do so left it on Uncompressed

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

YAY! :D

What is it you want? What's wrong with it?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I think somebodies broken XBL?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

We'll bitstream option has 2 option which are Dolby Digital and DTS which is fine for the headphones but I wanted bitstreaming to be able to send audio from Blu Ray disks to the AMP and let the amp decode it so I get the lights on the AMP (DTS HD MSTER) etc but it doesn't seem to do that as it seems it's normal DTS as the light stay as just DTS so I've had to change the setting back to 5.1 uncompressed

Glad it's not just me that has XBL issues

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I've got the same message now saying this Xbox is registered, await it being pushed through then :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I read the message, must have pressed A (accidentally) and it deleted the message, and no way to recover it. Teach me to use microsoft, it has lurched from one crappy thing to another

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It is not Microsofts fault you deleted the message. lol

As long as you didn't unregister, if you did delete the code for the beta invite then try contacting support and get them to resend the message.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Ah, right, that sounds a bit crap, then. I hope you're giving this as feedback to MS!

So when outputting the DTS/Dolby bitstream over HDMI it's not outputting DTS/Dolby HD, just normal DTS/Dolby?



Also, can you select Dolby *and* DTS? Or is it one *or* the other?

If I'm to use my Xbox One for media instead of my PS3, I want it to be able to output both without me changing it each time depending on what the disc is encoded with.

On the PS3 (and I'm sure also the 360), it can output both Dolby and DTS without you having to pick one *or* the other - no need to switch formats each time you play a DVD/BD that uses the other one. Disc that uses Dolby? It will output Dolby. Disc that uses DTS? It will output DTS.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

There was nothing saying I was deleting. I open up a message, and the most obvious button to touch, deletes the message. Sorry, that is microsoft's fault, puzzled you would think otherwise.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

On my Xbox there is a delete button on the left of the message, it would be better to give a confirmation box though before it is actually deleted.

Have you not contacted ms about it on their forums like other people have?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I will be posting as feedback yes. Yes i believe its just for norma DD/DTS. You can only choose one option and not both. Im not sure what happens if you choose DTS but the film is DD for example

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Even though i was accepted into the update i still haven't got the new firmware.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It can take 48 hours after running the registration app. When did you run it?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I thought the registration app took 48hrs for you to be either accepted or not? I was accepted yesterday evening, so i guess it can take another 48hrs after being accepted? :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I believe you get the update 48 hours after running the app. It used to be like that on the 360 if I remember correctly.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Shame as i am glad i got accepted into it and i really want to try out the 50hz TV fix. :)

---------- Post added at 15:23 ---------- Previous post was at 15:17 ----------

I guess i will be turning the X1 off and on all evening.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I just got my update. You'll know when you've got it because it'll start flashing if you have it turned off.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I got my update :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Should be soon for me then, i want to test the 50hz issue out.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

That's lame :(

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Mine has finally started the update process after i manually switched the console on.

---------- Post added at 19:06 ---------- Previous post was at 18:56 ----------

Is there a setting i need to change for 50hz output for the TV as i don't have anything to test it on really other than the Sky News ticker?

---------- Post added at 19:21 ---------- Previous post was at 19:06 ----------

This is annoying i just can't tell if it has changed anything on my TV or not as i still have to keep Film Mode Auto 1 switched off on my TV or i get some panning judder through the V+, i have nothing else to test so disappointed i have to yet again keep this setting turned off.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

On some TV's you can check the input details like mine TV for example is an LG and if i use the LG TV remote and press ok it tells me the resolution and the refresh rate

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I can't do any of that, but my picture is always judder free if i turn Film auto 1 off on my TV so it is all good, but i was expecting it to make it judder free with it on.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Not sure then but if 50Hz option is turned on then it should be all good

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Turned on? Is there a setting I need to select?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

1. Go to Settings

2. Select TV & OneGuide

3. Select Troubleshooting

4. Select Video

5. Select Enable 50Hz to enable this setting.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Excellent thanks the problem is now fixed for me, the sky news ticker is smooth. They sure hid that setting though!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Glad its sorted

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I noticed that games still run in 60hz which is good.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yep. When watching TV and you go back to dash the dash stays at 50Hz and then as you as you go to another app or snap tv the side it goes 60Hz

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Update installing now! :D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Glad you finally got it!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

theres a new update been released lads ain't got it yet tho

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Any idea what is in it?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Its a stability update and fixes a few things with sign in and IE

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

This update also gives you the option to update your controller. :)

http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/12...entry596287407

Edit, actually the other update has this option too.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Well, I'm disappointed with two things I had been looking forward to:

- Dolby Digital, for the reasons mentioned previously (e.g. not being able to have both Dolby *and* DTS enabled for DVDs/BDs).

- 50Hz support... I had hoped it would also be added for DVDs, given they suffer the exact same issue, but it's only for the TV.


I've started threads about both in the Preview forums (one each in the feedback forum and feature request forum).

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

What about blurays was there ever an issue with those with judder?

---------- Post added at 19:20 ---------- Previous post was at 19:16 ----------

It looks like the controller update may have been to do with the headset.

http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-o...eadset-adapter

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes, from launch.. but because of poor 24Hz support, rather than anything to do with 50Hz.

It was better last time I tested, but still not perfect (i.e. still not as good as the PS3).

50Hz for DVDs, perfect 24Hz for BDs, and proper Dolby support are the main things I need before I can start using my Xbox One for media and retire my PS3.

[Pull-DLNA used to be on that list too, but now I have a Smart TV I don't need a console for that]

Yeah, I read recently that it was for the headset adaptor :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

just getting second patch now lads cannot wait for headset adapter use my turtle beaches again. the controller patch is to do with titanfall aswell i think

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Got the latest update this morning when i fired the X1 up, not had chance to look at what has changed yet.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The sensitivity update for Titanfall was in the February update.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

How did you guys get the beta update? I know MS were 'randomly' selecting people but it seems you all got access!

I'm really sick of the black screen of death after playing games - I get it almost 90% of the time and I'm really bored of hard resetting my console. I would really like to get this update as early as I can...

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I don't know about the others, but I joined the Community Ambassador programme and then used that to gain entry (the Ambassador forums have a thread where you stick your name down to get an invite).

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I got randomly selected. I thought it was to do with the fact I was a day one adopter

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I beta tested all the 360 Dash previews so presume I was included due to that, I did put my mates gamer tags in to the forum last week and they've all been accepted!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I think people that are in the X1 beta program can put forward other users, so if you want a possible invite from MS then send me your gamertag. :)

I wish i could remember how to do this though, as i can't the for life of me find that option now!

edit it is done via the xbox forum so can do it if you're on my friends list.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes please :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just sent you an invite for xbox live then i can try and add you to the forums list.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm already on your friends list ;)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I thought so too but i sent an invite to the gamertag at the bottom of your post as i couldn't find you.

Just checked again and you're not on there.

---------- Post added at 14:13 ---------- Previous post was at 14:03 ----------

If you want adding now you need to accept the friend invite as i will be away from the computer and you're currently coming up as pending still. :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Ok sorted

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just added you to the invite thread on the beta forum not sure how long it will take if you're accepted.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm not on your friends list, in fact my only friend is my wife :( but appreciate if someone can help. This issue has got me wanting to chuck the Xbox one out the window :)

Gamer tag is Acathla

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just sent you a request when you have accepted i will add you to the invite thread for the beta.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

When I bought my X1 I installed the Blu-Ray app, and watched a film, and I have never seen any juddering and I haven't changed any seyying and I do watch it on a 22" 1080p HDTV.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

What about TV through the X1?

The latest fix has made it perfect now although it has to be re enabled after every update.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You must have just not noticed it, or the film you were watching didn't have a lot of panning shots or fast action.

Watching a Blu-ray film at 60Hz causes juddering, because the standard rate for film is 24fps. This happens whatever Blu-ray player you use: If you watch a BD film at 60Hz it will have judder, that's why 24Hz / 24fps mode exists.

Watching a Blu-ray at 24Hz should not cause juddering, as it's playing at the correct rate for film...but the Xbox One's Blu-ray player app had serious issues with 24Hz mode, leading to it still suffer juddering anyway (along with audio sync problems).

It has been improved since launch, via app updates and console updates, but is still not as good as the Blu-ray playback on a PS3.

DVDs suffer from judder due to a similar issue: PAL DVDs are meant to be played at 50Hz, yet the Xbox One forces them to 60Hz, causing judder...

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

My controller battery went flat while using, no on screen warning or home light warning message like on the 360.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yep , had this happen also , what's the point of a battery indicator if you still get no warning when the controller is going to die !!!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

With Titanfall due to land in a couple of weeks, I'm after some 'friends' on my xbox live. Currently I have 2 - my wife and SnoopZ :)
