What makes me laugh though, it installs the apps just fine. But updates and games? Forget about it. Go and have a shower while waiting.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Well the apps are tiny and the games are maybe 40gig.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Dragon Age: Inquisition now in the EA Access Vault.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It bugs me how ssllllllloooooowwwwww MS cap downloads, my works upload is faster and they are on 8Mb DL.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It is the installing that is the problem, if you go into the X1 network settings it tells you the download speed, still not great but it should be way more than 8mbit.

For Battlefield 4 owners with EA Access you can currently get the Naval Strike DLC for free until 3rd September.

Xbox One Elite Bundle

http://news.xbox.com/2015/08/xbox-one-elite-bundle

http://majornelson.com/2015/08/31/ne...ss-controller/

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/c...te-bundle/home

Xbox One + 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive + Elite Wireless Controller.


Launches in November for $499. No UK price yet, but the US price is the same as the 1TB Halo 5 bundle, which is £399 in the UK.

Given that you get a 1TB SSHD rather than a 1TB HDD, *and* you get an Elite controller (which itself is over £100 on its own), that's actually a pretty good price.


I was going to get the Elite controller anyway, and had been considering getting a new console, so I think I will probably just get this.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just bought Mad Max, so hopefully will install tomorrow.

Shame it's only single player.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Is the next FIFA game due to be released in September sometime? Or should I wait a year for it to hit the EA Access?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Its released on 24th September

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Please can anyone help me. I recently went from PS3 to owning the Xbox One and the performance of Netflix seems poor in comparison. It almost looks like it's a lower frame rate and judders during streams.

My Samsung plasma TV is outputting the picture at 1080P at 60hz.

I'm very fussy about picture quality and a little disappointed. Playing games on the Xbox One the picture quality is amazing in my opinion.

I did a bit of googling to get a resolution and noticed when the machine first released there were problems and many people say they were ironed out.

Please any suggestions would help. I'm a Virgin Media customer on the 152Mb service and use 5G wifi connection on the SU2.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

In the Xbox options there is a setting to make everything TV related to 50hz otherwise the picture would judder when watching broadcast TV, i guess this maybe the issue with netflix but not sure.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

This option is already ticked in the display settings. Thank you for the suggestion though

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have run out of ideas, can you try wired to see if the problem goes away as i dont have any issue streaming wireless on 5ghz with netflix although the xbox is only about 10 feet from my SH2.

I will check after work whether my TV reports as 60hz or 50hz when using Netflix and report back unless someone beats me to it.

Another thing you can try is a hard reset, hold the power button on the console for 10 secs to force a full boot and also try different wireless channels in the SH settings.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I tried the wired connection to no avail. Really odd as Netflix worked great on the PS3. I've done a full reboot and run the network test in the Netflix options. Funny how my wife doesn't see it but I do. I feel it has some thing to do with the display being 1080P @ 60Hz but there's no option to change this as I'd like to try 1080P @ 50Hz.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just done some tests on mine, and although mine doesn't display when it is in 50-60hz i can tell when it is switching from one to the other based on the 1080p HDMI message popping up.

So based on my results below and the fact that you get the same wired which rules out wireless i conclude that either your TV has an issue with 1080p 60hz or there is an issue with your broadband not being as stable as it should be.

My:
Netflix is displayed at 60hz 1080p
Xbox menu and games run at 60hz 1080p
TV broadcast is displayed at 50hz 1080p

Just had a thought though, look in your TV settings for things like motion flow and have a play, failing that borrow another TV or even another HDMI cable.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'll have a look through my TVs display options and have a play. Thanks for the advise.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Still got problems?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Windows 10 should be coming to the Xbox One previewers in the next few weeks.

http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft...iew-users-soon

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I've recalibrated the whole picture displaying settings for both the Xbox One and my TV and it's improved it well. Sitting in front of my TV starring at it for what felt like hours adjusting and tweaking. It's seems nicer on the eye now.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I've never had a problem with my TV picture calibration luckily, just a case of plugged it in and switch on if I remember correctly, what problems did you have?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

One thing I'd advise to double check is whether your TV supports the higher deep colour modes. Simply selecting the highest value doesn't always give the best results. Secondly, most of my TVs processing gave a poorer picture and by turning of a majority of settings for dynamic contrasting and edge enhancing made the picture better. Finally tweaking the c olour, hue, brightness and contrast for around an hour did the trick.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Windows 10 deployment on the Xbox One is hopefully going to start this week with invites starting to be sent out to some Xbox One Preview members.

http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft...owing-backlash

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm intrigued out Win 10 on the X1

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I hope i am in the first wave of invites as not all preview members for Xbox get it at the same time.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I've hardly provided any preview feedback, so I'm not expecting to be in the Win 10 preview for a while :(

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Same here!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Nor me, I've been more into using the console for iPlayer and Netflix lately rather than playing games.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have just had an email from MS regarding the New preview!

You have to OPT IN if you hope to get it and they will roll it out in waves.

Be warned guys this is VERY broken, so read up on what games and Apps don't work before taking the plunge.

I did Opt In but after reading the below i may Opt Out again!

http://www.windowscentral.com/heres-...rience-preview

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I was going to opt-in (got the email as well) but also after reading that I am in two minds. I like trying new stuff but I dont want to break my console :) I notice you can opt-out but it will factory reset your console which means re-downloading everything again.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Where does it say factory reset as i missed that bit?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

When you're opting in to it it pops up.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Bollocks, well if i have to re download everything i will Opt Out again, unfortunately i can't yet do that as in the processing of Pending for Opting In.

I am hoping i can move back to the normal Preview group soon otherwise i may never get in the Preview again! This will teach me not to accept something without reading it properly.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You only download everything again if you opt out I think.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Oh right, still not sure i am ready for all the bugs though, i bet UK TV doesn't work and will stutter again! I also use the media remote all the time and they say that doesn't work, and if it stops me playing Elite Dangerous!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You don't have to redownload eveything if all your stuff is mostly on an external HDD ;)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm not touching the insider thing at all for a while. And now with my brother here for a week I have no time for gaming anyway or using the console at all.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Luckily i have an external.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I gather Win 10 is a cut down version of the PC one, no office suite etc.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Well, yeah - it's still a console.

It's "powered by Windows 10" rather than actually running full-on Windows 10.



As for the New Xbox One Experience Preview - Ha! No chance, not with that list of issues! :erm:

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Well I never really use apps and mostly play games and none of the games I play a lot are on that list so I am going to opt in.

Most of those issues will be fixed before long I am sure.

My MGS save game started to get corrupted. Was getting 'unable to create save game. Please exit and delete save game'

Thankfully found that if I put in offline mode and hard reset, change the date and load the game it works fine. Hopefully it will still be fine when I try it online again.

---------- Post added at 21:57 ---------- Previous post was at 21:44 ----------

The way I read it is that you can opt in, download the new update and if you don't get on with it you can then opt out and your console will revert back to the old software, but it has to do a full factory restore to do so.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

why are any of you in the insider preview in the first place if none of you like bugs? :/

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

there are bugs and there are BUGS :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I agree you never get bugs this compromising in normal previews.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

... that's exactly what I was going to say! :D



I've never had *any* issues with past Previews, but none have been as major as this. I'm not keen on the idea of how certain games I play "may" fail to load :erm:





... but you will go back to the latest *public* release, and be removed from the entire Preview Programme, not just the New Xbox One Experience Preview.

If you could revert back to the standard Preview, I'd be more likely to try it...

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You're one of the regulars now, when did that happen, as usual no announcement by CF?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I quit the CF Team last night. Been thinking about it for a while, as I've not been very active here as a mod or member for ages, with just the odd post here and there in Gaming and Entertainment. Seeing Rob/MGP leave spurred me to finally do the same, although I should have done it a while back really.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It's all that news posting on BXB isn't it? It's slowly sucking your life away. :D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

So we lost 2 Mods in a few weeks then, they will be asking for signups soon. Lol

I hope we still have the ability to change the DNS settings on the new dash!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes you can still do this.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Are you on it? It is unlikely they will send it to me anytime soon!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Has anyone got it yet? I've not put my console on in a few days so don't know if I have yet.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Not me, i don't think many have been sent it yet, my registration still says Pending.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I think it says pending until you actually get the dashboard.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Battlefield Hardline heading to EA Access next month, glad i didn't buy it and held off, still wish it had split screen though!!!!

(Now Live) Xbox.com Now Lets You Listen to Voice Messages

You can now listen to voice messages through Xbox.com. Simply click on the voice message and it will play. It doesn't look like you can send voice messages, but you can now listen to them at your desktop.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Hopefully the app will be next.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Well i turned on the Xbox at midday and it looks like i have a 1156MBish update to do, i have to do it or i get to stay offline it says, so i am guessing this is the new dash, so i am hoping it doesn't break the TV integration and Elite Dangerous!

---------- Post added at 12:08 ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 ----------

Taking agesssssssssssss to update, just hoping it haven't rendered the Xbox useless!

---------- Post added at 12:40 ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 ----------

Well it is a disaster so far i can't sign in.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Damn, making me scared about turning mine on later. Might boot it up now if it takes that long to update it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Think it took about 20mins or so to update after it had downloaded.

Got signin to work by doing a hard reset(holding power button down for several seconds) then it signed in.

I will test the following again to see how it works the next time but for now.

What works
1. I needed to enter my wireless password after the update.
2. Elite Dangerous tested once and loaded and plays fine.
3. Call of Duty Advance Warfare loaded and played fine.
4. TV works the same as before no stutter.

What is NOT working
Having serious issues playing MKV content through the media player, it stutters like crazy but an MP4 movie played fine, and i can only try and watch those 2 as they're the only content appearing on Media player, will investigate further! Really not happy about this as it is a nail in the coffin if i can't get that to work on this update, not even sure if it is a known issue.

---------- Post added at 15:23 ---------- Previous post was at 13:32 ----------

Uninstalled and reinstalled the Media Player app, rebooted the TMS server and the SH2ac and it still doesn't work, it doesn't even see any folders now.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Put mine on this morning, but no update yet.

Which is fine as I have been playing a lot of Destiny lately.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The only thing bugging me is the TMS media server not working at all and when it did it couldn't play MKV with out a slowwww stutter, although it is working via USB stick.

Possibly a little judder on live TV but not 100% on that.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Actually thinking of restoring the old OS on my Xbox, too many problems!

Just had wireless not working and it told me to send the xbox in for repair! Got it working again after browsing for a fix.

As for TMS media player!!!! it is now saying i need to allow access to the folders, no idea how to do that as it looks like everything already has access, just rebooting the server and then i expect it still won't work or the MKVs still won't play.

I recommend anyone that is thinking of signing up for this to not do so at this stage and avoid like the plague.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Isn't the public roll out next month?

Surely they'll have to fix all these issues pretty quickly?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

If it is next month it will be a disaster, i hope it isn't for a long time.

I have managed to get some access to my media folders on the TMS server by messing with the server settings, not really sure what i did though, and i appear to be able to play a fair few MKV files smoothly but there is also loads that won't play and they all played fine before!

---------- Post added at 22:23 ---------- Previous post was at 22:19 ----------

Yes it is next month the roll out and i am shocked with the short time frame and all the problems, this maybe the Xbox One problems all over again just like when it was released.

http://news.xbox.com/2015/09/xbox-on...update-preview

---------- Post added at 22:24 ---------- Previous post was at 22:23 ----------

Never really used the One Guide on the old OS but i am loving how quickly and graphically it is to see what is on and flip through channels, this may make me look again at ditching regular TV.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I had to switch the language to US English :grind:

I also seem to have lost just shy of 20Gb of space since it installed. Is the updated OS REALLY that large?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Why did you have to switch to the US?

No idea how much space mine used up as i also have a 2TB external drive.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Menu was all gobbledygook, letters had been replaced with symbols.
Menu on the guide was partly cut off too when expanded.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The only menues for me with that gobbledygook was the sign in menu so I could live with that as I knew it would be fixed.

---------- Post added at 21:51 ---------- Previous post was at 21:49 ----------

Still annoyed with random MKVs not playing properly, if it wasn't for that I would be reasonably happy with the new dash.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The next batch of new dashboard previewers should be getting it sometime today.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yeah, I got it earlier.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Got my update today.

First impressionns are it looks so much better.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Are you guys able to test streaming several MKV files wireless from a network drive to see if you have the same issues as me?

---------- Post added at 17:45 ---------- Previous post was at 17:22 ----------

It actually looks like i got an update today too, and still have unusable MKVs while streaming wireless from a network drive, i guess this wont be at the top of their list to fix.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

That explains it, i think in the latest update most of the sign in text was ok this time.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Still no update for me :(

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Me neither :(

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have a work around for anyone with terrible stuttering when first playing some MKVs.

If this happens to you then just fast forward 30 seconds and it should play normally.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The Media Remote controls work now as well after the latest update, i am really enjoying it and glad i went for the update as i thought i would regret it.

Hows it for everyone else who has it?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just installing it (i think) as i am on the new dashboard and i have a (1) against queue but nothing appears in the queue window, guess it is a new dash issue.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It is verrrry slow for me. Not sure if its a NXOE issue or just a very popular title :)
at 6% after about an hour - most games would be ready by now.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

lol yes reboot

Playing it now got into a game in seconds.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

nope, back to 230 KB/s - lets reboot that damn Virgin box (:shocked:)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Try pausing and resuming the download.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

nothing helps. just going to have to suck it up. I think it's a NXOE wireless issue.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Try downloading something else to see if you can do that or delete and start again.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Currently D/L the beta and xbox reports usage is 4.5MB/s 15% after only about 10 mins I think.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Think ive figured it out. i was streaming to my win10 pc and i think that killed the wireless speed. Stopping that for now and ill hopefully see it speed up.

First impressions?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I enjoyed it, very quick to get into a game, but to be honest i am no expert in judging it as not played similar games other than COD. Need to play more for sure.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I am having a lot of fun with it and can't wait for the full game for the other maps and game types.

The graphics are simply stunning.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I am having great fun with the basic multiplayer part, not won a battle yet!!! not tried any other mode.

Will buy it for sure on the cheap digital because it is 1 of the rare games with split screen multiplayer!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Why is download on Microsoft so so so crap, I mean even my works 6Mb is faster downloading than M$.
