Xbox One February update is rolling out

Consider it passed!

If you're going to do it, can we get it as "Xbox, take screenshot" and get Soho Productions (I think they did Upload Studio?) to have it so you can take a screenshot whilst you're looking at/editing a video? Press a button - I assume theres one spare in US but can't think off the top of my head, and it'll take a screenshot.

If you could pass that on too, that would be great.

Looking forward to what you guys have lined up in the future.

This is probably all obvious to you guys but heres a list of things I want:

  • Auto-sign in without Kinect
  • Store being fleshed out like it was at the reveal in May, the screen inside games store tab is a bit of a mess, I thought the 360 did this quite well but separate sections for each
  • Achievements pop offline
  • Pins usable offline
  • Favourite friends pop up when they're online
  • Themes - i've seen some people say it will never happen or whatever, I REALLY hope you guys aren't going to leave a black screen as the background for the generation, even if its just a windows style wallpaper option, just something less dark and boring please.

You need an NTFS formatted usb stick and just drop the $systemupdate folder onto that USB

power down your machine fully
unplug the power for 30 seconds
plug in USB to Xbox
hold bind+eject and press the power button

keep holding bind and eject
you'll hear a beep (not the eject button) and keep holding and you'll hear a second beep

by this point you will see green bars installing stuff on the screen. Just sit and wait


You may have a nail biting wait on a green screen, don't panic, leave it and it should be fine.

i reformatted again to NTSF and this time it worked. thanks

F waiting for this xbox to download - it was NEVER happening.

Has anyone in New York received it yet?

Central jersey here and I got it. We were out for a few hours, so not sure when it came in.

Really disturbing that it seems like the system is just broken when it doesn't respond to Xbox On after downloading an update....
 
Finally got the update. The no sharpening is indeed immediately noticeable, and I think Kinect gestures work a lot better now.

I'm kinda disappointed with the apps/dash performance, though... It load things faster, but still is really bad. The upload app remains so terribly unusable.

Also I noticed that some clips I had uploaded somewhat got corrupted and now are only 1 sec clips... not sure if it happened after the update...
 
Not got it here in England :( Turned my console off a few times, want to play around with it before bed but not looking likely now. It is 4.15am though...!

Got the update in Miami Beach, FL. However, I noticed that some of my apps are listed under games. Going to try to uninstall them and redownload them to see if this fixes it

Can you see if the list on the right in the games library section is only for demos?

Yea i am wondering if that is only for demos. I think so, see any full games that are uninstalled there?

I suppose the lists are titles you downloaded once before and were added to your history. Doesn't matter if they are games, demos or stuff like the kinect games hub.
 
Got it going in San Francisco. Just took turning on my XB1, then turning it off ... after about 5 minutes I saw the glow, turned it back on, and now see the green bar.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Finally got the update(Sydney, Australia)

But now my OCD is shot to shit.....some of my Apps show up as games, I am dying.
I uninstalled some of the apps i dont use just because its getting to me too much.
Youtube counted as a game but wasnt installed for some reason, when i reinstalled, it moved to the Apps section.

Might end up uninstalling and reinstalling all the Apps just because of this.

Damn you Microsoft, I love you, But damn you!

hmmm...looks like other people in Norcal/SF bay area have it...still no luck for me. Whats the deal

I am on the Central Coast in Cali and I got the update about 2 hours ago. I did a complete shut down, then rebooted and set up the sleep mode or whatever it is called. Waited for a bit, said "Xbox Turn Off", then waited a few more minutes. When I said "Xbox On" it started the update.

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
Alright, got it now. Now a double whammy of Titanfall working again would be amazing, so I hope that's up.

Gotta say I'm nonplussed about the delivery method for this update. I don't like a guessing game like this and it feels so hit and miss. 10pm and my box has been in standby all day, nothing.
