you could disable those quite easily when watching videos.
this update sounds very nice indeed.
I've googled it and I cant believe there was the option to disable notifications.nMan, I feel stupid.

Updates were only really disruptive on the PS3. They took too damn long and you couldn't do anything while you waited, and even after the download you'd have another million years for an install or to actually process the update, and then the reboot, with more waiting. This was for firmware updates and game updates, and if you hadn't used the console in a couple of months you had to wait one evening's worth of playtime just to catch up on those updates.It amazes me how much has flipped since last generation. People used to lament monthly updates. Now some feel if we aren't getting updates every few weeks, companies are just fucking off.
It is for me as well.
I've got a friend in Titanfall and I tried to join him. I can join game, but not join party. So I assume he's not in a party, and instead I just send him a party invite. (not game, just party) He didn't get the invite, so he invites me, and I tell it to "join party and game." It brings me into the party, but not into the game. I see green circles next to both our names, but we can't hear eachother. After a minute or two, my party window tells me, "Try again later. Due to network limitations, you can't join party chat right now. (0x807d0106)"
I've been getting this every time I try to join or create a party. I've yet to successfully join a party since the March update. It went from confusingly complicated before the update, to 100% broken for me.

Now that things are more seamless and quick there's no reason not to push out more frequent, smaller updates, if they can be adequately tested. At least in this post-release period where some core functionality is still missing. Once things get more settled updates can be spaced out further apart.
You guys know if you change the location to the USA it works right? And has worked from launch. And you get games for US prices. It's a win-win
In settings, network check your NAT settings
I'm glad the friend notifications are back, but I really wish there is an option to turn off the notifications when I'm using certain apps, specially when I'm watching TV of usinig Netflix. In Xbox 360 it was really distracting when these notifications showed up while I was watching a movie - it actually covered up the subtitles and my family was always complaining about it.
It's true....I just find it humorous how people are now wanting monthly updates.
how can i get into the preview program?
So far, they're not opening registrations for this round.. They are taking people from the pool from the last program.
I really hope this update includes fixes for the headset adapter. That thing is a mess right now.
You guys are giving them credit for shit that should have been there in the first place. All they had to do was take the 360 OS and improve the speed and they couldn't even do that right. They get 0 credit from me. The X1 OS is awful.

I personally don't care about friend notifications but I know of that was wanted and good on ms to be on top of it. I do care about video recording quality. Surprised more people aren't psyched about that. That's the best news imo.
And goddamn Sony is so slowwwwwwwwwwww with updates. It took them half a year to get ps1 games on the vita and they had a working emulator on the vastly inferior psp hardware. Frustrating.
They need to add a notification when the batteries of the pad are almost empty or make the pad blink again like on 360. The shitty symbol they added doesnt help at all to prevent me from noticing my pad going to turn of soon.
Also the whole OS needs to be a lot faster and more responsive. The friend lists and switching between apps is so annoying to use because of the lag
DVR footage quality was already pretty great if you watched through Skydrive. It is good that they've improved it further, but it wasn't really all that bad to begin with.
It depends on the game though, in a fast moving one like Titanfall there can be many artifacts... it will always happen since more motion = more data, but any improvement on encoding is always welcome.
It's crazy how MS will have revamped the Game+App Library and Storage Management, Friends App, the Party System, and changed the way Notifications worked in less than 6 months.
Of course the way it worked at launch was bullshit, but still, it's impressive none-the-less.
I haven't seen any DVR captured TF footage yet. Is it really that bad? Any examples?
Firmware 1.62 said:Operation quality during use of some PlayStation®4 format software has been improved.
Sony's response via System Update 1.62:
No stability? Shame.
Can't post new thread, here seems good.

Game and app saves and updates. A game save progress bar will show you the status of your game saves. You will also be able to easily tell what games and apps are being updated or have been updated recently.
