The New Xbox One Experience Beta |OT| Beta tested in the future
- Thread starter etta

Yeah, there is a fair bit of lag on it for me.
Thanks,it's not just me then
Yup. First time it's really laggy. Maybe they should gather the needed data on bootup to make it faster. As of now it feels really sluggish.
Yep this has been a good 3-4 seconds for the last few releases for me, pretty sure it was fairly quick in the early builds though, for me this section is key to the NXOE being intuitive and accessible.

Can't access the Nuketown or Giant Zombie maps. Seems to be a NXOE issue.
Anyone get them to work or able to join a public zombies game?

yes when loading the friends list or apps list, both of those pause the system for a few seconds it's annoying.
Trying to scroll down to the settings tab results in ignored inputs while these load it feels sloppy.

Doesn't work because Spotify requires Flash.
There's a headset volume slider in the Settings tab of the Xbox Guide.

I saw the video about the new avatar stuff, but that is not yet in preview right?
It is in the preview.

I don't have the preview.
Did anyone find a toggle for switching the function of a single vs. double xbox button press?
I want to open the lefthand guide with a single press, and go to the dashboard with a double press

How do i get there?
Also...after the update of today....my NAT is strict again, it changed the IP address. Why does that happen?

Don't know about the IP stuff, but try this:
Go to test multiplayer connection; let it check; when it's done press LB + RB + LT + RT; let it do a new check and it may change from strict to open.
When it boot as moderated here it doesn't work (recquiring me to reboot). But when it boots at strict, usually these steps make it change to open.

I *feel* like it's gotten a little faster over the last 10 or so builds, could be my imagination though.
Would love for it to be instant.

My biggest complaint with the new UI is...where are my games? Why isn't access to my games library on the main page, it makes no sense at all.
First opening is slow. But after that it's pretty fast. Needs pre fetching if that is possible to do.
Uh hit RT and it goes straight down to your games or just scroll down. It told you this the first time you booted up the UI or watched the hints video on the main page.
RT on the home tab drops you straight to the my games and apps tile.

Yep and a friend had to tell me that too. It's bizarrely placed and requires that knowledge to find it. Should be front and center.

I wish they had a solution for apps and the Media Remote. The Channel buttons switch the different tabs (Home, Community, etc. ). There is no RT button on the Media Remote.
Ugh! Why can't you get to it from the Guide menu? So annoying.
And that's why the new UI sucks. Games and achievements, the two things that defined Xbox are hidden, slow and ugly.

It's been like this long before this little beta. Since day one.
After having spent a lot of time with this beta, I don't care for it all that much. I don't see think it does much for the console. As someone else stated, the two things that define (or used to define) Xbox are shoved down to the bottom of a screen. It just feels cluttered. Maybe next year they can get it right. Only thing I really think they did well was the side menu. That's great for easy and quick inviting and opening. Other than that, still feels clunky and dated to me.

So you have the knowledge now. Problem solved.

I would respectfully disagree. It wouldn't look that way from browsing GAF, but many people have had bricked consoles ever since around the 31st. Far more have games and apps crashing regularly and need to power cycle several times a day. We might be the minority, but let's just say 5% of all users experience this issue. That's still a huge number of people with broken consoles. Roughly 625,000 extremely pissed off customers. They probably haven't even sold that many consoles in Japan. I think they need to push the date back.
I'm not commenting on how well it works. I've been told the 'gold' (final) build goes out on Monday or Tuesday. I'm just saying we're well past beta here - we're in the final few bug fixes, the feature locked release candidate stage.

I know you've been reading a lot of good things about it, but if you're a preview member and have access to the forums about the preview programs, you'll see that many people have had console breaking issues as a result of the NXOE. If I were you, I'd just wait for the 12th. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't even take the risk.
I get what you're saying. But what I'm saying is that it's still a beta grade product, at least from my experience. I also wasn't trying to discredit you or your comment in any way, I just want to point out to lurkers and even Microsoft employees that are potentially reading this thread that it's not all good at the moment.

I'm glad to hear things have been working for you, and that you've recovered from a bicked console. I'm getting there myself. My console is a lot more stable, but hardly reliable. I think the longest gaming session I can swing is an hour.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Yes, there is about a 4 second delay before it does anything on mine too.

Been using this trrick for a long time now, otherwise there was no way to get the NAT open, simply because my ISP does not support a certain port number. But according to a friend of mine...this isn/t truly making the NAT opening up...but i doubt that.
New problem...Twitch needs an 15MB update, but it just can't seem to update it.
I had issues with twitch after the update, I had to delete it entirely and redownload

it was merged with gamedvr or upload studio or something wasn't it?
I can't seem to find those exact things anywhere.

Just downloaded the new build. Hitting left on the d-pad to bring up the menu is significantly less sluggish.
