Xbox inviting Xbox Members to test out the March Update (don't beg for invites)
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
I got that last afternoon but have yet to get the update...
Make sure you're in Instant On mode and shut your system off for 15-20 minutes if possible. Also, the powerbrick will go yellow And you'll have to use the controller or tap the system when the update is ready.

I pre-ordered it from Microsoft Store, apparently they shipped a few early.
Unfortunately it doesn't work until the update tho, so it's just tempting me =\

Wait you can update the joysticks separately from the overall update? How do I initiate that?

I got my code last night; got accepted this morning and got my console to update this afternoon after a bunch of reboots

You need to have the Xbox set as your home console. It worked as soon as I set that and powered down.
I otherwise have a brother's Xbox as my home, and his mine, so we can pool libraries.
I did not see any broadcasts from the store when I looked. Where are they at? In each game's page?
Same as the others but yea it sucks. It even had something in the terms of service that I actually read.
The "number of friends broadcasting" and "xp favorites online" is actually very smart. I also noticed that they moved the profile settings that used to be at the top when you went to friends to the system settings. Nice refinements all around.

I got the update when I got home about an hour ago. I received my message to register yesterday morning. So for me it was a little over 30 hours or so from completing my registration and the system updating.

How long does it take after you're referred to receive? So you get an email or message on Xbox live? Think someone already sent me a request but, I haven't received anything yet.

I just clicked forza 5 like to the point where you would buy it. Scrolled right and it said "broadcast" around the same area it normally shows game clips, images, etc
it's to the right, where the gameclips, leaderboards, etc are

Just checked and it's no longer on there. Buddy has zero watchers. I clicked on it and it showed his kinect and forza 5. I'll look for another

Yeah a new build is rolling out.
Fixes
Fix for sign-in failing that requires system restart. (Glad about this one, has been REALLY annoying me)
IE and Bing not launching in non-English locales
Controller firmware not updating with chat headset plugged in
Messages are too easy to delete by accident since the Delete button is highlighted by default when opening a message (instead of Close button)
A new update is going to start rolling out. There are a few fixes in this build, including some for issues discovered by the update preview community:

I gotta say I'm so used to going into my friends list to view my achievements because of the last three months that the new layout confuses me for a moment. I still go into my friends area to find them lol
Why don't you just pin them so that it is essentially the same button presses as on 360? Guide button -> LB -> A.
Or better yet just say Xbox go to achievements.

I do have them pinned I just often forget about my pins as well. Just a habit I made since I got it and now I'm adjusting

Hopefully soon. With these mini updates coming in during the beta I'm hopeful they will open it up....... So we can test it of course
When the updated Twitch app comes out on the 11th.

Hmm, I think that's it then... I'm in the same scenario with crossed home consoles.
I tried to refer my brother, but from all the invites I asked he's the only one who hasn't gone through yet. Do you know if he gets accepted and register his console if we'll be able to update or no other option other than switching back?
(I'm afraid to switch my home console because apparently there's a limit per year on the number of switches you are allowed to make)
