Support NeoGAF

[Naminator]

I hope Digital Foundry does some tests to see if there were any performance updates that were rumored, I'm interested in seeing if there is actually any meaningful effect on the framerate.

 

[WordsintheWater]

I didn't notice a difference in Titanfall, but putting in Dead Rising 3 to see if I can tell anything

I shouldn't work like that. I imagine developers will have to update the game themselves to take advantage of any additional power.

 

[Xcell Miguel]

Gahhh, how can I force this update? Already restarted my console countless times XD

Put it in sleep mode and wait, just wait, until it wake up by itself to turn off. Then turn it on and it will finish the install

 

[SEGAvangelist]

My eyes. They see it.

In the pics it looks like the black crush effect is gone. this true?

Miguel if you don't mind and have it installed, can we get a KI screenshot?

I wonder if it could be too bright now.

Dead Rising looks so much better from those pics. Be interested to see Killer Instinct as well. ^_^

I did that, already had mine on sleep mode, and I'm switching back and forth between power saver and that, but once I power it off, it never starts downloading...

I wonder if it could be too bright now.

Nope, I set the console in DVI to avoid it, I tried HDMI and it's not fixed.

I'll do some KI screenshots.

 

[RoKKeR]

Wait, can somebody explain to me why Dead Rising 3 looks differently? What changed?

 

[WordsintheWater]

I dunno guys doesn't look any different to me, maybe I just don't remember how bad it looked. Haven't played my Xbox One for a month.

Limited or Full Range? Full Range is broken on the console and crushes black for me.

When upscaled from 720p, the console used to apply a "sharpen" filter-- I think Microsoft thought it would compensate for the lack of true 1080p. The sharpen filter didn't actually work and made all games that used it (and were sub-1080p) look super terrible.

 

[derFeef]

Na it's still crushed, just look at the dark spots everywhere :/

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

what the hell, why hasn't the update shown itself yet 0_o

i wanna delete all these games i have installed

me too

edit: lol yay, I have it now!

Na it's still crushed, just look at the dark spots everywhere :/

dang, I was hoping that was fixed

 

[G_Berry]

Come on Xbox I need this update!!!!

 

[Caayn]

This is lies. You could play stuff like Rock Band with it, but it utterly destroys an awful lot of faster games.

Of course it's not something you're going to use for competitions. For me it's perfect. I don't notice the added latency and it saves a HDMI port on my TV.

 

[Xcell Miguel]

Full Range, it's not crushed in DVI mode here.

Think you are being kind with "super terrible"

Glad it's gone anyway

 

[WordsintheWater]

There's definitely still black crush in the games, Dead Rising 3 doesn't look different to me. I really don't think they fixed it yet.

Sharpening filter has been removed.

Oh they removed it? Damn, interesting. So this will have an effect on all sub-1080p games? Titanfall Beta? AC4?

Interesting!

 

[VE3TRO]

Still no update working for me.

Limited or Full Range? Full Range is broken on the console and crushes black for me.

For me it seems these are the options I could use. I wonder if Microsoft just offered Full Range for the TVs which cant set Low Blacks. My parents LCD doesn't have the option but when using Full Range on XB1 games look great otherwise it would look washed out grays.

• Limited on Xbox - Low Level Black on LED = Perfect Picture
• Full Range on Xbox - Normal Level Black on LED = Perfect Picture
• Full Range on Xbox - Low Level Black on LED = Crushed Blacks

 

[Whipped Spartan]

Can we force it like on X360?

 

[Y2Kev]

Interesting!

Some developers developed a custom scaling algorithm to get around it. Ryse had its own. I wonder, honestly, if it used some of the GPU power of the console (a limited percentage but still a percentage). Microsoft is probably trying to free up resources as much as possible so I imagine that aside from the fact that they absolutely had to fix this because it was BUSTED, it is a nice little boost to the dev community.

 

[ParityBit]

No update for me yet.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Yea, I'm gonna stick with it hasn't been fixed yet. I still don't see the differences other posters have seen. Maybe I am wrong and hopefully I am, but it looks the exact same to me and for them to not even mention it in the patch notes is curious as well.

 

[Lima]

Can we force it like on X360?

No you can't.

There is no way to force the update. Just wait.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Full Range, it's not crushed in DVI mode here.

Try limited and see if it's still crushed.

With HDMI that is.

Still no update working for me.

My TV supports full range but automatically changes the black levels based on the signal. The XB1 set to full range won't work correctly, though, so I have to set it to limited to work correctly. PS3 and PS4 both work fine in full range.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I hope we get XB1 controller support on PC with the March update.

It is

 

[Penguins&PolarBears]

Ugh I really do not like them forcing me to see how much free space I have. I don't want to think about that stuff when I play video games. I'm okay with them letting micro managers drill down into that stuff, but I'd prefer to never think about available space. Too much AV nerd info. Give me a way to hide that info please.

I like the separation of apps games and queue though.


I would much rather they use that space to highlight achievements and challenges; you know something fun instead of managing storage space which is no longer necessary for most people.

 

[dlynch343]

Any tips on how to force the update.. turned on and off a few times and nothing

 

[StalkerUKCG]

I hope we get XB1 controller support on PC with the March update.

ntkrnl said it was coming with an adapater but didnt have a date.

I'm scared to see how much space I have left. LOL

Killer Instinct :

That cant be true - you just need a USB cable

 

[Doodis]

Does anyone have two controllers on at once? Just wondering if you get a battery indication for both. I suppose I'll find out later tonight when I get home.

 

[LittleJohnny]

I haven't gotten mine

Anyone know what the OS version number is for this update?

 

[derFeef]

Thanks for the shots. Actually I am not sure on KI - need to see it on my TV.

 

[Fried Food]

got the update. Left the console off and bam

 

[PAULINK]

Titanfall Beta is down, presumably because of this update right? BOO

 

[GavinGT]

That cant be true - you just need a USB cable

I bet the wired drivers come at the same time as the wireless ones.

Yep. It was incredibly silly for them not to.

Still, should be 3 rows deep. More rows please MS. In every app.

Small change but a huge difference. Was really annoying before.

How do you get the update to trigger?

 

[Backfoggen]

Console is off in instant-on mode for over an hour now. Cmon update.
