let me check what my system shows.

*edit* installed game work, ready to install list shows no BC games for me right now.

Yeah, that's exactly what I have.

By the way, how are Microsoft handling 360 games on disc? Can I download them once into my One and forget about it?
 
Download/Install of games seems to be much better. My system downloaded & installed SW:Battlefront & Tomb Raider 1 within 20-25 minutes (gigabit internet). I still am having lag issues though. My system is SO slow. I guess I'll try hard reseting it tonight.

A few of my apps and 2 games, The Elder Scrolls Online and Borderlands were somehow installed on both my internal and external drives.
Had to delete one copy of each to free up the space.

And the My Games and Apps section is slow and buggy, freezes for a few seconds often.
Testing out the store, that seems to freeze and pause often too.

Has MS mentioned if they intend to change the UI in "my games" app?
That and GamesDVR definitely need a new look and better speed.

I sold the game a while ago. I thought it was only free if you had played on Xbox Live the first week after release. Same with 2 and 3.

Anyone who played or plays Gears Ultimate Edition while connected to Live before December 31st (I think that was the cut-off date, anyway) will get the 360 Gears games for free via BC. They said recently that those keys would start going out to people at the beginning of December.

It's still used, just not for gestures. I still use it for switching on TV, controlling volume, swapping channels etc.

Which reminds me it should be possible to start voting in the xbox uservoice for the return of gestures . :p (all previous topics had been filtered out until now since comments on preview software aren't allowed in uservoice, apparently)

  • "External storage ready" popping up every time you hard reset is kinda annoying.
  • Can't use hamburger button to get to settings.
  • Can't hide games/apps now.

Besides that, looks pretty good so far.
 
I still wish pressing on the xbox logo button ONCE (when in game) would bring up that left quick menu. Pressing twice is annoying and doesnt always work the first time. Im consistently going back to the dash when all i wanna do is open that left menu. I dont understand why they left it this way.

I reported all those things during the beta

and this

I was hoping the controller mapping app would give us an option to change it. maybe in the future.

Is it out in Canadaland yet?
Do we have to download anything as preview members, or did we already have the final build?

External storage ready, apparently always was there we only see it now because of the speed of this dash apparently. Can't hide games isn't in it yet will come shortly

As much as I love most of the new dash the fact that no effort was put into the games library section is a shame. Seems there must be a better way to scroll through 3 tb worth of installed games..
 
I like that Kinect is officially dead

LOL.

Its not dead at all,voice commands work great.
Last i heard they were still making games for it so its being supported.

The UI is better but I experienced some nasty ass lag with the espn app.
Would go to a sports highlite,freeze, play,go to the next sports section,freeze,play,etc.

Its definitely allot faster but lag is still there in places.

I wish the PGR series were on the compatibility list. Cause those were amazing racers plus other games I use to play allot on the 360 I have on Steam now so the current list could be better. So PGR would be so sweet to have right now. Hoping the Halo series all get thrown on the list too,i haven't yet bought the MCC cause I'm waiting for them to drop to $20.00 on a possible Black Friday deal. If not then backward compatibility with those games would be good to have.

Not dead. Still really useful for voice commands and auto sign-in (like Windows Hello on Windows 10) and Cortana in the near future. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a more compact camera advertised towards those features in the future.

Has the speed at which things load been improved?
Yup. It's the best part of the update. Which is good because I snap my friends list in halo 5 because it provides more information than that shitty roster they have.





However new dash did lose one key functionality. You can't see who else is in your friends party.

Has anyone noticed that games played in which you've earned 0 GS are showing up in the achievements list? They never did before. Maybe they will dissappear once it launches for everyone.

You and me both. The side menu/guide is infinitely more preferable than going to the home screen 99% of the time.

My NeoGAF friends don't even know how to get to the side menu/guide while in game... -_-

Why does he wear the mask!?
weird, i havent been prompted to download it? its 5PM here

EDIT - nevermind, did it via settings
 
Anyone able to screenshot? Double tapping the xbox button keeps pausing tomb raider and then opening up my friends list.

Its hard to see sometimes, depending on what you have on screen, but there is small text in the top left portion of your screen when you open up the guide that says press X to record game slipt and Press Y to save screenshot.

I want a better method. I NEED a better method actually.

Weird there's no text for me :/

The screenshot is taken instantly, before the pause screen comes up. Then just press Y to save.

Nothing comes up saying screenshot has been saved. I go into game DVR and there's no screenshots either.

Actually, sometimes it disappears for me in Preview. Seems like there are a lot of people in this thread now that aren't in the Preview Program w/ Preview builds of NXOE? Anyway, when the screenshot stuff does show up in the UI of the guide, the text is bold white and the button icons are bold colored - it's no longer dim like it was earlier in the Preview. It would be hard to miss it now because of a dark screen.

I don't know how to trigger the disappearing screenshot UI and functionality - but it happens at inopportune times for me, for sure.
