This is the first alpha that's really felt like one to me. Last night I ran into the following problems:
- Network tests showed me having 150+ Mbps. Battlefield 1 from EA Access was downloading at a snail's pace. Like 416 kB/s. A hard reset got me back to speeds in the 140+ Mbps.
- Clicking on the store link in the guide was just taking me to the home page.
- Pressing RT on the home page seemed to bring me to different sections below - once it was my pins, then it was the Games With Gold block.
- Could not report feedback until hard resetting the xbox.
- Well, that's not true, about an hour after trying to report feedback unsuccessfully, in the middle of a game of Injustice 2, the report a problem form popped up, seemingly massively delayed from when I tried ages ago.
- Had Injustice 2 crash on me twice, despite never doing that before.
- Had a prompt to update Groove Music, but clicking on update never triggered the update. After trying a few times, the pop up menu to update stayed on the screen but my dpad/analog sticks were controlling the navigation BEHIND the popup.
- The icon for pins wasn't showing up.
- The blocks that I had previously deleted (Games With Gold/Suggested Games/Game Pass) returned and editing them once again caused hard crashes to a black screen.
This morning it seemed considerably smoother, but I was still having some very weird download speed discrepancies when trying to update another app.
Looking forward to the next update, which will hopefully smooth out most of these bugs. I've probably reported 15-20 crashes/bugs/broken links through the system so far. Eep.
