You already get Achievements through BC...

I read somewhere you couldn't unlock achievements. Good news then! Thanks for the answer.

Has anyone tried streaming via vpn? That would be ideal for gaming on the go for games that aren't dependant on precise controls

I just tried this via my cell phones 4G hotspot connection and it didn't quite work. I got audio but no video. So the VPN works in theory but perhaps I need different circumstances. I'll try a faster connection or maybe lower stream settings over the 4G connection and see if I can get it to work.

New updates to the Xbox app through windows 10 preview.

Earlier this month, we made some big announcements at E3 about bringing two highly-anticipated features to Xbox One preview program members—Xbox One Backward Compatibility and game streaming from your Xbox One to a Windows 10 PC. Today, we’re sharing even more new Xbox on Windows 10 features launching in preview this month.

1506 xbox on windows - Updated

Xbox on Windows 10

First up, new features for the Xbox on Windows 10 app:
◾My Games – As you install games from the Windows Store, they will appear in your My Games list. Additionally, you can manually add games to your collection by selecting My games > Add a game from your PC. Also, there is now a Featured games section on the home screen, below your Recently played list.
◾Game hubs – You can now launch a local PC game from its game hub, view details about the game in the Windows Store, and find and follow People to Watch for a given game. Additionally, for Xbox One games, you can now choose Play from console to initiate a game streaming session from a game hub page.
◾Share with your friends – You can share your achievements to your Activity feed and Showcase just like you do on Xbox One. You can also share your Xbox One Game clips or Screenshots listed under Game DVR > Shared to your Activity Feed and Showcase.
◾Xbox avatars – We renamed the Avatars app on Windows 10 to Xbox Avatars and the layout and iconography have been updated to final designs. In this month’s preview, there is a “Take a photo” feature so you can pose your avatar and snap a photo.
◾Xbox account – In preview, you can sign in to Xbox on Windows 10 with any account, and create a new Xbox account if you do not already have one.

You will need Build 10158 of Windows 10 installed on your PC, then the Xbox on Windows 10 app should automatically update to the new preview version when it becomes available in the Windows Store. Once you receive the update, your version number should be 6.6.27004.00000 or higher. You can verify the version number of the Xbox on Windows 10 app under Settings.

Xbox One Preview

Please continue sending your feedback on the two amazing new features we launched in Xbox One preview earlier this month – Xbox One Backward Compatibility and game streaming. In addition, the team is continuing to test the Miracast functionality in the Wireless Display app and appreciates your patience while we iron out the kinks.

Stay tuned for more great Xbox features coming your way on Xbox One and Xbox on Windows 10. And don’t forget to let us know what you think at Xbox Feedback. For more information about the latest system update, check out Xbox Wire

Interesting. They are letting you launch non-Xbox pc games from the app.

Thanks for the reply...hopefully they can get it working in future updates

So you can put your steam games inside and use the function of xbox, record that! in those games?

Too bad that Xbox users still can't see you online if you're using the PC Xbox app.

[uncleniccius]

The latest patch was over 2GB!?

 

[muzzymate]

The latest patch was over 2GB!?

Your Xbox must have missed an update. They're typically in the 200MB range as a differential from version to version (A to B), but it will download the entire system (as 2GB) if it goes from A to C.

 

[The Flash]

You could do that in previous versions of the app. This mainly for convenience. Have all your games in one place kind of thing.

 

[Meowtor]

Sorry if this has been answered already but any updates on streaming party chat while you play? Kind of a killer when doing co-op and people can't hear other players with me while streaming..

 

[mohsinkhan]

My kinect has stopped turning on after this latest update, anyone else having this problem?

I had this problem a few monthly updates ago. I had to contact support for a replacement.

Looks like I will have to upgrade my build of Windows 10 and see if I can stream now. (I'm on the Slow track)

It's worked ok to good for me so far playing witcher 3 while my wife wanted to watch tv. I wouldn't use it for MP games yet at least on my setup.

Wait don't you need windows 10? isnt the release at the 29th?

There is a preview version of Windows 10.

I have been running it on my ASUS T100 tablet for the last few months.

I am just a couple of version behind. (MS has two update tracks. Slow and Fast) That determines how often you get updated. I am on the slow so my version of Win 10 doesn't work with the XBox one

Is your Xbox app up to date? My desktop is on the slow release channel and I've been streaming.

I was going by this

You will need Build 10158 of Windows 10 installed on your PC, then the Xbox on Windows 10 app should automatically update

My build ends in 30 IIRC (10130 ???? I am not at my tablet, so I don't remember the exact number)

I know I tried the "Test Stream" and my XBox one said I started streaming, but my tablet just timed out

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Wonder if we'll see any new features get put in before the NXE? Or just expect it in a month or two to start testing?

Major said on reddit that no new features because the team is busy working on the new dashboard, so I would say no, we will not see anything between now and the new dashboard.

The test stream didn't work on my tablet (fast build) but streaming works okay. I didn't try the test on my desktop, but I've been streaming TW3 to it while the TV is in use and it's been working great for the last week. My desktop is on 10130.

edit: I guess it might be possible that having the fast build on my tablet triggered a later version of the xbox app to be associated with my account which then downloaded on my slow build machine. I'd still give it a try though.

 

[Larogue]

Where is the windows 10 on xbox update?

Windows 10 is out in less than 3 weeks, and we haven't a single Windows 10 feature on Preview build let alone the live build.

Thanks for the info.

Either way I will bump up a version and I should be good to go

At E3, they said fall this year for the Windows 10 update so maybe we see it in the Preview Program in August.

If you are talking about the OS. I am sure they would rather deal with one set of change at a time.

They just updated the XBox One to stream to Win 10

The Win 10 XBox one version I imagine will be along later in summer/fall

 

[etta]

So is it just me or does the OS feel like it lags less after that latest update?

I believe as of early this week slow ring was updated to 10162, which is the same as the fast ring at this point. Might want to check Windows Update.

Wonder if we'll see any new features get put in before the NXE? Or just expect it in a month or two to start testing?

I doubt it. Hoping they do the NXE for multiple months in preview so we get the first wave of it in the next month or two...

Gamescom: New dashboard available now for preview! BELIEVE.

 

[etta]

So, not sure if this has been asked, but do preview builds affect game performance at all?

I've never noticed a difference. The UI does get sluggish sometimes with new build but usually get s better by public release.

 

[Bsigg12]

The first update of the August preview will be available to all Preview members beginning at 6PM on 7/15. This initial update contains minor non-user facing changes.

This is as good a place as any to ask this I guess:

I just got an external, and it won't let me move my (disc-based) GTA V install over because it's not finished installing. I installed it fully at the time, but did delete the 14gb of reserved space it had.

If I select "Finish installing," it quickly goes to 100% with an "update." That's without using the disc.

What's up with that?
