Hello. Could you guys give us a better way to switch between 50Hz and 60Hz, so that it isn't a choice between judder in games or with TV? That would be lovely.

Once it is fixed you won't need to switch as the TV itself is 60hz.

It's been no longer then a couple hours with the new update but seeing the old "my games & apps" section already feels old and empty.

Really like the new look of it. Kudos.

Edit:
Albert one question. Does this have anything to do with the 8% GPU reservation rumor?

I was a bit skeptical about the scaler upgrade so I checked Tomb Raider DE and AC Black Flag, and yes, it is indeed better; nice visual improvements, worth the update.

Great update.

Anyone notice frame rate improvements? I wondered if the scaler could have affected it on some games such as DR3/AC4.

Europe here. Just updated. Got the update running by switching to Instant-on, then shutting down the console and just waiting. After 5-10 minutes the update started. Dashboard feels much more responsive now and Skype turned on a lot faster than earlier. Don't have time to play anything so can't comment on the sharpening filter thingy. Also, dat controller battery indicator. B)

two questions

1) For those that say it looks better, are you comparing before and after full RGB or limited? Hopefully full b/c before it was crushed.

2) how do you remove a tile from the main default screen? For example, the tile underneath the large window which show you the game you're playing. Right now I have a can't install forza message with a !! and it's so annoying need to get rid of it.

I'm in the UK, and I think I just got it now. Powered off and got the flashing light, going to power up now to check.

edit: Or maybe not. No update yet, but got a flashing logo when I powered it off again, but only for 20s or so...

1. Full before and full after the update.
2. You can't edit the tiles on your "Home" screen. You can only edit the tiles on the "Pins" screen.
Windows 8 like customization would be very welcome for these screens.

It's the whole update as opposed to the latest patch only, I think.

I'd rather wait then resort to this. Sounds dangerous lol.

I'm just doing mine now, I think it only pulls across the files it needs anyway.

I did it earlier but was using the old file, so it went through the same process but didn't update anything

This seems like a really silly update method where they or the system decide when to update as opposed to offering you the choice. Has anyone figured out a way to force it, or just how/when it updates in general?

The issue he has, I believe, is that the TV signal in Europe is 50hz while games are 60hz. If you force 50hz, games stutter, if you force 60hz, TV stutters. At least that's how I understood the whole thing. I doubt they'll ever be able to fix that for us Europeans.

thanks. So there is no way to remove this warning tile for a game I no longer have (forza)?

The TVs are all 60hz now, it's just that normally if they take in a 50hz signal they do the correct conversion so they don't judder.

The Xbox only outputs 60hz, but when it is receiving a 50hz signal it isn't converting it correctly, then is passing it through to the TV in a total juddery mess.



In other news the manual update when fine. The cold boot is super fast and I can straight away feel moving between apps is smoother
