Xbox One June Preview Update - My Real Name is External Storage
- Thread starter The Flash
- Start date
Cross-referencing my post on Reddit if I get an answer there. Why do we now have a limit on the number of Pins we can show?
Only two more games can get pinned and then I lose out

Auto sign in works the same way as it did on 360?
New Store looks nice too, gives them ample room to start promoting new content that's on the store.

Gonna buy an external drive for my XBOne. My body is ready.

Pretty sure it's first and last on PS4, so I assume it's the same here.

There has always been a pin limit.
It may have been slightly more than 24 before though, I'll double check.
Edit- It used to be 36 pins maximum back in March, so they have decreased the pin limit.

Update was rather slow for me and the storefront was still the old design till I power cycled once. The actual stores are still the same old design, it's just the store tab that is updated with a new design.
Edit:
CoD Ghost now shows up twice in ny games list. And wasn't Xbox fitness under apps in the previous dashboard version?.

Updating now.
Yeah it didn't take long to find.
Zoo Tycoon showing in my library is still there, wonder when that one will get addressed.

Music to my ears. Thanks.
Now all that's left is a complete overhaul of the UI/start dash and we're back to on course.

As far as I know there is only one solution for that, it's not a good one though.
Restore factory settings, I'm sure one of my friends sorted his out by doing that.
Factory reset does delete everything from you xbox so you have to redownload and reinstall stuff. All your saves are in the cloud though.

For those of your that don't have it just go to Settings--->System----> Bottom left option to pull update.
Also the auto sign in didn't work for me until I went to Settings--->sign-in & security, to turn off Kinect sign in.

Ultra Xbox One is looking hype! Liking the new store. The current one is a freaking mess.

DO these previews lock you out of playing multiplayer with people not in the preview still? I'm fairly certain I had issues with that on the 360, where my brother didn't have the preview and we couldn't play online together.

It's still a mess they just changed it from three column view on dash to the picture. Once you pic games, movies etc the same stores open.

Only two ever have. Both due to party chat (on X360 added it, on XONE changed it).

Tried that, didn't work. Thanks

I think putting categories vertical list first would break the transition between the home and store tiles. It also keeps in line with the 'snap list on right' style the OS uses.
Haven't check my XB1 yet (I'n based in the UK) but I did get the email regarding the update a few days ago.
Really, that's interesting. Will be picking up at least a 2TB external in the next month so this is good news, look forward to seeing your results.

What good is a manual update button if it doesn't let you manually update?
It goes when you're under the pin limit

Ok I'm going to test the following games.
I will uninstall them all then re-install to the internal drive and time it. Once done I will load up a specific part of the game and also time the loading screen. After I've done them all I'll uninstall from the internal then select the external as the priority HDD and repeat the above.
So far I've done FIFA and starting the game up from the external did seem quite abit quicker going through the menus. I wouldn't say super fast but maybe a good 4-5 seconds knocked off on a fresh startup of the game to the main menu.
I won't bother with the videos since its too much messing around so I'll just copy the results here instead. If people do want video I will do it only if they aren't happy with the numbers I show.
- Assassins Creed IV
- Ryse
- Call of Duty: Ghosts
- FIFA 14
- MGS: Ground Zeroes
- Battlefield 4
- Dead Rising 3

Hope you post some measured times with your stop watch then.

Still no update here. They sure do slow roll these things out.
Probably best they do then if there's a problem at least it's only a certain number of machines affected rather than all of them.

Hard drives tend to get slower the fuller they get. Was your internal drive nearly full?

Ok here is FIFA and MGS:GZ. I did these first due to being 10GB titles. Next games will be the ones which are 30-45GB in size and will take longer to install. I'm more interested to see how the likes of Ryse, BF4 and AC4 do with being larger sizes when it comes to loading the levels.
This is the HDD I'm testing but this is for work so won't be keeping it for the XB1. http://www.ebuyer.com/339426-hgst-4tb-touro-dx3-desktop-hard-drive-0s03400
I will be buying a Western Digital My Book so I may do new tests later in the week.

I've emptied it so both drives have nothing on them.
