Well this has been happening for weeks now, and it will sync after a couple of goes (I'll usually pop out the battery pack and try again)

Its driving me insane and hooking it via the cable isnt helping.

With regards the hard reset, will that do any form of damage? I.e. deletion of saves etc.

by hard reset, what we mean is to power off the xbox completely by holding down the power button until the console shuts off. - I usually plug mine out of the wall for a few minutes. This wont affect any saves etc.

Normally this would be true, but a game recently managed to screw this up, can't remember which one. Wasn't a major game, but it required you to actually quit out of the game in order for the save to work properly, rather than just leaving it on the main screen.

was that "so many me"?

Yeah, i suppose a precaution would be to close all games running first, but the one you mentioned is really the exception to the rule.

Pretty sure that was So Many Me.

Yeah, it was. Knew it was recent enough, but couldn't remember for the life of me. I've heard a few reports of it screwing up some Forza saves as well, but yeah, the vast majority of times, it won't have any effect at all.

One thing that annoys me about the new consoles, it that it can be kind of difficult to know when your game actually saves. There something kind of reassuring about opening a menu, selecting "save game" etc before you finish up for the night. The days of having seperate save slots seems to be dying out too, which is a shame for games with branching paths.

Forza and Sunset overdrive are two that immediately spring to mind, dying light the same.

Is anyone having problems with their controller?

I switch mine on say, and it will blink about 10 or 12 times, then shut off, never connecting. Then I might press it again and it will connect.

Its really annoying

Cold boot the console, plug in the controller and update it, then resync it.

Lads does anyone know where the 'record that' feature has disappeared to? I'm on the latest preview dashboard and when I double click the Xbox button the option isn't there anymore.

Does it happen on one specific game or a few? Are you online?

I've only been playing Rory McIlroy lately I will try another game now and see if its still the same.

Tried a couple of games with no luck. I'm connected to live constantly.

EDIT:

Broadcasts and game captures were disabled in preferences. Idiot

Ha, I didn't know there was such an option. Glad you got it back. PGA has some save-worthy moments in it. Here's a better site to share your saves than the Xbox page: http://xboxdvr.com/

I find that site very laggy. The clips are always buffering.

You can also download the YouTube app and upload your clips directly from that.

So question for people about the windows 10 game streaming.

So just say my xbox one is at home on my Wifi network with a game in its drive is it posable to use my Surface Pro 2 on a different network to stream the game ?.

Both networks are Fibre with crazy good upload speeds.

You can, but it's not supported natively. You've got to do a fair bit of work on your routers to do it, and I don't have the details to hand, but you should be able to find it online.

I'm using the wireless display preview and for the last two days the xbox has not shown up as a listed device when I try to project to it from my pc.

Was all working fine, have reset XBOX and also rebooted laptop and router but still no joy.

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm back playing Titanfall again and loving it. I think it's a shame the way its almost been forgotten about and for me its still easily the best competitive shooter on the current gen. The new ranking system they've added gives and extra incentive to play and with all the DLC now free and their horde mode, there's so much to play.

I still have it installed and have often thought about firing it up again but always drift to something else. I can't really explain why.

Maybe it's just me but I think there's way to many platform style games on the xb1

Bought this in the sale last Christmas, and only started playing it about a month ago, and I'm completely hooked. I never play shooters.. I think this is the first one I've actually owned, but with this you can just pick up and play. Couldn't recommend it highly enough for al those not into FPS.

I could never get into titanfall albeit the 360 version. Never understood what exactly was going on. Much rather Halo 4 or other shooters.

In fairness, it's mainly indie developers making them, so it's not as if they're cutting into the budgets of larger games. As it is, if a game is good enough, then I'll support it by buying it.

I had this problem with my phone and I just turned off the wifi on the phone and then turned it back on and it worked.

For anyone who needs a bit of extra storage, I picked up a SEAGATE EXPANSION 3TB DE from Argos yesterday, €105, catalogue number 143/4716.

Have previously been using the 1TB Portable version of the same, no problems.
