    Done. Just a note to all that have asked for an invite over the last few days, just because you have been invited to join the preview does not mean you will get in on the first invite, if you don't get a msg with in two days. Just post again saying whom invited you so we can send you another invite... Also if you are invited on a Thursday you may not get the msg till Tuesday.
    Just a heads up.

    Thanks for that. Just to provide some feedback, I haven't had my xbox on in a few days, but I got a "welcome to the program" message this morning on the Smartglass app, so once I open that on the console I think I'm in.

    I've installed Windows 10 on my main machine, it's been stable enough so far.

    I've been trying out the new Xbox App, and so far I'm pretty impressed with it. Fairly clean and seems to be useful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,388 ✭✭✭Eire Go Brach


    Does it have to be a clean install of windows 10?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71

    No use VM ware or Virtual Box or dual ... in my case quad boot.

    Unless you are willing to take a risk and install it on top of whatever you've got.

    I wouldn't recommend it unless you've got complete faith in your IT skills. At least that way you can recover if everything goes sideways.

    The Xbox app, while interesting, is also fairly limited at the moment, as it doesn't have the game DVR feature, nor the streaming from Xbox.

    Unless you're like me, and totally love being on the bleeding edge of tech, there's no real point in installing it yet.

    Have Windows 10 on the laptop myself but won't put it on main gaming machine 'till full release!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,340 ✭✭✭deco nate

    No just a 'beta' of it. The Technical Preview: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows/preview-iso

    I just had to download an update there. Anyone know what it was for? I think it was ~250MB

    The newest update contains a controller update.

    It now connects quicker and has a load of bug fixes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    241mb update for me now


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,791 Mod ✭✭✭✭CatInABox


    New update out today.

    A new chat icon will show the status of the chat connection, but the far more interesting update for me is that they are improving connectivity between people with Strict or Moderate NAT.

    Do you need to plug the controller in for that? I was never prompted to update it.

    Yeah, go into Settings>Devices, then start hooking your controllers up one at a time.

    Is anyone having trouble with the current update on the preview program. Mine won't update. Just want to check if it's just me before I download the diagnostic tool

    No, mine updated fine this morning.

    It's only got bug fixes, one for a Geometry Wars 3 crash, and a resume from standby bug.
