    Thinking about it. It makes perfect sense what they are doing by sending invite to the people who report issues as much as possible they will be able to fix the issues sooner.

    Than say if they invited me they'd probably never hear about the issue unless it was a major one and really grinded my gears
    Although, I say they have a lot of telemetry built in to the system. Stuff that auto dials home with information of a crash or how popular a certain feature is used.

    I do those quests ( haven't filed a bug yet, though, just too unwieldy to type).

    So, I'll see if it's enough to qualify for the first few waves

    You can plug a keyboard in rather than use the controller to type.

    I'm still here.... though I thought I'd mentioned that :confused: Maybe not. Certainly the higher ups would have known about the issues I had.

    Had some problems a few months back but all is well again.

    No preview of new dash for me. I wasn't expecting it either not being US score was inflated by doing what we all do and accepting the quests quitting and completing them :pac:

    I only put two and two together last night when I saw you were posting in the TA challenge thread. Welcome back man (even though you've been here for 6 months) :)

    That is true, but I haven't owned a keyboard in years and I know I could also use the SmartGlass app as a keyboard, but that's all the way over there and I'm over here and it is just too far to reach. :)

    Invites to the new dashboard are going out in the next hour or so. A set of known issues will be also be posted in the Preview Dashboard App, apparently not all functionality is even working, so be aware.

    This is still just an invite though, doesn't mean that you will get it until they decide to let you in.

    No message yet, but you can now change your "flight" in the preview app, in the registration section. Plenty of warnings that some Apps and games might not work in early version, and updates will be twice a week.

    If you want to stop testing the new UI, then they will factory reset your Xbox.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,856 ✭✭✭MiskyBoyy


    I received a message. Just letting me know to opt in via the preview app.

    I want to, but one of the known issues is a few games not launching ans I don't want to risk it, particularly as my destiny addiction is back in full swing.

    They always make it sound less stable than it actually is tho.

    The worst situation for me would be if they had to factory reset my Xbox. It would be bad enough losing nearly 2TB or games but not only that, it would also screw my Xbox up and I would have to get a loan of someones original 500gb HDD from their XB1 to get mine straight again.

    But **** it, I'm taking that dashboard preview first opportunity I get :D

    It's not very stable by any account and I would not bet on avoiding a factory reset. Personally I wouldn't consider it if I didn't have all my games backed up to an external drive.

    I guess I'll have to find out the hard way and then curse the entire Microsoft office out of it because I failed to listen to prior warnings :)

    Like I said, I wouldn't go near it without all my stuff on an external.

    also,lol@all those people commenting, I guess a lot of them don't understand the purpose of the program. Threshold for xbone is still in heavy development and a lot of stuff isn't working yet.

    Meant to put this up as a warning earlier, but I've got a newborn that cutting into my time immensely! Lots of fun.

    Games and Apps: The following are known issues with specific titles on the initial New Xbox One Experience updates.

    Games Failing to Launch: The following games may fail to launch:
    • Guacamelee: SCTE
    • Elite: Dangerous
    • Pool Nation FX
    • D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die
    • Xbox Fitness
    • Skylanders
    • Destiny: The Taken King
    • Game Compilation Discs (ex. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, Saints Row IV).

    Forza 6: You may encounter graphical errors (screen turns a blue or purple hue) when participating in races
    Assassin’s Creed Unity: Installing Assassin’s Creed Unity DLC while the game is open will cause it to crash when the DLC finishes downloading.
    Elder Scrolls Online:
    Logging in to an existing character will cause an error indicating you do not have network connectivity and prevent you from connecting to the server.
    Titles with DLC installation issues: You will be unable to install DLC from game collection as no manage UI is present. Simply download the DLC and bundled title from the Store.

    Apps Failing to Launch: The following apps may fail to launch:
    • ABC News
    • VUDU
    • SlingTV
    • WWE
    • Showtime Anytime
    • Every Street United
    • Overdog
    • BlinkBox
    • ReddX
    • TWC TV

    Apps with video issues: The following apps will launch but videos or streams will not play.
    • SyFy
    • USA Now
    • BravoNow
    • TED
    • MLB



    General System Issues

    System Update Errors: If you encounter an update error screen while downloading a system update and the console freezes, please wait 3 minutes before rebooting the console to ensure crash data is captured. Crash data is submitted automatically; no action required on your part.
    Party Chat: When entering connected standby with a party chat session open, after resuming from connected standby party chat may no longer function.
    Workaround: Hard reset the console.
    Xbox Button: While holding down a button on the controller or plugging in a racing wheel and pressing the Xbox button, the power menu may pop up after which the Xbox button will fail to recognize input.
    Workaround: Hard reset the console.
    Automatic Downloads: Content purchased from Xbox.com will not automatically download to the Xbox One console. This feature is planned to come later.
    Browser: You will be unable to use voice commands in the browser; using voice commands in the browser will likely cause the console to hang and require a hard reset to resolve the issue.
    My games & apps: After downloading a system update My games & apps may fail to populate.
    Workaround: Hard reset the console.
    Games stuck in the queue: You may find games are unexpectedly remaining in the download queue.
    Notifications: Friends do not receive game toast notifications.



    Live TV: The following issues affect the Live TV experience:

    Cable/Satellite set top box compatibility is not yet at parity with the current Xbox One experience. Please continue to report video playback and audio issues using the Report a problem app to help us improve the experience. HDMI troubleshooting steps:

    Go Home and press the menu button on the OneGuide app to quit, then restart it.

    Unplug and re-plug the HDMI-in cable from the Xbox, ensuring it’s seated securely in the port.

    With the Xbox One turned on, pull the power cord on the cable/satellite box, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in.

    Press and hold the power button on the front of the Xbox One to perform a hard reboot of the console.

    Dolby Digital surround sound will not work for Live TV.

    App channels cannot be set as a Favorite.

    The “Xbox Snap TV” voice command does not work. You can snap TV via voice command by saying “Xbox Snap OneGuide” or choosing OneGuide from the Snap Center.

    The OneGuide pin doesn’t function. You can launch OneGuide using the app, voice commands, or from the OneGuide twist.

    You may experience a stuck frame streaming TV to the Xbox App. You can enter OneGuide or resize your window to restore video playback.

    The media transport controls do not work when streaming TV to SmartGlass and Xbox app clients.

    When resuming from connected standby the Xbox One media remote may fail to send commands; a hard reset resolves this.



    Community Twist

    Currently this area is not fully populated with content and is missing large sections of the user experience. Activity feed content also may not be actionable and items on the trending items second level screen have not been fully tuned. As Preview moves forward content and features in this area will light up.

    Xbox App/Smartglass

    SmartGlass and Xbox App Live TV/OneGuide: You may experience issues connecting to Live TV or OneGuide when connecting to the console with SmartGlass.
    Workaround: Set your SmartGlass connection to auto connect, quit the app, and restart. If the issue persists, hard reset the console.

    Basic SmartGlass functionality is now available including gamepad navigation, touch navigation, remote text entry, media playback control, and companions for apps and games. Other features such as two-finger touch panning, media companions, and power on/off will not function in this build.

    Accessories

    Xbox One Media Remote:
    When resuming from connected standby the Xbox One media remote may fail to send commands; a hard reset resolves this.

    The buttons for media playback will not work (rewind, play, pause, fast forward, skip back, stop, skip forward). The directional and center “select” button will function as normal.

    USB TV Tuner: If you have a USB TV Tuner plugged into your Threshold Xbox One console, Windows and Windows Phone SmartGlass devices will crash when attempting to connect to the console. To avoid this, you can switch to the Xbox App on Windows 10 or reset your TV settings and avoid setting up the USB TV Tuner.

    Third Party Steering Wheels: Using a third party steering wheel will work in games, however, it may cause instability to the console after attempting to use the Xbox button to return to the dashboard.
    Workaround: Hard reset the console.

    In case you haven't gathered from all that, IT'S VERY ROUGH, AND WILL PROBABLY CRASH A LOT. :)

    Xbox Windows 10 app just got an update that finally re-adds text entry from Smartglass:

    I think I can finally delete Smartglass now thanks to that.

    Text input is really nice , as I use it on a pc on the screen next to the xbox one, the one thing that annoyed me on the smartglass app was the text entry didn't automatically get focus so you had to click into it to enter text, no longer the case with the xbox app you can just start typing away.

    So did anyone get into the UI preview? Apparently it was an extremely small group that got it, which isn't surprising. The guy in eight position on the preview leaderboard didn't get into it, so it's obviously not going by that at all!
