Xbox One / Series Update Preview Thread

[dotnetguy]

I've been thinking about whether to enroll my Series X on insider or not (assuming you can). I've always had my One X on preview and I enjoy tinkering around with the new stuff from time to time but man the constant updates in the Alpha ring are brutal and get really old after a while. Every week was going to be a new update, sometimes two. Was thinking I would just leave the One X on insider for testing and leaving my Series X as public firmware for now.

Yeah I started to get absolutely sick of updating my One S practically every few days. I've enrolled my Series X in Omega which doesn't change quite as often (I think!?)

 

[Raide]

Enrolled a few days back. Had 3 updates already. A least they are small and the system is super fast to get back to running.

 

[nihilence]

On my Series X, looks like last update on the 19th still.

Do we know if the elevated black levels for HDR blu rays has been fixed? Hoping to have it fixed by Friday when I'm planning to watch the new LOTR discs!

 

[nihilence]

Just had an update.
The queue now says if you have a game running, it may effect your download speed.

Oh. That's good, I guess.

Also yeah, I've gotten as high as 1.07 Gbps download speeds, but generally 3-450 Mbps but if I launch a game and check on my downloads it'll be like 25Mbps if that, lol.

I was interested in seeing the HDR tags I read about in the new update but couldn't find what they were talking about. Just noticed them today. An "Auto HDR" box shows up in the upper right when you press the guide button with a (compatible) game running.
(sorry if all you high-speed individuals already knew that)

Is the HDR calibration fixed? In the last update, I am not in preview btw...but it broke the HDR calibration. Whenever i power up my system I have to reset the calibraiton...prior to the last public update it did not do this.

The elevated black levels don't affect the One X according to that Vincent video, but it looks like his One X wasn't updated. Are black levels fucked on that too or just Series X? Anyone double confirmed?

Anyone have a Series X and run into issues where, in "Instant-On" mode, the system turns itself back on and desyncs the controller?

I would hazard a guess it has something to do with the new low latency controllers (but on the OS side maybe firmware or maybe both) It was happening to me as well. Plus, there is a known bug with the interference with wireless headsets. I've gone back to my Xbox One controller and the Series X has behaved better ever since.

August, beta testing the future.

Hope there's some features related to a Quick Resume UI, even if it's not enabled at first, or so it could mean no QR UI until after August builds.

I like testing new features :)

It's common on the Windows side to be a cycle (6 months generally) ahead of normal on the Dev channel, I see they've took this approach on the Xbox side too now.

Yeah, all this means for now is they want some users on the next version of Core OS, doesn't mean they will enable user facing features that aren't due to release until August or later anytime soon.
