Xbox One / Series Update Preview Thread

(Series X)

Is just me or Quick Resume NEVER works after powering on the console from "Energy Saving" mode?
It seems to work fine when using "Insant-On" or cycling between games.

It also works after a manual reboot but not with just regular power-off and power-on using Energy Saving.
I don't want to use Instant-on. Don't know what to do. Damn :(

Hey Xbox Insiders! We have a new Xbox Update Preview coming to the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring...

news.xbox.com

Hey Xbox Insiders! We have a new Xbox Update Preview coming to the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. It's important we note that some updates made in these preview OS builds include background improvements that ensure a quality and stable build for Xbox consoles.





We continue to post these release notes, even when the noticeable changes to the UI are minimal, so you're aware when updates are coming to your device. Details can be found below!

​

System Update Details:

• OS version released: RS_XBOX_DEV_FLIGHT\21306.1003.210202-2245
• Available: 2 p.m. PT – February 4, 2021
• Mandatory: 3 a.m. PT – February 5, 2021

Fixes Implemented


Thanks to the hard work of Xbox engineers, we are happy to announce the following fixes have been implemented for this build:





System

• Various updates to properly reflect local languages across the console
  • Note: Users participating in Preview may see "odd" text across the console, for more information go here.

Known Issues


We understand some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. These items aren't being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution.



We're still tracking these known issues:


Controllers

• We're aware some users using an Xbox Series X|S controller are seeing it lose sync with the console.
  • Note: If you see this behavior, try reconnecting the controller to the console via USB/Wireless or if possible connect another controller and submit feedback. Then reboot the console and try re-syncing the controller.

• We are investigating reports of the audio mixer being unable to adjust chat/game audio levels.

Home

• Some users have reported that the icon for a disc-based title is not appearing on the dashboard.

My Games & Apps

• Titles in collection may incorrectly appear with a "trial" tag.

Notifications

• Some users have reported not receiving notifications for party chat or game invites.
  • Workaround: Go into Settings>Preferences>Notifications>Xbox Notifications and toggle the "Party & game" selection off and then back on again.

Profile Color

• Sometimes users may encounter the incorrect Profile color when powering on the console.

Every time I sign on my Vcr or Sx it asks who is playing. Is that a feature I need to turn off. Why

Someone from Xbox Staff actually answered me on Reddit, explaining it's most probably a bug linked to some external USB HDD always connected to the console which bugs out QR after a power cycle (with Energy Saving).
I actually found that disconnecting my USB HDD QR works as intended.

They are already investigating for a fix in future updates.

[shawnoftheshred]

Has there been any updates about the Series X and it's ability to turn off TVs consistently? My Xbox One X did it no problem. The Series X turns on the TV when powered on, but still doesn't turn off the tv when powered off (mind you, turning off the TV powers off the Xbox, I think).

I swear I just heard a power off sound.

My One X is still plugged in with power saver. I can sometimes hear it running. Maybe that made the sound?

My Sx is still on and looks fine.

 

[nihilence]

Have not had controller problems in a few weeks.

Tonight was garbage. Tried to change batteries and lost connection. Not even a cable would help sync it up.

Alpha Skip-Ahead builds are not really these days, two days ago my Series X would freeze for a few seconds on almost every UI screen after waking it up, to finally freeze definitely in the game library. Forced a restart and all was good and fast again.

Many screenshots lost as one of the builds did not took them even if the popup said it did.

After each update my controller can't sync with the console (Elite V1, but the SX controller is still in sync), I have to plug it for a few minutes, turn off the controller and try again, several times.

Signing-in is still broken with a false error message (thus can't use Alexa's voice commands to start Netflix or any game if the console is not on already).

Background downloads don't work and had to let the console on for all night to download updates and games.

I know it's an Alpha version and "I signed for it", but sometimes I wonder why they still push buggy builds (when bugs are obvious like the sign-in one that appeared since the first 2108 update) when nothing new gets added to be tested.
It feels like they released a build with nothing new (except background code) but new bugs, previous Alpha Skip-Ahead builds were not that buggy.

I know it's a useless complaining post, but sometimes testing is a pain when many things goes wrong and I hope they fix the more irritating bugs soon.

The Alpha Skip-Ahead ring is to be expected to function that way. These are almost daily dev builds. You shouldn't be in that ring with your primary console if you are not okay with bugs and almost daily updates that don't do much on the surface.

They changed the core of the OS on the Alpha channels. You are testing an unstable, unfinished OS. This will lead to unexpected behavior. And that's the intention of the early rings.

I know, I like testing and giving feedback, but here there's nothing "new" to test and only new bugs that were not in previous Alpha Skip-Ahead builds so all we can do is fill reports and wait.
I mean, some bugs were not obvious and required normal use to notice (like the screenshots one and background downloads), but since the first 2108 build there's that sign-in issue, so why not delay it until this is fixed instead of pushing it ?

I won't go back to other rings unless it gets much more worse (mostly because I don't want to reinstall the OS entirely), I like testing and can't wait for new features. It's just that sometimes testing is a pain and some choices are questionnable.

This is happening to me from a few updates before, and is annoying when usually the update it was automatically applied while the console was off.

 

[Raide]

Ahh annoying. Rolled back my update to a lesser rank because I was having issues with Netflix, NowTV, etc. Still nothing. Only so many times I can reset a console/TV or swap out cables.

So I have been digital since December when I dropped Watch Dogs Legion.

This week, every time I go to launch the disc it fails one time. Then the next time it works. It's there a disc bug? Thought it was just for the icon.

This is reminding me of my Og One going bad.

One interesting thing regarding Edge on Alpha Skip Ahead, the first build with the new Edge was pretty much a copy paste from the PC build, however on the last update they removed Extension support and also the downloads and printer settings options from the settings page. I'm guessing that they did that for security reasons, but it is a shame.

In the latest Skip Ahead update there is a new button in the download queue to suspend the currently running game, neat :)
There is no "Suspend game" option in the game contextual menu for now.

It's not in the release notes though.

[Gowans]

Having the weirdest issue with the latest Alpha and Skip Ahead branches.

Running in 4k 120hz on my LG E9.

Every time I load a second game it looses HDMI right when it should be firing to game mode and I have to reset the console.

I fixed it last time by switching from skip ahead to alpha but it's followed me here in an update end of last week.

Might need to drop from the insider program, its a pain.

 

[Casper]

Wondering if anyone else is running into something similar. May cross post this in the main OT if no one here has seen/heard of anything similar.

Just today, while watching Sling via the app on my Series X... during the ads during the program, the screen will go black. Audio continues. I can also hear the blade/menu opening but nothing at all shows on screen. Actual TV menus (volume, menu, etc.) show fine so there is a picture, just not from the Series X. Changing from HDMI 4 to 3, then back to 4 gets my picture back.

Does this sound like some kind of handshake issue caused by hitting the ads in the app? Seems odd. I've not noticed it happen any other time while using sling, only after an ad. Just wondering if anyone else has run into anything similar.
