edit: the offer KIngA posted above now works out as £26.81 after using the code. Bargain!

 

Looks like there was an update for the preview dashboard last night. Cortana is much better now. Not quite as fast as just saying "xbox" but close. Far more usable now at any rate.

 

 Also got a problem with my living room Xbox One and wondered if anyone had any ideas. The picture has started flashing black just for a split second every so often. I have tried a different HDMI cable, and oddly, it seems like the TV doesn't lose an actual video feed as the info box doesn't come on when the picture comes back.

 

 I'm hoping there might be something else I can try before paying MS to fix it. It is my day one machine, and although there is nothing physically different between it and regular models, I want it fixing rather than swapping for a refurb.

Patch notes for the new preview build:
 

Quote

HOW TO GET IT

 

• If your console is in Instant-On mode, it will download and install the update and reboot to standby.

• NOTE: Once the update is available, you can manually begin the update by navigating to Settings > System and selecting System Update.

• If your console hasn’t downloaded and installed the update by 1:00AM PDT 6/22/2016, you will be prompted to do so at that time.

 

DETAILS

 

OS version released: rs1_xbox_rel_1606.160616-1800
Available: 6:00PM PDT 6/20 (1:00AM GMT 21/6)

 

Thanks for helping us test the latest Xbox One update! We’re eager to show off the new features and experiences we’ve been working on. We’ve noted below a few important things be aware of before you jump in.

 

• Certain content (games, apps, DLC) purchased in the new Store may only be available on consoles enrolled in the latest Preview update. This means… 
• Games purchased on a console running the latest Preview update can only be played on that console or other consoles running the latest Preview update. 
• Games purchased via Xbox.com can be played on any console.  
• Games purchased on a console running the previous update can be played on any console.

• Certain parental control features aren’t functioning appropriately in the current build. As a result, we encourage users to exercise caution when letting children access a console that is using the latest Xbox One update until these issues are resolved.

• We’ve added several settings that are already found on Windows today. These include SmartScreen Filter, which sends URLs you visit in apps to Microsoft to check against a list of potentially harmful sites, and advertising ID, which helps Microsoft present you with more personalized ads in Universal Windows Apps. You can choose to turn these off and manage your preferences for how Xbox One uses your information in Settings.

 

NEW FEATURES

 

• Language Independence
Based on overwhelming fan feedback, we’ve enabled Language Independence to give you even more choices over your Xbox experience and how you engage with your Xbox One. Language Independence gives you the freedom to choose any supported language on Xbox One, regardless of your location.

Please try out this capability and give us your feedback. If you encounter any issues, change your language and location settings back to their previous values to see if the issue still exists. We look forward to your feedback.

• Game Pre-orders
When purchasing a game pre-order, funds may no longer be deducted from your account immediately (depending on when the game pre-order is purchased). Pre-order funds will now be deducted from your account 10 days or less prior to the game’s release date.

 

FIXES

 

• My Games & Apps 
Resolved an issue which sometimes caused game and app installations to get stuck in the Queue and fail to install. 

 

• Xbox Universal Store  
• When attempting to purchase In Between in the Store, the Store page no longer displays an error. 
• Resolved an issue which caused free content for Xbox Live Gold subscribers to fail to display.

 

• Blu-Ray Player
The Blu-Ray Player app should no longer fail to play discs after an app update.

 

• Cortana
• Resolved an issue which could sometimes cause poor speech recognition. 
• YouTube, Netflix, OneGuide, and other apps should now be more reliable with See-It-Say-It. 
• You can now say “Stop Listening” without saying “Hey Cortana” after using See-It-Say-It. 

• OneStore no longer crashes when started from a Cortana voice search. 
• Resolved an issue which could sometimes cause Cortana to crash when being snapped. 
• Asking Cortana about a friend’s online status now brings up the friend’s profile rather than the friend list.  
• There is now a confirmation for launching apps. When Cortana is snapped she will indicate what she is going to launch, allowing you to cancel. Cortana’s responses are also no longer shortened (allowing you to know exactly what is being launched). 
• Cortana’s “Listening…” should now appear more quickly after signing in.

 

• EA Access
• EA Access vault titles should now be available to install from the corresponding Store page.
• You should now be able to purchase the EA Access Hub from the Store.

 

• Screen Dimming
Resolved an issue which could cause the screen to dim in numerous apps.

 

CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES

 

TOP ISSUES

 

• Xbox Universal Store  
Sometimes when purchasing content from the Store, the store interface will appear zoomed in when confirming payment information. 
Workaround: Quit and relaunch the Store, then complete the purchase. 

 

GENERAL ISSUES

 

• Xbox Universal Store  
• At this time it's not possible to redeem a 5x5 code for Xbox Live Gold on the console. Please use Xbox.com or another console not enrolled in the latest Xbox One update to redeem a 5x5 code for Xbox Live Gold.
• You may be unable to buy, rent, or play certain movies or TV shows from the Store (the purchase button may not appear on the Store page). Please buy or rent from the Windows Store on a Windows 10 device or from the online Microsoft Store (http://www.microsoft.com/store/movies-and-tv) and the content will appear in the collection of your Xbox One’s Movies & TV app. The Xbox Video app can be used to purchase content on Windows 8.X/RT PCs and tablets and on Windows Phone 8.X devices. Windows XP, Vista, and 7.X users will need to purchase content from the online Microsoft Store.  
• When purchasing in-game currencies, the currencies sometimes fails to appear in-game. Games impacted include World of Tanks, Overwatch, and Call of Duty: Black Ops III. 
• Store pages for purchased games and apps sometimes still show a “Buy” button rather than an “Install” button. If you encounter this issue, please submit feedback via Report a problem. 
• The Coming Soon section is not currently available in the Store, and will be enabled in a future update.

 

• Movies & TV
When launching Movies & TV and attempting to play a video, the menu may obstruct part of the screen.

 

• Instant-On Mode
In Instant-On mode, when the console enters connected standby, game and app installations in progress may fail to continue installing.

 

• Payments and Billing
At this time it's not possible to add, edit, or remove payment options on the console. Please use Xbox.com or another console not enrolled in Redstone to manage payment options.

 

• Profile
At this time it's not possible to purchase a Gamertag change on the console. Please use Xbox.com or another console not enrolled in the latest Xbox One update to change your Gamertag.

 

• Cortana
• Cortana may take a longer than expected amount of time to use commands like slow, pause, play, mute, and take screenshot. 
• Cortana may occasionally fail to recognize a command and direct you instead to a web search. 
• Sometimes Cortana reports a poor network connection, when the network connection is fine. 
• When Cortana is “Thinking…” sometimes the sound effect continues to loop. 
• When using “Hey Cortana Turn Off”, sometimes she fails to recognize “Yes” or “No” to turn off the console. 
• Searching the OneStore via Cortana sometimes causes her to search the same keyword multiple times. 
• See-It-Say-It sometimes fails to turn on when first launching an app, but will turn on after using a voice command from within the app. 
• Cortini sign-in prompts may incorrectly occur when trying to launch an app while not signed in. 
• Cortana may fail to launch Skype, Groove, and the Movies & TV app.         

 

• Pins
• After downloading an app update, the app and all associated content pins will become unpinned from the dashboard. This only occurs once for each app after downloading the latest Xbox One update.  
• Pinning content from within apps (TV shows, etc.) is no longer supported.

 

• My Games & Apps
You may encounter an error when attempting to load Ready to Install with a large number of digital games and apps.

• Microsoft Edge
While playing a video, pressing the left thumbstick to enter full screen mode causes Microsoft Edge to crash. 
Workaround: Use the on-screen full screen button to enter full screen mode.

Can you stack xbox live subscriptions?  I may as well buy a couple of years worth if so.

 

Yes I haven't needed any since that £1/1month glitch in 2012 or something. I run out mid next year.

I've just bought AC Unity for £2.09 from cdkeys, used the code, and the game is at 20% installation but says 'ready to start'. When I try to launch it though it directs me to the store to buy it at £23.99. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

Working now.

Recore is £29.99 on microsoftstore.com UK at the mo but you also get a £10 store voucher...

I'm assuming that's for the physical disk?  I know it says free shipping, free returns but later on it talks about digital purchase in the small print.

ReCore is an odd looking game, clearly made on a relatively tight budget. At times it looks like something from 360 era (flat textures, etc) and at others it looks really nice. It's been compared to a metroid game, so I'm tempted to preorder but I haven't seen much gameplay yet.

Is Black Flag good? Might bag that too.

 

I've just got into Syndicate and, despite really enjoying Black Flag at the time (as my first AC game), it's a step backwards in mechanics, if you've played the recent versions. I've got Syndicate on XB1 and Black Flag on the PS4 upstairs on the go, and I'm much more clumsy moving Kenway around. While I initially loved the sea combat, later on having a poor ship will make getting to story missions tricky, meaning there's an inherent grind to it. It's much different to just faffing about over London rooftops.

 

It's worth it for a few bucks, though. Warning: you may find yourself wanting to be Welsh, which is understandable.

Ok. I think on the current beta my last update was probably around then. Probably no easy way to get involved in the new beta then.
