First Xbox One System Update for 2015 Rolls Out Today

By CAG CheechDogg

So I have had my XBOX One now for about a month and I have to say that I am not really impressed with it at all. There are so many bugs with it especially with the navigation system, chat/party system, message system and the controller and mic issues as well.

I was completely shocked when I first got my XBOX One and found out that I had to disconnect my XBOX One's power cord in order to reset the Mic so that I can communicate with others not just in a party but in game. Really?

I have missed so many party invites and messages sent to me because of this buggy system and all I can say is "Did I really let my girlfriend spend $620 on this?

So I found out that they are releasing the first System Update of 2015 for Xbox One and it rolled out yesterday ... Here is what they have to say about this update:

Updates to controller, party chat, TV and more.

Microsoft today outlined the Xbox One February system update heading to Xbox One users today, the first update for this year.

Previously revealed for preview members last month, the update features a new tile transparency option that enables users to decide just how much of their console's custom backgrounds they can see.

The update introduces Game Hubs, new pages where users progression stats, achievements, DLC details, leaderboards and Twitch videos for a given title are collated from their friends and the wider gaming community.



It also adds Xbox One controller enhancements with Quick Connect. The new feature shaves controller connections to an Xbox One down to approximately two seconds from the previous time of 4 to 5 seconds when powering on a controller.

Check out the full list of Party Chat and TV updates heading to Xbox One below:

Party chat updates

• New icons have been added to chat let users know the current status of a chat connection in the party. Icons have been added for when a connection is being made, indicates when the connection is successful, shows who is speaking and networking limitations.
• Improved connectivity between multiple participants with Strict or Moderate NATs updates include improvements to party chat in partial mesh situations when multiple participants are behind moderate or strict NATs with their home gateways/routers.
• Game and party invitations improvements includes seeing which friend is inviting you and what party or game the invite is for, without having to wait for the text to scroll on the notification.
• Decreased the time it takes to set up person-to-person (P2P) connectivity.

TV updates

• TV trending in OneGuide for the U.S., U.K. and Canada, and Twitter trending is available in the U.S..
• Live TV trending for France, Germany, Brazil and Mexico.

Hopefully it works out and does what it says it will. I was fairly bummed about that shit too. I really wish they would stop with the TV non sense and focus on the core of it and what it should do in regards to gamin.

Yeah Blame ...but the whole purpose of the xbox one was to make it an entertainment system more than a gaming console ... all the apps they tried to shove down the 360s side is what they accomplished with the xbox 1 although it is buggy as fuck ...they should of left the 360 for gaming only and the xbox 1 for both ...

you dont need to unplug the power cord for this bro...

just gotta keep your finger on the off button located at the front of the console until the console switches off.

this gives you a safe hard reset, unlike pulling the plug on a computer which is turned on

I tried that and it didn't work my Man .... breaks and others told me to do that and it worked ...

Lets hope this shit works. These bugs are pissing me off. Makes me think I should have grabbed a ps4 when I was buying a second system for the basement. Lets hope this update makes my decision to stick with the x1 the right one.

Ah, I see

On the rare occasion it doesn't work for me I just do it again and it seems to sort itself


--Feel free to add me if you play AW on the X1--

I thought about getting a PS4 but man that would be like 900 bucks between both consoles not to mention the games which are 64 a pop so I mean I think if I spend any more money on gamin I'm just gonna upgrade my PC. There are so many more games and you can get plus the great deals all year via Steam and other third party sites.

Yep that's all I do also seems to work.Also it is a potential fire hazard to leave anything plugged in and switched on at the mains for a prolonged period of time.with two kids running around i just don't take the risk
