Sent of a request for sniper and another for philelzebub. Probably is closed doors just now because of the new dashboard though. No harm in trying though.

Nope nothing for me either.
I'm happy for a delay so they can work out some of the issues.

True. At this stage based on the reports, it would be a bit like being selected for jury duty.

I had the new windows 10 update a few days ago.. Haven't had much time to play with it though. Will post my impressions later.

Look forward to reading your opinions and problems with the new dash. Not received the update yet, AFAIK, not had the console on for a few days

OK.. Had 20 mins with it and it's not good a good experience so far. Had to do 3 hard resets and minecraft won't start.. Just hangs at the loading screen..
Popping out now. May get some more time later.

Edit:I do like the tabs though.. Everything is laid out really well and seems so much quicker and easier to get to.

When I turned my console on briefly this morning to see if NFS had finished downloading I got the prompt to update to the new dashboard. Unfortunately I had to leave for work before it had finished installing.

Something's happening on my Xbox One, so looks like my time has come too! Fingers crossed it doesn't brick the thing for the next month or so.

EDIT: Yup, I'm in too. Looks lovely. No issues....yet.

Same here, booted up to a dashboard update. 1100MB. What else can it be It wont be funny if there is issues with forza 6 and destiny, the only 2 games i am playing just now. Once it installs the first thing i will do is a hard reboot on the X1.

I got the new update also it looks great

Is anyone having trouble submitting text in Twitch chat?

I have not have any troubles playing Forza 6 yet, it even let me broadcast on Twitch and was running smoothly.

I thought my console was knackered a minute ago, I went to broadcast on Twitch and the screen started to flicker and my xbox powered off. So I switched it back on and it would not connect to xbox live so I tested the connection and it said that my wireless was faulty and my console would need to be sent for repair, I felt gutted. So I held my finger on the xbox icon for a few seconds on the front on the console and it powered off so I turned it back on and it's ok now.

Only problems I've had are; Wasn't getting any notifications yesterday (today seems fine) and game clips are stopping after a few seconds.

I have encountered quite a few issues trying to use the new dashboard, I can understand why they asked you to opt into it at the moment.

I'm getting a lot of issues, quite a list.

1.HDMI doesn't pick up my skybox and i often get a black screen
2.Black screen on startup (this is down to above as i have my xbox boot to TV)
3.Most apps don't work when xbox is first booted and i have to give the machine 10 minutes before i try anything as i get a 'please wait' message
4. Pins disappear and reappear randomly
5.Xbox/'home' button doesn't work randomly when in apps and wont let me go back to dash which forces me to do hard reset
6.Whole system sometimes freezes , mostly at the dash and i have to once again reset.
7.Sometimes the Xbox doesn't pick up my external HD when first booted and i suddenly get a 'external drive detected' message a few minutes after boot.
8. Some games won't start at all sometimes and i get a 'this app is taking too long to load' message. I have to reset the console and try again to get them to work

The only issues i had was the foreign english on a small part of the dashboard and the sound mutes when inside an app, ie navigating between tabs, go back to the main dash and i get sound.

I would still prefer the xbox to boot to a screen with my pins, i know if i press the right trigger or shoulder button it will take me straight to them but ...

Later tonight i will plug in my bt youview box to see if there is any changes/problems

Been lucky so far. Had the language issue and when using the guide when watching Netflix, it pauses/plays what ever I'm watching when selecting options, like I'm pressing the play button as well as selecting from the menu.

Liking what I see so far, plus the speed!
