Nothing here either!

In slightly related news, I'm loving the new update. The Friends tab is great, and I have to admit I'm finding the Achievements leaderboard a bit of a spur to mop up a few neglected cheevos. Any idea what the November update is bringing?

Yeah I am also quite liking that friends leaderboard feature, it does seem to encourage a little bit of extra competitiveness

New update is one of the best yet for me. Love the custom background feature, being able to set unlocked 1080p achievement artwork as a custom theme was a stroke of genius. The dash looks completely different with a lick of colour! IE got a few extra updates as well including an easy snap option from in-menu and the new profiles now allow you to show off your favourite achievements and game videos.

Can't be long now until custom soundtracks are integrated surely.

Some of those Horizon 2 achievement pictures are fantastic and make great backgrounds.

Even though most of the picture is lost, it still brings the whole screen to life.

Custom backgrounds -

Ok I had to uninstall the media preview app, to allow me to set my pics as background.

Sent out more invites last night.

My Stats on the preview app now working. I only have 70 points. I should get onto doing some Quests.

One last ditch attempt and then I will give up, possibly...

Could you guys try inviting my missus' account? Her gamertag is rosytedmole. Cheers!

If anyone had any invites left, I would appreciate one. I'm so behind the times at the minute, I didn't even know this existed! That'll teach me for not being on DS more!

Don't know about behind the times, your achievement tally certainly isn't. You been busy just lately

If people are still sending out invites I would really appreciate it. Created a new Gamertag with my Xbox One purchse (was annoying me having different email addresses across the Windows systems I have, so solidified it all). The tag is OliverJamesIX. Thanks in advance.

Yeah I noticed that when I went on yesterday evening. Didn't even know there WAS a leaderboard (I would normally put the rolly eyes smiley in here at myself, but that doesn't appear to be here anymore!!! )

For the last two updates my console hasn't auto-updated until I've turned it on. Getting annoying when I want a quick game and have to wait 15min while it applies an update.

Anyone else noticing this?

I don't keep Xbox and Internet powered overnight so recently quit the preview program after becoming fed up with the many updates meaning most times I powered on for a quick game I spent seemingly ages waiting for update to slowly download (despite 150mb/s Internet) then eventually install - often with no apparent difference to previous beta version

Yep. And game/app updates haven't applied automatically for about a month now.
Preview program problems persist, pah

Some of mine have and some haven't.

I also had to do 2 manual Xbox updates but I think that could just be that I went into console info when the updates had been released.

So I am wondering if you guys that didn't get into the preview program, did you have your account set up to receive emails from Microsoft. Maybe that was why you didn't get in? If you guys can make sure that you have opted then we can try again.

Go onto xbox.com and sign in,
highlight your gamertag in the top right hand corner,
chose profile
then privacy setting
sign in again
then on the left contact preferences
I ticked the first one only.

Anyone new who wants me to try for you, add me to your friends then I can send a request - My GT - Highland McB.
