Xbox One: New Xbox One Experience startet und was Ihr beachten solltet

Heute in der früh hat Microsoft angefangen erste Xbox Live Nachrichten an Xbox One Previewmitglieder zu senden. Ihr könnt euch damit für die New Xbox One Experience registrieren, solltet aber einiges beachten, wenn Ihr das tut.

Ab 3 Uhr in der früh hat Microsoft begonnen, erste Xbox Live Nachrichten an Xbox One Previewmitglieder zu senden, die sich dann für die New Xbox One Experience registrieren können, denn wie bereits vor wenigen Tagen berichtet, ist die Ausrollung der New Xbox One Experience optional, d.h. Ihr müsst zustimmen, dass Microsoft euch die New Xbox One Experience, also das neue Xbox One Dashboard aufspielen darf.

Über die Xbox One Dashboard Preview-App könnt Ihr eure Xbox One dann registrieren. Der Stutus wird dann auf “Pending” gesetzt, was so viel heißt, abwarten. Microsoft schaut sich diese Registrierungen an und wird die New Xbox One Experience in Wellen ausrollen. Bevorzugt behandelt werden sollen dabei User, die sich bisher fleißig am Xbox One Previewprogramm beteiltigt haben.

Also nicht wundern, wenn Ihr die New Xbox One Experience nicht gleich bekommt. Microsoft schreibt selber, dass es mehrere Wochen dauern kann, bis alle registrierten Xbox One die New Xbox One Experience aufgespielt bekommen.

1. Launch the Xbox Preview Dashboard app
2. Go to Registration, then choose Change
3. Choose what group you’d prefer:
   1. The Preview – New Xbox One Experience option is for you if you want new updates and features as soon as they are available, and don’t mind less stability. Choosing this puts you in line to receive these updates as they become available to more and more members.
   2. The Preview – Existing Xbox One Experience option will work if you want to wait until later to get access to the New Xbox One Experience, but remain in the Preview Program. By default, all Preview members are in this group. If you want to stay in this group, you don’t need to take any action.
4. Click Submit.
5. Read the confirmation information carefully. After you’ve read all of the information, click Confirm to be placed into queue.
6. Your console status will show as EnrollPending until we are ready to expand the Preview to you. This could take several weeks.

Das solltet Ihr beachten:

Beachtet aber, dass die New Xbox One Experience noch viele Fehler beinhalten kann, sowie nicht alle Funktionen eingebaut sind. Auch Spiele können nicht richtig funktionieren und zu Fehlern führen. So kann es bei Forza Motorsport 6 zu Grafikfehlern etc. kommen.

Die New Xbox One Experience ist eine Preview auf die finale Version, welche im November 2015 für alle Xbox One User erscheinen wird. Preview = Beta und so solltet Ihr an die ganze Sache auch heran gehen.

Wer ein stabiles System haben will, der sollte generell aus dem Xbox One Previewprogramm aussteigen oder weiter “nur” Preview-Updates zum aktuellen Dashboard aktivieren.

Community Twist

• Currently this area is not fully populated with content and is missing large sections of the user experience. Activity feed content also may not be actionable and items on the trending items second level screen have not been fully tuned.  As Preview moves forward content and features in this area will light up.

Xbox App/Smartglass

• SmartGlass and Xbox App Live TV/OneGuide: You may experience issues connecting to Live TV or OneGuide when connecting to the console with SmartGlass.
  • Workaround: Set your SmartGlass connection to auto connect, quit the app, and restart. If the issue persists, hard reset the console.

Accessories

• Xbox One Media Remote:
  • When resuming from connected standby the Xbox One media remote may fail to send commands; a hard reset resolves this.
  • The buttons for media playback will not work (rewind, play, pause, fast forward, skip back, stop, skip forward). The directional and center “select” button will function as normal.
• USB TV Tuner: If you have a USB TV Tuner plugged into your Threshold Xbox One console, Windows and Windows Phone SmartGlass devices will crash when attempting to connect to the console. To avoid this, you can switch to the Xbox App on Windows 10 or reset your TV settings and avoid setting up the USB TV Tuner.
• Third Party Steering Wheels: Using a third party steering wheel will work in games, however, it may cause instability to the console after attempting to use the Xbox button to return to the dashboard.
  • Workaround: Hard reset the console.

Wer das alles nicht scheut: Viel Spaß mit der New Xbox One Experience und nicht vergessen, Microsoft fleißig Feedback zu geben!
