The fall 2017 Xbox one update... Is actually good!?
- Thread starter TI92
- Start date
Yeah, I like this update a lot. Really happy since the last revision was my least favorite by far.
It's excellent and very fast. I love that if you keep pins to apps, get rid of pins on the home screen, and just home your current games, it's almost like NXE 2.0.

I liked it, but it was sooooo slow.
Heyo!
I didn't want to make a thread just for the question, but it does pertain to the Fall Update, so since some posters in here have been using the update for a good minute: Where are digital game manuals viewed now? I've never tried to use one before yesterday but I wanted to check out the Trackmania Turbo digital manual. I knew I had seen the option before and that it wasn't always something from an in-game menu, so I began poking around the Game Hub and the Xbox Assist help menu while in game. First time using the Xbox Assist help menu but I went through a lot of different screens and even searched for 'Trackmania Manual' and 'Manuals' in the Assist search bar. I couldn't find a manual for the game anywhere. I searched google but all of the directions on where to find them were for previous versions of the UI and I couldn't find anyone asking or talking about them post-Fall Update?
Are they gone as of the new update? Is there not a requirement that every game had to have one and smaller games tend not to (that's pretty ridiculous if that's the case, considering physical games don't come with manuals anymore and digital downloads need to be able to tell you at least the controls)? Have they just tucked them away somewhere I haven't checked yet?

Apparently snapping "Help" to the side of the screen while in-game was where they were, according to some old stuff I read on reddit and the Xbox forums. Didn't this update kill snapping though? I've never used the snap feature, so I wouldn't know what info was in Help before, but Help is now Xbox Assist and I can't find anything there.
Crazy thing is, Trackmania Turbo doesn't have a configuration or button layout page in its menu system, and I wanted to see what all the controls were. I wound up googling and found a manual on the Ubi site, but a digital manual would have been helpful.
on par with Sony? You mean with stability fixes? Microsoft has consistently put out better updates for the last year or 2
I would like to see the Xbox live gold ads removed for those who already subscribe to gold
They pushed it back to early 2018 because not everything was ready to go.

Which ads? I only see the one box on the home screen which takes you to all the Gold sales and free games so it has a purpose.
Up to par with PS4? I can't open the ps store while in game and the video apps take forever to show up.
It is a HUGE improvement over what it has been. As someone who has talked an enormous amount of trash about the system's ui since launch (for good reason) they've finally released something that feels fluid and usable. I feel like Microsoft's interface game over the last 4 years or so across consoles and Windows has been amazingly uneven given what an important part of their business it is. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come from them.
Well thats not true. Im playing skyrim and browsing the ps store at the same time on the og ps4 right now.
And i agree with the sentiment that xbox is catching up with ps4 updates... Ive had bad experiences with every xb1 update so far, theyve all felt clunky, slow, with unnecessary features (or features that made no sense)
This update feels a lot closer to a streamlined and smoother experience on par with ps4s
I don't like it personally, everything is a mess of menus now (especially the friends "section" as it seems to be divided up into). The dashboard before this one wasn't spectacular either but at least I didn't struggle with it.
It feels like a poor attempt to emulate the Xbox 360 guide.

My Xbox is disconnected until the X arrives so I can't check there but the help pages are still accessible from the Xbox app
how do i control my streaming music volume now? it's gone from the dash
