That is the problem then, the 50hz setting isn't for you guys, but it does show you what most of Europe's problems where with this issue if you enable it.

 

That's what I figured but I was testing the 50hz and see how it goes... but it looked crap.

 

####ing awesome

 

You should have read the agreement before you accept the registration. It says there is no way to uninstall the update.... Once you update it, you have to wait until they have new update for next one..and it will fix the problems you may have.

I'm having 2nd thoughts about it too, but not sure if it's too late or not to decline updating and still be able to connect to XBL :/

I severely regret it at this point. Maybe I missed a warning saying I would lose the ability to connect with friends. 

 

I recall a warning saying that some functionality might be lost, but I didn't think it would have this kind of impact. I should have known better considering the issues I've had with my Xbone so far.

I must have missed that part, but I did read through it. Hopefully this can be a warning to others looking to try the beta, and why they should avoid it.

I can't remember if every dashboard update has disabled communication between builds but it has happened before and they warn users. Unfortunately you've missed the small print this time :(

 

Think I'm stuck with it too now. Don't fancy being cut off when my FL doesn't have the preview.

Oh well, I'm sure it won't be long before the next firmware update, especially with Titanfall dropping soon. If I'm not mistaken, this is when Twitch streaming is going live?

 

 

It won't be long before we get a public update which it will be released to public with Xbox One consoles in about 2 weeks.

I need to check when I get home but I am hearing the 50hz TV judder issue is now fixed for UK folk, hopefully it doesn't break game playing.

You guys always make it look like it was only affecting the UK but it actually affects Europe in general and al lot of other regions in the world.

 

 

That's what I figured but I was testing the 50hz and see how it goes... but it looked crap.

So now you know what TV and DVD has been looking like for Europeans the whole time. DVD is not even affected by this fix, so it will still look like crap, even after the update.

Is this March update the one that is rumoured to give developers an updated SDK that has been said to help them out automatically on how they use esram and which 1 developer has come forward and said they will easily hit 1080p with the new SDK?

 

As far as I know, the SDK and the console are completely separate entities. The console itself wouldn't need an update for developers to make use of an updated SDK. the SDK just allows the developers to make use of what is already there on the xbox. Unless these fucntions are ALSO tied down on the xbox then they would need an xbox update and an SDK update, but we already know some first part title use the ESRAM function, just not as easily as the SDK will allow.

Apparently you can invite friends to join you in the preview so that you don't have this issue.

My Xbox just updated again today and something I did not noticed yesterday was a new option under System which is Update Controller which I assume is to update the drivers. There is also a new build number.

Build: 6.2.10694.0 (xb_rel_1403.140225-2200) fre

Yeah, they said there was going to be a controller update along with the March update. I like the fact they can update parts of the system without needing a large dashboard update like with the 360.

The April update (or the update that follows the March update) will get the pop toast notification for friends signing on:

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.
