If some of you actually don't understand why or think MS should just stop releasing builds, stop posting in here and stop using the preview. You just made it clear you have no freaking clue what you're doing or talking about or you're just trolling at this point.

 

They have made it pretty freaking clear why they are still releasing builds up to and after RTM. I shouldn't have to explain why because anyone who has been following its development from day one would know. If you honestly don't understand then I feel a small bit of sadness for you.

 

Anyone who knows why they are still releasing builds, but finds it pointless, is trolling or annoyed because suggestions they made were ignored. Plain and simple. You can't stand that others (many, MANY others) don't like the same as you and it annoys the hell out of you lol. Shows that you also think that you're above others and what you want maters more. Doesn't work that way. Sorry.

 

If I were you,I wouldn't generalize that much...

Nothing,but arguing about what should and what should not MS do is a kind of a forbidden thing.

Greetings,MikeM97.

3D Builder still stuck, and Outlook Mail still crashing all over the place or not rendering mails properly.

You know, I keep uninstalling 3D Builder, and the dang thing keep re-installing itself. :angry:

same here. and the store updates interface looks awful

If you ask me, the whole store interface looks aweful. Like why the hell does it have its own back button on top of the interface and not just an in-titlebar button that is replaced by the back button in the taskbar in tablet mode. I expect them to give to store another overhaul by the time we reach RTM.

 

Also, more icons are switching to the style of Music and Calculator, it appear s to be a new design que or something.

I'm sure it's still going to be changed. Every app is now getting the back button on the title bar, should be coming to the Store soon too. I really want a new PC build, more than a phone build. 10130 has been a little annoying for me. The latest Intel GFX driver has been doing well, but it's still a little worse than in previous builds.

His source is Gabe Aul's Twitter account.

 

@Studio384

 

It helps to link to sources when you post stuff like that. Gabe's Twitter is the only place you could have got that news from since that's where everyone else got it. You do that a lot and never link to the source like you want people to think the source is you. It's clear that you are not.

 

Gabe himself said it may take up to 24 hours to get it out. That makes it tomorrow. Why are you adding Wednesday? No reason to add on to it like that.

Yeah, no. Whenever I post something like that I always say "Gabe confirmed...", sure, this time I forgot, but otherwise I always mention that info. It nice that within 24 hours is Tuesday for you, but for some people it is Wednesday if 24 hours have passed. Neither did he say that it will be released in 24 hours, he said that the preparation time is 24 hours.

 I see that, maybe a release this week ? Is it possible ?

 

Well, the shortest timeframe we've ever had was 4 days from compilation to release to Fast ring, so it is possible, but if that build reaches Insiders, it will be at least Wednesday.

Here is a video of the problem I am having with Edge. I just did a clean install but it didn't fix it. Does it seem to look like a video card driver issue?

My Stream 7's battery life took a nose dive with build 10130 and I think the culprit is Spartan. The battery just dies in 3-4 hrs in standby if I keep Spartan open whereas the tablet easily went 10+ hrs in standby with IE open in 10122.

      Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
