[XB1] Official Xbox One Thread

The Xbox One controllers will require a separate firmware update to work properly with the new headset adapter coming next month-

Update your Xbox One Controller to use the Stereo Headset Adapter
Overview

The Xbox One Stereo is used to connect chat or stereo headsets to your controller, such as the Xbox One Stereo Headset or third-party gaming headsets. The adapter is included with the Xbox Stereo Headset and is also sold separately to support third-party or “legacy” headsets.

To use the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter with your Xbox One Console, you’ll need to update your Xbox One Controller with the latest software to support the Adapter.

Update your controller

Follow these steps to update your controller to support the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter:

Make sure your console is on and you’re signed in and connected to Xbox Live.

Note It’s important to connect to Xbox Live because your console will need the latest system update, which contains the newest controller software. If you’ve connected recently, your Xbox One is probably already up to date, but you should connect anyway just to be sure. If your console needs an update, you’ll be prompted to install one.

Open the battery compartment on the back of the controller and remove the batteries.

Plug the Stereo Headset Adapter into the bottom of your controller. (You can also plug in a headset but that’s not required.)

Plug the big end of the included USB cable into the port on the side of the console.

Plug the small end of the USB cable into the top of the controller.

Instructions to install the update should automatically be displayed. Follow the instructions, and don’t disconnect the USB cable while the update is in progress.

When the update is complete, put the batteries back into your controller.

Press the Xbox button on the Wireless Controller to turn it on. Your controller is now up-to-date, and you’re ready to use your Xbox
One Stereo Headset Adapter.

Note You only need to update your controller one time, but if you plan to use the Stereo Headset Adapter with other Xbox One Controllers, you’ll need to do this process for each controller.

1) Party chat rarely working at all.(Not to mention I have to turn voice on?!?)
2) Party chat only allowing certain people to communicate with each other.
3) Games/apps crashing.
4) Kinect voice control spotty at best.
5) Profile signing out. Constantly having to sign back in.
6) Video record not working.
7) Constantly losing connection with my tv receiver.
8) Controller losing connection even though battery is full.
9) Forza telling me it needs to be installed every tume I pop the disc in.

1 and 2 are obvious. Thankfully they'll be fixed shortly. I had games crash a few times, usually BF4, within the first 2 or so weeks, hasn't happened since. I've never run into the other problems you listed.

I'm starting to realize I shouldn't have bought either system and should have put the money in a better video card for my PC.

Yea, I'm with you, I haven't had any of those issues besides the obvious. BF4 crashed a couple times but that's about it. I've never been signed out, and my video record is working fine. I own Forza and only had to install it once :kanye:

Party chat is the only major thing I hate, and that will be fixed this week. I've not seen any of the other complaints listed happen, but I know of friends whose PS4's are shitting the bed, and I'm sure everyone's here works flawlessly, so its a two way street.

I muted my mic while in a party chat the other night. I then made a smoothie and it turns out somehow i unmuted my mic by going too far from the system. Everyone in the party had me muted when i came back since all they could hear for like 30 seconds was my blender going off lol.

Any of you guys on xbox one want to trade battlefield for my copy of forza?

 

[Handleit_44]

The $24.99 they're charging for that adapter just to use your own headset is absolute bullshit.

Thankfully I am getting one for free from Turtle Beach since I bought my 510 headset during their promotion a few months ago. Probably won't see it before the end of April though.

I'll trade you Battlefield, but I already have Forza. If you have another bargaining chip, let me know.

Microsoft Fixing Xbox One Controller at Request of Respawn for TitanFall

Microsoft will also update the Xbox One controller specifically at the request of Titanfall's development team. According to Titanfall design lead Justin Hendry, an upcoming software patch will make the analog sticks more precise than before.

"It's just fixing the controller input, really," he tells The Verge, adding that the team worked with Microsoft on the solution. "It wasn't really where we felt it should be; it was a little overly twitchy with the current controls. Now it's fixed. We're happy with it."
Respawn Entertainment also says it's working with Microsoft on a new version of the console's upscaler — presumably to convert games rendered at sub-1080p resolutions up to the full HDTV standard — but it was unclear whether that upscaler will only apply to Titanfall or work with all Xbox One games.

This is the reason I'm not an early adopter. Let everyone else be the beta testers.....

Where's the Xbox One update? It's "too risky" to give dates, says Microsoft
"As soon as I get more information from my engineering team, I'll share," says Major Nelson

It is now three days post-Xbox One Update Emergence Day, and we still have no Xbox One update. No new dashboard. No improved Kinect features. No USB keyboard support. No controller battery indicator. Boo! Posting on Reddit, Microsoft PR supremo Major "Larry Hryb" Nelson has promised that "as soon as I get more information from my engineering team, I'll share".

"I don't have all the details," Hryb cautioned readers. "Things are moving quickly and all the teams are working extra hard. I don't really like giving dates either. Too risky."

This month's Xbox One update will also introduce the ability to manage storage - a much-demanded feature - tweaked controller sensitivity and separate Games and Apps lists.

There's another Xbox One update on the way in March. It will add a Recent Players option, polish up the Xbox Live party app and streamline multiplayer performance. The idea is to get everything shipshape and watertight in time for the release of Titanfall.

Both updates are just the beginning, Hryb continued. "We've got a lot of great stuff in store for Xbox One. It took years for the Xbox 360 to become a mature, feature laden platform. We've got the same long game planned for the Xbox One."

Among other things, he said, Blu-ray 3D support will be added in a forthcoming update. "It is on the list. No timing yet."

A new dashboard would make a fine Valentine's Day present, Major. Why say it with roses, when you can say it with functionality?

If it's "too risky" to give dates, then why did they publicly announce it was coming Feb 11th a while back?

It's called back pedaling. MS has become experts at it by this point.

My Xbox One just updated when I turned it on. The battery icon was an easy way to verify it was there. I'll be playing some Titanfall tonight if the servers will ever go back online and will report on any stability issues.
