Xbox Insiders in the Alpha ring will soon have access to a new Xbox Update Preview, bringing forth a range of background improvements aimed at enhancing the overall quality and stability of Xbox consoles. While the noticeable changes to the user interface may be minimal, it’s important for users to stay informed about the updates coming to their devices. Here are the details:
## System Update Details:
– OS version released: XB_FLT_2310ZN\25398.2453.230928-1038
– Available: 2 p.m. PT – October 2, 2023
– Mandatory: 3 a.m. PT – October 3, 2023
## Fixes Implemented:
Thanks to the hard work of Xbox engineers, several fixes have been implemented in this build:
### System:
– Various updates to accurately reflect local languages across the console.
– Note: Users participating in the Preview may notice “odd” text across the console. For more information, refer to the [official Xbox support](https://support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/manage-account/xbox-insider-hub-report-a-problem) page.
## Known Issues:
The Xbox Insider Release Notes have listed several known issues that are actively being addressed by the Xbox team. While these issues may still persist, rest assured that the team is continuously working to find solutions. Here are some of the known issues:
### Audio:
– Users have reported intermittent issues with audio across the dashboard, games, and apps.
– Note: To report audio issues, use the “Report a Problem” feature with the “Reproduce with advanced diagnostics” option. Select the category “Console experiences” and “Console Audio Output Issues.” In your report, please provide as much information as possible, including when the issue started, whether you lost audio in just the game/app or the entire system, any audio format changes you made, whether rebooting resolved the issue, and details of your setup (equipment, layout, etc.).
### Keyboard Button Mapping for Xbox Controllers:
– Changing the keyboard language settings while the Xbox Accessories app is open will reflect the change after quitting the app or rebooting the console.
### Manage Queue:
– When the queue is empty, the border around “When games and apps are installing, you’ll see them here” may extend off-screen. A fix for this issue is currently being worked on.
### Networking:
– Reports have been received regarding consoles not connecting to the network as expected during boot. If you experience this issue, be sure to report it via the “Report a Problem” feature as soon as possible.
– Workaround: Wait a minute for the connection to establish. If the console still doesn’t connect, restart it from the Power Center by holding the Xbox button, selecting “Restart console,” and choosing the “Restart” option.
Make sure to use the “Report a problem” feature to inform the Xbox team of any issues you encounter. While they may not be able to respond to every report, the data gathered is crucial for finding resolutions.
