Upgrade Xbox One Preview: what to know to avoid problems

Tonight Microsoft started releasing the first users of the program Preview the new Xbox One update that includes several features including the arrival of Cortana and better organization of the interface. But it is still beta software, so what are the potential problems to which meets people installing the update?

Here are the most important known issues in this first update, that will be solved in update later but for now it is important to pay attention:

  • Purchase games and DLC -some games and DLC purchased from the console after installing this update will be available and can only be used on the same console or on other consoles that have the same update. This means that if you use the sharing feature with a friend, if you have installed the update and not him, buying games or content on your console him might not be able to use them. Fortunately there is an easy workaround: until this problem is resolved, make sure you buy games and content from Xbox.com rather than from the console.
  • EA Access -EA Service Access may not work with this update, leading both to launch the free trials of games, both full titles featured in EA Vault
  • Pins -after installing the update, if the console upgrade an app that has been added to the Home screen, this will be removed and will re-add them manually. This will happen only the first time you update the app, after which will continue to be "pinned".
  • DLC -after you install the update some DLC purchases may not be visible in the games. If this occurs, you should exit the game and restart it to fix the problem.
  • Installing games -when you start installing a game from the Store, this will display "ready to go" even if it's not yet available at startup.
  • Code redemption -in update is not for now can redeem download codes of the Store. Until the thing is not fixed, redeem them from Xbox.com
  • Boot games and apps -some games or apps may give an error when trying to start them. To fix, simply close the message and then try to open them.
  • Ready to install -loading the game list "to install" could go wrong if you own a vast digital library.

As always, these are bugs in this first release but that will be fixed in the coming days: so if you have downloaded the update keep present until they are correct!
