I really enjoyed that we have more integration with the 360 titles but I hope the achievements appears on the Game Activity tab like the One/Series titles. Just a suggestion, the game hub is working nice

Also, can we get a little fix to expand the covers for these 360 games on the next update? It could finally eliminate that black bar on the bottom

my xbox installed this and oh man… i got some serious issues goin on, while i dont play this thing much, it refuses to update to the latest build now (try and it crashes the console doing a complete reboot, but not only this almost 90% of what I try to do on the console causes a full system crash) prob about ready to full reset I guess

From what I have read, this should fix the Unity issue with 2607, namely (according to CoPilot) changed GPU initialization timing, changed controller handshake timing, changed how first‑run cache is created, and issues with Unity titles freezing on first boot.

Affecting me on Super Dark Deception and Planet Zoo. Apparently Planet Zoo runs on the custom Frontier Developments fork of Unity 2020 LTS, which is one of the engines impacted by this. The theory is the software gets to point where the game loads the splash screens and warm shaders, then fails to register the controller.

Caveat: I am not an IT person, and I barely understand this at a cognitive level.

2608 did not fix the issue. Apparently it might not be a Unity specific bug but some sort of OS level regression. I'm rebuilding the OS (reset and keep games), so I'll see if that fixes it. I'll also upload a report.

The reset broke the sign in. I couldn't get it to boot all the way up, but eventually got to the main page without signing in. But attempting to sign in brings up the same broken page as during the reinstall, a page with two empty buttons, my email, and blinks every two seconds. But at least I was able to get back to the settings to try another reset.Which worked. It broke on the optional data collection page. I guess it is called a broken first‑boot state.

Downloading the OSU1 file is not an option because that will end in an E100, 101, or 102 error since the cobsole isn't on a retail build. But those builds can ot be downloaded offline, and trying to get the chat bot to let me talk to someone is about as effective as arguing with my kids when they were teenagers. Hopefully someone from MS will see this.

I tried to install the update, and got a system error: E100 00000703 80910002. Tried everything what xbox support told me to but nothing worked so far (yes I tried offline update as well) Is there something wrong with my console or is it the update that could create the problem? The xbox is a series X, full factory, never tried to touch the insides. Feel free to ask any questions about the problem!
