I assume the roll out is by region and not by when you received the code.
That seems to be how MS rolled out the February update.

Agreed! that is HUGE!
So excited for that. I hated saying it 38 times to get to the volume I wanted just cause I'm to lazy to find the remote lol
Would be nice if it had its own arbitrary volume scale so we could just say 'Xbox, Volume 14'
Just updated both my controllers, only took about 30 seconds each. Just go to System and there is an Update Controller option. Everything seems much snappier (no pun intended!) The friends app is pretty spot on too. It's amazing how big a difference having friends online status in the center row of the screen, with the activity feed off to the right now. Makes alot more sense.
Hands down my favorite unsung feature of this update though:

Another huge update! Man MS is bringing it with this update.
I've been wondering about this ever since they first talked about it. Does it actually make the sticks feel tighter or is it just adjusting what the sensitivity is in game?
Deadzone adjustment at a software level. Takes a little longer to react to movement of the analog stick to make it less twitchy and allow for more precision.
Houston also, its updating now.

Do you have to connect the controller via USB to get the update on the controller ?
Yes with a micro USB cable.
Interesting, hopefully that will help because I hate how the sticks feel.
How are people who don't have the play and charge cable gonna update it though? Luckily I have one.
Kevin Harris

Thanks was not sure.
Id imagine most people have a Micro USB cable somewhere.
Word is though that the deadzone stuff was done console side last patch, and the controller update is purely in relation to the headset adaptor, which comes with a cable.

That's great! I would have to repeat the "Xbox Volume" command 10 times before any decreeable real for my receiver.

Friends menu is so much better now. My only gripe is an existing issue. When the friends apps loads, Kinect voice controls will not work until the Activity Feed has completed loading.

I thought I remember Phil spencer saying all u had to do was re sync the controller with the system and it will update over the air. Does it actually say wired?
The Elite

Yeah, it syncs the update wirelessly to the controller. We received a controller update in the February update.
That makes much more sense.
Some great new features in here like bitstreaming.Very surprised they've managed to get so much in so quickly, it usually takes much longer in the software development world to add in and test this much.
They must have been working round the clock, certainly shows their dedication to getting the software up to scratch. Keep it up!
If anyone has any referrals left. Would appreciate one being winged to 'Extricate' the last update sometimes gives me black screen of death leaving me no choice but to do a hard reset, hopefully fixed now.

Same here. Very excited to see all these positive changes.
With a Micro USB cable. Every household has one of those. Also don't forget that this is the update for the headset adapter. It will come with a micro USB cable.

So, I have nothing. I'm trying to get on this ambassador thing, I'm sure it's all too late but it keeps telling me I'm not a gold member even though I am :'(

What exactly are "the optimizations"?
Bloodsent
Member
Nevermind, just power brick just turned amber. All good.
It's good to be able to control volume with voice commands, but I'm always saying it 2 or 3 times because it doesn't change enough.
This looks like a great update. They've promised a 50Hz fix for PAL TV too, is that in?
I saw an option to change to 50hz.
Yeah, the same area as the volume change. Settings > TV & One Guide > Troubleshooting > Video > Enable 50hz
Xbudz

Yes the 50Hz option is under Settings > TV & One Guide > Troubleshooting > Video.
Shows up as a checkbox there.
