A new update has begun to roll out to Preview Alpha Xbox Insiders. This latest build, 1802.180129-1625, fixes a range of bugs involving UI glitches and crashes but it also adds something that a few gamers might find useful; a download/installation progress bar in the Xbox One’s popup Guide that also acts as a shortcut to the installation queue. Here’s the full release notes.

New Features:

Installation Progress in Guide

In-progress installations are now visible from a tile at the bottom of the Guide. When selected, this tile opens a new interface showing items in the queue and their status, and allowing some basic functions like pausing or cancelling the installation.

Fixes:

Profile

Fixed an issue which caused some elements in Profile to appear misaligned.

Home and Dashboard

Resolved an issue which sometimes caused unexpected crashes.

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous fixes and improvements.

Known Issues:

Games Installation

Games that are installed fail to launch. Workaround: If the games are installed to an external drive please copy the game to the internal drive or attempt to delete the title and redownload to fix the launch error.

Display 

We are investigating the inaccurate RGB colors that have been reported when displaying in 4K HDR mode when playing a UHD disc.

Tournaments

  • The left and right navigation for selecting date and time during Tournament creation is currently reversed when the console language is set to Arabic or Hebrew.
  • Left and right navigation in Tournament twists is reversed when the console language is set to Arabic or Hebrew.
  • Left and right navigation in the bracket view of Tournaments is reversed when the console language is set to Arabic or Hebrew.

Users wishing to represent themselves as an avatar can do so by changing their settings under My profile > Customize profile > Show my avatar.
