Starting at 2:00 p.m. PDT today, members of the Xbox One Preview Alpha Ring will begin receiving the latest Xbox One system update (1805.180504-1920). Read on for more about the fixes and known issues in the latest system update.

Fixes:

Audio

• We have fixed the issue with users encountering a loss of Audio playing Final Fantasy XV.

 Apps

• We have fixed additional launch and activation issues in certain apps.

Display 120Hz

• We have fixed issues in which certain users could not select 120Hz on certain displays when color depth was set to anything but 8-bit.

Games

• We have fixed stability issues in the network configuration that resulted in certain games crashing under certain network conditions.

GameDVR Clips

• We have fixed an issue that caused uploading to live clips in 4k to 1080p fail.

Microsoft Edge

• Fixed issues with Microsoft Edge failing to take the user to the correct settings under certain conditions (etc. overscan border settings)
• Fixed issues with the stability of Microsoft Edge crashing under certain user scenarios.

My Games and Apps

• After any cold boot or silent boot, if the console is put into Instant On, it has a chance of having no background downloads of Apps or Games working until waking the console from Instant On again.

Network

• We have fixed issues when Users may get randomly signed out from Xbox Live if they get a connectivity hiccup. This would also boot/kick users out of whatever game they’re playing with a message like “you must be online to play this game”.

Party Chat

• Fixes to the stability of Party chat.  Users will no longer lose audio from certain games while a party chat session is open.

Virtual Keyboard

• Fixed issues with the virtual keyboard disappearing when the user was inputting text.

Wi-Fi

• We have fixed issues with users loosing Wi-Fi coming out of Instant-On.

Known Issues:

Audio

• Some users may experience intermittent loss of Audio with certain configurations of AV receivers with ATMOS or with changing audio configurations during console use.
• We are investigating reports of loss of audio in some games when resuming from Instant-On.  Please file feedback when this occurs.

Pi-hole

• Pi-hole users may encounter issues signing in, creating, or recovering accounts upon downloading the 1804 update. This is due to a new configuration file which is downloaded from a URL Pi-hole blocks by default.
• Workaround: Add clientconfig.passport.net to the Pi-hole allowed IP address list.

Profile Color

• Sometimes users may encounter an incorrect Profile color when powering on the console.

Networking

• Work continues on the stability of the Wi-Fi connectivity.  If you see any issues please report the problems for investigation.

YouTube

• Some users are encountering an issue where their YouTube account is being signed out whenever they launch the app.
  
  • Workaround: Uninstall/re-install the app and sign in with your account again.

Japan’s weekly gaming magazine Famitsu has revealed that the Switch version of Okami HD will be released on 9th August. A limited edition, priced at ¥3,990, will be available alongside the standard edition (priced at ¥2,900). Sadly, there’s no news on whether this special edition will be making it to the West just yet.

For those new to the title, Okami is a beautiful ‘Sumi-e’-style adventure, where you take control of the sun god, Amaterasu. Special abilities are summoned by making various strokes with the titular celestial brush. Whereas in the past, players have had to use traditional inputs, Wii owners were able to conjure these powers using gestures made by the Wii remote.

With both the portability and touchscreen inputs, Okami HD on Switch may be set to make waves once again, and western release hopefully should be around the same time.

Let us know if you’ll be adding this classic videogame to your Switch collection when it arrives later this year…

Game Director Christopher Barrett:

Now that Warmind has officially launched, we’re ready to add some additional details to the upcoming roadmap. There are a lot of eagerly awaited updates that are scheduled to arrive in September, and we’ll tell you more about those in the coming months, including our plans for year two of Destiny 2. But this summer won’t just be spent playing the waiting game. We’ll be delivering the Prestige modes you’ve been waiting for, bringing back Bounties, providing quality of life fixes, and more. In addition, we’re launching a new seasonal event called ‘Solstice of Heroes’ where Guardians will celebrate their accomplishments and, of course, earn sweet new rewards.
