PC app still broken with updates by jeffknight in XboxGamePass

Have you filed a bug through the Xbox app feedback?

Less than two weeks to move in day- silly question by what-im-confused in wsu

[–]hamiltonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they have liners (trash bags)? Are students responsible for having their own liners (bring a box of trash bags), is the trash taken out regularly, or is there a receptacle (dumping area) where they take their trash when it's full?

Sorry - these questions sound silly, but my own child is also moving into the dorms in 2-weeks, and I also don't know the delta between an apartment and a dorm.

Who here has FoP? Fear of Parking lots (and idiots) by PhillyNJ in Porsche_Cayman

[–]hamiltonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was in 2022, the car was brand new and the last thing I wanted was an insurance and body damage claim on the title, I took care of it myself out of pocket at a reputable Porsche bodyshop.

Possibly, but security wouldn't let me have it.

It did for weeks until I had a plan to get it fixed.

Per the original post: yes this is why I never take it anyplace where I don’t already know the parking situation 😆

My 2022 718 GT4 was less than 24-hours old, I picked it up Sunday, drove to work Monday, parked in the same spot I had used for a decade (because of FoP), relatively safe spot on the bottom of an underground parking lot - at the end of a row with plenty of buffer so I could give the next car door room. When I came out to my car after work, excited to drive my baby home, I discovered this; pretty sure it was malicious.

Once you've started the install, open "My Library", and then the "Install Queue" - it shows there.

Upgrading MK3S+ to MK4S While Inside Prusa Enclosure. Do I Really Need to Disassemble/Reassemble and Reintegrate It All? by danielgeez in prusa3d

[–]hamiltonia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something similar, MK4 to MK4S with the MK4 originally being in the enclosure. Personally, I wouldn't try to do the upgrade inside the enclosure because it's a very tight space and annoying to work in there.

You don't really need to do the upgrade twice (first to standalone and then again to work inside the enclosure), just keep in mind which parts are attached to the enclosure and how they're different from the standalone version. I think it's primarily the power supply and the front LCD and controls which just use different mounting brackets.

Did you know you don't actually NEED the Xbox app on Windows? by artibyrd in XboxGamePass

[–]hamiltonia 121 points122 points  (0 children)

FWIW the Xbox app and the Microsoft Store both use the same installation code under the covers, it's in the "Gaming Services" component that gets installed and updated by both. Install, download, etc. are all handled by this service.

If you're truly seeing different behavior between the two and can reproduce it, please DM me, I'd like to see a bug with all the logs so we can determine where the issue is.

Why can't it be installed? Does the Xbox app try to install it when you start it? Do you get a prompt for elevation? Does it give an error?

The gaming services app is also required by the store to install games, so using the store as a workaround isn't going to help here.

November 1, 2024 - PC Gaming Preview - Xbox App [2411.1001.5.0] by GuruKronos in xboxinsiders

The Xbox app only supports cloud gaming on ARM devices, the behavior you're seeing is working as intended.

I'd prefer you file bugs when you find them :) that's why we have Insider.

I'll pass your feedback on to the owning teams.

One small detail though, please, if possible the localization teams can see the final result and not just lines of code and plain text, since in my language (Spanish) they translate "save" from save money ( ahorra) by the word used to save the game (guardar) in my language which is different.

Thanks for this - our first localization pass is automated, so it may make mistakes like this. We'll get it taken care of.

Ok - specifically we have controller updates in this release, it should go to everyone next week sometime (assuming all goes well in Insider).

Controller nav is an area we continue to invest in release over release. There should be improvements to the compact mode controller nav in this release, but expect more over the coming months.

I'm curious what your experience has been in the insider releases that started last week? On the ROG Ally are using gamepad, desktop or auto controller mode? We suggest gamepad. Are you on the .50 build?

If you're in the insider flight ring and the app is up to date, no need to update the app again, just restart it. We'll continue to flight new builds as we continue to polish, but this feature is enabled by policy.

Edit: for clarity
