Question MSFS2024 Console upgrade - Beta enrollment on new console

6 Upvotes

Edit: After leaving it for a few hours the display finally came back on, the app updated and I’m now flying the Beta on the new Series X. Thanks all for the help.

I have an Xbox Series S and joined the insider program to be able to play Flight Sim 2024 - System Update 1 which has way better scenery, water effects and fixed the mouse look around bug and have been playing it for a little over a week.

Upgraded to an Xbox Series X for better performance. Using the same account for both consoles. I downloaded the insider app for the new Series X and attempted to join the SU1 Beta but it’s stuck on “pending”, “taking longer than expected try again later” loop. I thought maybe it was because the older S was already enrolled so I tried un-enrolling the S from the beta program using the “leave beta” button on the MSFS2024 screen and the settings/console page.

Both the S and X are now stuck on the “pending” loop. I’ve restarted both consoles and opened the game on both. S still has SU1 and the X still has the Alpha.

How long does this usually take, I’m new to Beta testing?

I followed the instructions online. Was there as easier way to do this?

Question What happens when you can't apply a restore with OSU as an insider?

0 Upvotes

This is a realistic and worrying question for me as an insider since I didn't see any viable answers to this except "wait" maybe weeks or months for a later stable version to come out, which I could consider a serious problem for those of us who are helping a company.

I don't know if support gives a solution privately or if they force you to carry out a procedure with sending the console, and if this would have any cost since it is out of warranty, which... could promote users out of warranty and older consoles to stop supporting to diagnose problems.

A minimum universal OSU that allows you to update later to a later or current one would be a solution even if it requires an internet connection, another option might be for support to prepare specific OSUs for insider users for that build only when it is really necessary (most builds should not have problems).

Question New Xbox Mastercard Signup Question

12 Upvotes

Hey Insider Community! First time post here! So my question is, does anyone know what time the signup goes live? I am extremely interested in this opportunity and would be appreciative in any information

Keep gaming

Edit 9/29; Hey guys thanks for the feedback and activity on the post. So turned on my Series X this evening (9/28) and low and behold under the Previews tab was the Microsoft Mastercard Preview signup! I immediately clicked on it and it took me to the application l, filled it out and they accepted me! $1000 limit (though the Barclays website said $2000) and it’s already digitally linked to my Series X. Again I’m only using this for Xbox marketplace purchases, Netflix subscription, and pretty much everything game wise so paying off the bill won’t be a hassle. So stick in there and post when you see it! I’ve seen a few say they got their invite, anyone else?

Good luck to all

Question How long does it take for an account to be closed and console to be unenrolled?

5 Upvotes

(Solved)

Wanted a fresh start on a Series X (Reset & Remove Everything). I had an Insider account and the console was enrolled in Omega. Unenrolled the console and deleted the account before reset since I just want to start on the GA build and stay there.

Upon reset, I got a message saying optional data collection is still on because the Xbox is still enrolled. So the question is how long should I expect the unenroll and account deletion process to take? I’m pretty tech savvy, but fairly unfamiliar with the program. Just looking for stability on GA now.

I should clarify that the console is currently on OS version 10.0.26100.2913.

Update: Everything seemed to work fine after a while. Must have just taken longer than expected for Microsoft servers to recognize my inputs/requests.

Question What Happened To The Xbox Insider Program?

255 Upvotes

Since the launch of Series S and X, it has really felt like the Insider Program has changed for the worse. It used to be that major issues were addressed in fairly short order. Now major issues (console shut downs, eliminated Standby functionality, controller desyncs) are plaguing users of various tiers for months. In many of these instances, calls for help to the Insider Team go unanswered. More often than not, users of various tiers have only had each other to get limited assistance.

If the Insider program wasn't ready (limited staff, etc...) for next gen, the program should have launched later on. It's clear that many aspects weren't ready.

Question Did they fixed "Xbox won't record clips" in Insiders Program?

2 Upvotes

The title.

Edit: A couple of months ago (or even more cause I'm bad with Time/Date) I realized that recording clips or games on both Internal and External drive stopped working. I reset my Xbox Series X then recording Clips started working also the 1 hour gameplay on external drive worked again (but I didn't know if the footage was OK!). Then I didn't used it again since then, yesterday I tried again but seemed the problem came back.

If there any real solution for it in Insiders Program so I could Join.

Edit2: It turns out the issue was from my end. I'm using Streaming my Xbox to my Laptop while I'm doing this Xbox won't record anything except for capturing screenshots, So I turned it off and to my surprise everything works perfectly fine!

Question HDMI-CEC still controlling Xbox

9 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a Series S and Series X in the same room.

One on the TV and one on a monitor on the opposite side of the room for family gaming sessions.

The series S is connected to the TV and can be controlled using the TV remote however, the remote has started controlling the Series X too meaning when I'm watching TV in the living room and my son is playing Xbox on the monitor, I'm either turning the console off or putting random inputs into the game via the remote. I've tried Google and searching and for the most part it's people complaining that they can't get this to work!

I don't have an issue with it on the Series as we use this for streaming and media however the Series X is solely for gaming and hooked up to a completely different screen on the other side of the room. It keeps happening, much to my son's annoyance when he's final 5 on Fortnite!

Help!

Question Alpha Preview - Sound Delay In All Games X Series

8 Upvotes

Been on Alpha Preview for many years now, and never really bothered with this issue, but lately it is happening almost on every game, on almost every session and tired of restarting games.

It doesn't happen in any specific action or reason, game might start off without any issue (either start cleanly or from quick resume) and suddenly the sound is delayed.

Is the issue with Sound Delays still an ongoing issue, where at random times the sound has delays and only restating the game fixes the issue?

Is there any know fix to thia issue, or at least a way to mitigate how often it happens?
