Another Xbox One August update started to roll out for Preview Program members.
According to Attack of the Fanboy reported the new update, OS xb_rel_1508-150806-2200, delivers two minor fixes in two different areas. The details were revealed at members only Preview Program forum.
The first fix notifications-which in some locations it does not appear correctly, while the second is a fix to the force-closing of the Party Chat.
The new update can be automatically downloaded on Xbox One owners registered at the Preview Program as long as the console is on Instant-On mode.
Meanwhile, we've previously reported that the Xbox One August update will only deliver minor fixes and will not feature "user facing"changes.
Here's a list of the changes on the Xbox One August Update from SegmentNext:
-Mass Effect Backward Compatibility: When streaming Mass Effect using Twitch through Snap, a black bar is output on the stream output (both in the browser and through the Twitch app).
-Turtle Beach Elite 800X Headset: Participants using this headset are unable to hear the host when moving from one party to another party.
-Xbox Fitness: When resuming from Instant-On mode and with Xbox Fitness suspended, you may encounter a frozen Kinect preview image, and Kinect interaction will not resume.Workaround: Hard reboot the console.
WinBeta added that the update "provides greater exposure" for Xbox One App.
"Microsoft seems to have realized the lack of attention apps were getting and has now updated the system to now feature apps alongside games in the Popular with Friends list. It's a small change but one that will have a significant effect on app usage on the console simply by reminding users that certain apps exist and are more popular than many originally thought."
Meanwhile, aside from the perks of getting their hands on first on the Xbox One August update, Preview Program members have already access to Xbox One's backward compatibility from Xbox 360 which currently features 20 games, while non-members may get this feature on November.
