In a new post on theXbox Newswire website, Microsoft revealed the latest patch notes for the recent update for those apart of the Insider program.Xbox Insiders get to see updates and other features early, typically involved in testing and providing feedback before it goes live to everyone. Following a new round of feedback from Xbox players, a new improvement has been made to the Alpha ring including a system change that now properly reflects local languages across the console. Microsoft warns that its possible some users participating in the Preview may see “odd” text across the console, which is known as pseudo-loc, or text that has yet to be localized for a certain language or region.
The patch notes from Microsoft also highlight a number of known issues that engineers are aware of but are yet to have a fix. These include issues with theXboxconsole being unable to connect to the user’s network as expected when it boots up as well as other intermittent issues related to audio across the dashboard, games, and other locations. Naturally, Microsoft advises Xbox owners to use the console’s ability to report a problem and include relevant details like when the issue started, what resolutions were tried, and other troubleshooting details.
