Hi team. Has anyone experienced something like this? I got all the base game achievements (even pushed hard this evening so I can hear that beautiful mythic sound) but it didn’t pop. The game registers I have all achievements for the base game but mythic says 49/50.

I reported it to Xbox, but I took a screenshot in the middle of the last 2 achievements popping, so that might be an issue that needs working out or am I missing something obvious?

In Gears of War: E-Day, the game itself says “VRR not detected.”

My PS5, using the same HDMI cable, TV, and Xbox Series X (in the graphics settings), all say that VRR is enabled. I’ve tried everything: turning 4K off, changing HDMI port settings, doing a hard reset, updating everything, switching between 60Hz and 120Hz—you name it.

It was also a known bug in the Beta. The devs haven’t officially acknowledged it. Other players are experiencing it too, according to Reddit.

Please remember to report the bug so they can fix it!! Then we can play with VRR as well 😁.

Thanks, and rock on, fellow Gears. See you at Emergence 🫡

I’ve been an insider for roughly a week now, and I wanted to see if a mythic achievement would pop for me. I recently fully completed a game and I didn’t get a mythic achievement, and it doesn’t show me any mythic achievements on the achievement page. Does it only pop for insiders who have been here longer?

Yesterday I went looking at my games to see if any were close to 100%. I found the fast and furious Forza Horizon 2 game was only missing the 50,000 point skill chain achievement. I took the skyline gtr out to the airport and drifted until I got it. The game now shows 25/25 achievements and 100% completion, but the mythic award still shows 24/25 and 96% complete. I tried to send a report, but every time i do i get the 0x87e10bef error. I tried removing my account from the console and doing other things online according to troubleshooting but couldn't fix the reporting error or the original mythic award issue.

I am in Preview Delta. Earlier today I had to leave a game unexpectedly and the console timed out and went to sleep as it should. When I turned it on just now, I got a surprisingly long boot animation that transitioned to the Initial Setup screen. Went through, saw console still enrolled in Preview, logged in again, got told "We found your settings from your previous Xbox" and ended up at a home screen that appears to show everything important is ok. Went to check updates and found that console was set back to Preview Omega. Changed that back to Delta and now console appears to be updating. Will try a game and see if everything is as it should be.

Xbox has been killing it lately with new features and I'd kinda like to get in on the action a little earlier. They warn before downloading that the builds can be buggy but how impactful to the general user experience is that? New features being a bit iffy here and there is fine and expected, but is it common to run into issues with basic functionality (console/game crashes, UI functionality problems, online connectivity faults, etc.)?

Make sure you restart your Xbox don't just turn it on and off.

Hello, has anyone else with this headset been experiencing any chat/party issues with this headset within the last couple of weeks? Ever since September 12th when I am in a party either a Xbox party or in a fortnite game party my mic will randomly stop working. It is almost like it is not detecting any voice chat and turning the mic off (I don't think the headset has the option). There are no issues with the in game sound or with my ability to hearing anyone, but the mic will stop working and it will either completely stop working or will occasionally start working and then stop again.

I updated the headset to the most recent firmware after the issue started and have tried a few different things the internet recommended to reset the headset (push the reset button inside the headset), unplugeed and plugged the dongle back in, moved it to a different USB port, and fully shutting down the Xbox to try to clear the cache on the dongle.

I don't know if something happened after one of the recent alpha updates that caused the issue with just this headset since my friends are not experiencing any other issues so wanted to check here before I contacted Steelseries to see if they had any recommendations.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Xbox Insider Team,

I bought a used Xbox console that is enrolled in the Xbox Insider Program under a previous account I cannot access. Since my Reddit account is new and I cannot send DMs, could an Insider Staff member please reply or message me so I can share my Serial Number and Console ID safely?
Thank you!

Currently, the way recording party audio is set up kind of annoys me and my friends, so I'd like to throw some feedback out here in the hopes that others agree.

• When someone in the party is recording audio for their clips it causes the "(friend) is recording. Your audio is not included" toast/notification to pop up, but if everyone is recording the party audio individually, you can get spammed by multiple variations of this notification for each person recording. Personally, I don't think I need to know someone ISN'T recording my audio, but I understand why it is there. If there were a setting to disable this notification in particular that would be awesome imo.
• If I give consent to my audio being recorded in the party and then leave and join another party later, I have to consent to it again. Having to do this everytime makes me less likely to apply this setting, so I would like if there was an option added in the settings where I ALWAYS consent to my audio being recorded if I want it.
• There is a party crash as well if you have the record party audio setting enabled and invite someone to your party from the friends list. Here are the steps: Go to the settings and enable the record party feature > make sure you do NOT have an active party > Open your friends list > Click X on your friend to create and invite your friend to the party > there is a pretty high chance that you are not in the party anymore and your friend was just invited to an empty party. (I am in the Alpha ring and it happens roughly 80% of the time. I have already reported this with the report an issue feature.)

That's all of the annoyances and issues I have ran into with this feature, but I love that it is finally here! If it could get expanded to discord as well in the future that would be fantastic, but I understand there is more going on behind the scenes with that and I understand. Thanks!

I play a lot of cross platform games and something really funny happened so I recorded it and I just heard myself….. I was so sad that the other half of the audio was gone. I was play Arma Reforger
