You'll want to factory reset the box before you give it to him. If you are online when doing that you will get prompted to remove the Home Xbox associated with that console.

Dpulex posted:The OS on xbox is such a piece of poo poo. Why can't this thing connect as easily to hotel internet as the PS4 or switch or any other piece of technology? The MAC trick works sometimes but is often clunky and unreliable. I like the hardware on the X1X, but actually using it is a loving chore sometimes. There is now an automatic captive portal app that should launch a web browser window when it detects you are in a captive portal situation. It may not always work, though. It should pop up after the initial network connection test.

You can check what your TV is telling the Xbox by going to Xbox Settings -> Video Output -> 4K Details. This is helpful to diagnose things like differences between various inputs (which there often are, both in HDR support and maximum refresh rate). You have to have the dashboard set to 4K to see this button.

The problem is game play stuff is usually underwhelming, and filled with cringe-inducing banter from the players, so that doesn't work very well either. And if it's a game you aren't interested in, its a 15 minute coffee break that kills any momentum. It's really not a good forum to show anything other than quick snippets/trailers.

Kramdar posted:I just managed to buy a an Xbox One at a thrift store with the power cord only. I only briefly plugged it into the TV to see if it had picture. I see it has an account on it, and it has the no internet connection error code. Will i be able to reset this thing without any problems? Probably too late on this but if possible try to connect to the internet when doing the factory reset. That will allow that console to be removed as home console for any previous accounts for which it was set. Not a huge deal if you can't, though, as that old account won't be in the box anymore.

If your account doesn't have a home console associated with it, setting up a new Xbox will assign it as your home console automatically. If your account does have a home console set, it won't change it.

The Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers are like the perfect gaming pads imo. I still have a coupled wired 360 controllers I use for my PC. It's only 3% smaller.

Are you sure you're plugged into an input that supports 24Hz? I don't know about the CX specifically but a lot of TVs don't support the same stuff on all inputs. E: nm, sounds like it's fixed

The 4K details page should let you know if the input you are currently plugged into supports 24Hz, at least based on what the TV is telling the Xbox. (There are a surprising amount of TVBs that report incorrect data over that standard, EDID, but I'm assuming the CX being new and high-end that isn't likely to be an issue). Otherwise, the flag just gives apps permission to switch the display rate to 24Hz, so if it's still not working it is likely to be an app issue.

TheScott2K posted:I do kinda think it's weird that there isn't/wasn't some goofy Office365-gated, OneDrive-dependent version of Office on Xbox, especially considering Microsoft's unshakeable obsession with "the living room PC." The platform supports a keyboard and mouse - that and Edge would make the Series S a decent little $300 client for someone. My understanding is that Office gets to do whatever the gently caress they want so they were probably just like "lol no." The thing to keep in mind is a living room PC itself is nothing but profit, as MS doesn't make the hardware. As consoles are usually sold at a bit of a loss, you wouldn't make money on people that didn't buy much software from you and could actually lose money.

I'm looking to get PC Game pass for 3 friends of mine so we can play stuff like Golf With Friends together. I'm going with PC Game pass because they each have Windows 10 PC that can handle the more indie games, but I think only one has a console. But they need Gold as well, right, to make sure we can play multiplayer on PC with games that use XBL as their multiplayer implementation? Does that conversion thing still work? I think the one with the console might have Gold, so I thought I would look into that. Also, I'm assuming the ones with no prior XBL account should sign up for the $1 trial first, before I give them a redeem code. This is all probably more complicated than it should be.

Is it worth setting up my separate throttle as well as flightstick for Squadrons, or will the analog wheel on the stick be enough? The separate throttle seems like it might be overkill.

barnold posted:finally had my first problem with my Series X!! turned the console on, no output at all from the console, tried to turn it off, it made the sound but the power button didn't do the pulsing thing it does when it shuts down and the console just stayed on. had to pull the power cable, plugged it back in and now it works just fine. Weird, I had the same thing happen a couple of times in the last few days. Maybe it's something with the latest OS version. For future reference you can hold down the power button for about 5 seconds and it will hard power off.

The Grumbles posted:I thought I read they might be moving away from the UWP format for Windows 11 - which is responsible for most of the issues - but I'm not sure? The packaging, store, and distribution pipelines are built on tech originally designed with 20MB phone apps in mind, not 70GB monstrosities. It's all being updated but it's a lot of work that has to happen piecemeal and without breaking pre-existing stuff.

Is Avenger's an action brawler-style game? I've been playing Dark Alliance with my 10-year old daughter and it turns out she has the reflexes and killer instinct of Iko Uwais. She likes the Avengers a lot and as long as it's passable fun playing with her is a blast (we've been playing Dark Alliance, after all).

Alternately, just drive a crappy car, like the stock 1985 Ford Escort I used in FH4. The AI will also have crappy cars and turns it's way easier to win races that way.

Disposable Scud posted:That Dark Alliance shitshow has a new update. Is it still awful? It's worth playing with Game Pass. I can't recommend buying it. It released with game breaking bugs, then fixed most of them, then let some game breaking bugs bugs back in, but this update seems to have really fixed them. I can't comment as much on the overall game design beyond the bugs - I haven't played any other action brawlers so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I discovered I really like action brawlers. I also freely admit I that am very biased because this is the first "grownup" game I played all the way through with my ten year-old daughter and it turns out she is a goddamned stone-cold goblin assassin with 80s movie quips at the ready at all times. She is basically Cattie-Brie made manifest in real life, so for me it was magical.

runchild posted:I don’t just mean the main character talking to themselves sometimes. There’s a voiceover telling the story to someone after the fact and it’s constantly recapping the thing that just happened or is literally happening at that moment. Nothing is allowed to stand on it’s own. It’s more egregious than any other AAA I’ve played, and definitely in stark contrast to Control. Jesse reacts to what’s happening and builds on the moment. Hall just sounds like he’s reading from a badly-written biography. Are you sure you don't have the accessibility audio narration feature on or something?
