Help: Preview Program Brightness Problem

I don't know where to post this since I think they got rid of the Preview Forum.

On the 8th I downloaded the latest preview update, and now my games and apps experience this weird switch in brightness. Fallout 4 is the worst one. Going into a dark area makes the game have normal brightness, but going somewhere well lit makes the brightness
go WAY up to the point it's nearly unplayable.

I've noticed smaller shifts in brightness in Netflix and Shadow or Mordor as well. I'm not the only one experiencing this problem either. There are a couple more in the Bethesda Fallout 4 forums as well.

I for real can't stand to play my games right now because of this. If I could get some kind of official response that Microsoft is aware of this problem that'd be amazing (but I doubt that'll happen).

You both should now be able to access the Preview Program forums. Feel free to head over there when you have time to let the proper teams know what you're experiencing. This way you can receive support catered to you from our community. Thanks in advance!

 

Preview Program Problem HELP!

Hi Hydro

I still need this problem to be fixed but like you said i cannot access the forum to the preview program ..... At this point im getting frustrated and i need assistance

 

Hi, the preview forums are very much alive and kicking, if you can access the link below.

forums.xbox.com/.../default.aspx

I believe the issue is a known issue which will get fixed but by all means post on the preview forum or use the tools on your xbox to report the issue.

 

Thanks for the reply, but why does it say:

Group Not Found

whenever I try to view that page? That's why I assumed the Preview Forums were gone.

 

Hi

Please try the link below if this link also does not work then you will probably have to wait for one of the support team to check and add permission to view the preview forums.

forums.xbox.com/.../default.aspx

 

Having the same issue. Here's a clip:
account.xbox.com/.../c47dd41c-e740-4517-99ab-153e55ac5b58

There doesn't seem to be any trigger to when this screen overlay happens, it just comes and goes. Ruins the gameplay experience.

 

Hi there,

I'm part of the preview program as well and have been experiencing the same issues after the last update.

I've filed a feedback report via the console and like EggsBoxJuan mentions it seems to be a known issue.

Been doing some testing by changing from "PCRGB" and "Standard" in the Video output settings for the colour range and this "gamma/brightness" flicker does not occur on the "PCRGB" setting for me but the caveat is that you'll get very "crushed" blacks on
your display unless your TV can handle full range RGB mode. Hopefully they'll patch this in the next update but it seems to be related to the "Standard" output which has always worked fine for me up until now.

 

As a side note, if you cannot access the preview forums be aware that you must enrol your xbox into the latest preview even if you were previously enrolled into the earlier previews, if you launch the Xbox Preview dashboard app, select the registration option
and enrol for the latest xbox experience preview then once the Xbox is enrolled you should be able to access the preview forums.

 

Yes same here. Very annoying.
