    Please improve handling of games on HD


    Hi,

    so I have a lot of games and need to organize them using one or two external USB HDDs. I have several issues which I think need some improvements/changes because they drive me nuts and I am sure others as well:

    1) Two different views for more or less the same task.

    When selecting a storage device, you can either "view contents" or " move or copy". This opens two different views with also different details on the games. This should be consolidated into one UI as it is more or less the same task the perform. And what is worse, you can only handle serveral games at once if you select "move or copy". The problem with this view though is that it is lacking info. While "view contents" shows info like "gamepass" or "gold", this info is missing in the "move" view which is annoying if you store GP games on HDD1 and all other games on HDD2. Also filter options are missing in the "move" view. Therefore please do consolidate both views into one view with all options.

    2) backing our from queue after moving quits app

    If I move a game to a different HDD, the view switches to the queue view. If I press B to return to the previous view to continue moving games, the app is being quit. Not fun. Please return to the previous view including same location and let me continue managing my games.

    3) moving several games opt. for X/S does not work

    My internal (fast) storage is limited, therefore I need to store my games on my external HDDs which are not suited to run games opt for X/S (I get that). Moving an optimized game there displays a dialogue telling me that I cannot run it from there. However moving several games at once and moving away from the box (because watching a progress bar is kind of boring) will fail as for each optimized game the dialogue will be displayed, cover the previous dialogue and therefore (I guess) just cancel the dialogue. The result is that the game/dlc will not be moved and has to be moved one by one. Very annoying.

    4) updating optimized X/S games on external HDD does not work

    If an X/S game on an external HDD needs an update, it will not be applied on the location where the game is stored but instead the *whole* game is downloaded again on the internal HDD. This is a major waste of bandwith, not to mention the wasted storage and time to clean this up. Please update on the drive where the game is installled.

    Is this the right place to post this or are there better places to provide this feedback?

    Regards

    :)

    RESIDENT EVIL REMAKE COMING TO XBOX ONE!!!!

    just gonna point out it is not a remake, it is a HD REMASTER so it is the same game that was released in 1996 but with improvements.

    EVERYONE That has a Xbox One Please Read

    Nice video but I'd rather they continue their focus on things like tools for devs.

    The new external HD

    New apps and improving the tools that improve gaming and watching TV or using the Kinect.

    Sticks Are So Sensitive

    This can be an issue with the game as well how it handles the input from the controller sticks.

    I've not personally had an issue, but they are always working on improvements.

    I generally use the handling upgrades first , then go with power . Just improving the handling can take a fair amount of time off a lap .
