    Xbox should never delete your captures without your consent or at least a warning!

    Thank you for your reply.

    I want to clarify several moments:

    1. I mainly capture images, so even with 14 MBs per capture I highly doubt that I could reach the 50 GB limit over two years.

    2. My console now constantly removes new captures, even though it deleted them all a couple of days ago. So either the limit is inaccurate or there is no limit, or it is determined incorrectly.

    3. People are reporting that their new consoles have been doing that from the start, when they only had around 30-40 captures. So again, either limit is inaccurate or something else is going on.

    4. My console now randomly removes some images from internal storage and some from Xbox network - so now two storages are suffering and neither is stable.

    5. I saw reports of people having issues with OneDrive as well, when captures were not uploaded, even though the process have started, and then captures were deleted by the console itself.

    6. What is the point of deleting my captures manually if the console is doing that just fine? I don't want to delete them, I want to preserve my gaming history.

    7. I tried connecting an external HDD to the console, and at one time it just magically vanished from Captures app, so I couldn't even access my captures, even though it was clearly identified in Settings and set as a capture destination. It was remedied by console reboot.

    8. I have reports of people disabling uploads to Xbox Network, and the console would still delete the captures - meaning they will be lost forever.

    So to sum up, there is no one clear, stable and reliable way to store captures on Xbox consoles, as either approach may lead to you losing all or some captures.

    This should be addressed as a real and serious issue by Microsoft and fixed with a firmware probably. And Microsoft should not offer questionable workarounds and just fix what is broken.

    You ought to escalate this to the technical department.

    Re: Community - Family Point Sharing

    Microsoft Rewards family point sharing was disabled at the start of June with no more news on it...there is some confusion as to whether this was done so it could be updated etc or if it was removed for some other reason. I have seen a screenshot of a support ticket reply from Rewards support and even they didn't seem to know what the future of it was nor the reason for it's removal

    Then again, I have also seen screenshots of the Community tab saying "maintenance". WHo knows if or when it's coming back

    Spawn of Duty!

    Played domination yesterday night and got to watch them spawn on our flag even when they had one of their own. What's the point of capturing flags if their just gonna spawn right on them

    Screenshot issues.

    When i open the home button to take a screenshot, it doesn’t work. And when using the capture and share tab it doesn’t work when i click on the capture screenshot button.

    BF3 - Back to Karkand (Wake Island gameplay)

    Remember 12v12 conquest, two jets and a chopper each team means 8v8 on ground. 5 capture points, even 4 capture points leads to a really crummy game. Actually, Conquest in general on console sucks. Also, I noticed the chopper had 35% health and was recovering.
    I wonder if the vehicle disable percentage was lowered or if they decided to remove it in B2K.
