Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you would get sound or video at all if there was an issue with the connector on the back of the console?

Most likely neither would work at all...

The damage is very slight so I'm guessing that this is the issue !

Use one of these DAC's in link below. I used to use it with my original Xbox One.

Or similarly a 3.5mm to Bluetooth dongle plugged into your controller. They are small and light but You'd still probably want to strap it to the controller somehow.

I have 2 * small bluetooth devices (trx and a rx), so plug the trx into the controller and then the bluetooth speaker should pick it up, correct ?

Or as in the previous post, get the box mentioned and connect via the RCA connections, I'm guessing.
cheers folks

I put this in the general gaming forum, and then forgot to put it here.

People have been wondering what Microsofts renewed commitment to PC at E3 meant, and now we're starting to see the first indications of it. Recent Windows Insider builds came with "Gaming Improvements", along with a free test of State of Decay. Turns out that it's the Xbox version of the game running on PC, rather than a PC specific version like you'd get from the Microsoft store.

See here.

I wonder how that'll be received from the point of view of scaling - as in FOV sliders, resolution etc?

My guess? Current and past games wouldn't have any, but games in the future, built with this in mind? Yeah, totally possible.

It'd still be more restricted than a pure PC game, but they're making a lot of strides on that too, with increased mod support, etc.

Rumour going around that Microsoft acquired Relic Entertainment, the guys that they tapped to develop Age of Empires 4. Makes sense I suppose, but they're not an independent company, they're part of Sega, so Sega would have to want to sell.

Relic also did Company of Heroes, man I loved that game.

Is there any news on AOE4? It will be exclusive to the Microsoft platform so here is hoping they release it on the One X aswell. Very hard to find anything concrete on the game.

Big reveal on the next Inside Xbox apparently. That's partly where the acquisition rumour is coming from, Relic are hiring for an Age of Empires franchise lead or something like that, which implies they've got responsibility for the whole lot now.

I'm in two minds. Theres no campaign, not sure if that matters to you. The multiplayer is great though, and the battle royale mode is also very good.

However, recent updates have made the game look like a free to play game gone mad. Skins for cash, skins that grant bonus xp for kills , rotten looking character uniforms, etc etc. It's like Activision is trying to squeeze every brown cent out of the game.

Honestly, €32 is to high for it. Its not worth that. It was my first COD game in years and after about 3 days I regretted buying it. I knew there was a reason I had stopped playing COD years ago.

Bought cuphead over the weekend

Very difficult but I’m enjoying it a lot

Sometimes just simple concepts work

One minute playing resident evil2 then the next cuphead

A free to play game called One Leaves coming soon it seems.

Inside Xbox is on later today, at 21:00. Big news coming out of it is that Halo:MCC is coming to PC. Not sure if it's a straight port made for PC, or if it's the Xbox on PC thingy that the Windows Insiders are currently testing out with State of Decay 2.

Watching it on Mixer with your Microsoft account gets you a chance to win "One Piece World Seeker", and some Black Desert stuff.

Link for watching it on Mixer here.

If it is coming to PC it would be disastrous if it's a buggy mess at launch again.

I'd assume that they've learned their lesson from the last time, and it seems that the work they've done to fix it was pretty fundamental, I'd assume that it would carry over.

Here's hoping anyway, I could see it building up a pretty good following on PC. I might finally properly get to play the game I bought my OG XB1 for.

I still wonder if Halo Infinite is going to be some sort of revision to the MCC, bringing all halo games in under one launcher? It'd be a ballsy move.

9pm. It is listed as being on at 5pm ET, which would usually be 10pm here but the US is already on DST.

Minecraft is coming to Game Pass

Halo MCC is coming to PC, with full graphics options. On Steam too.

Reach too. Nice. 4k support as well. Multiplayer is free for everyone, Singleplayer is an extra DLC. Both are included in Gamepass.

PC won't arrive with all games, it's split up into separate games, starts with Reach, others to follow

I missed the first 20 mins.
Turned it on when that anime thing was being shown!

Since it's going to steam I presume that means no Xbox Play Anywhere and you have to buy the game again even if you already own it on xbox.

Think it is on Steam as well as Windows Store.

Well it is also available on Windows store so it is play any where. Steam option is for those who do not want windows store which there seems to be a fair amount of people online blabbing on about it all the time.

Here's the recap of everything.

One thing I had missed, the wireless display app is being rolled out. Really thought that it would never see the light of day, it properly disappear for what? Over a year at this stage, I think.
