CHANGES
- Xbox Live Disconnection Issues: This update contains a fix for the previously known issue where users were being disconnected from Xbox Live, and would require a hard-reset to get back online.
KNOWN ISSUES

The preview program is really important to the Xbox community as a whole as it allows those of us that are in the program to identify issues before they are rolled out to the wider community.
So if you are in the program and have experienced issues due to that just keep in mind how many other people you are sparing from experiencing these issues. There are many perks that come with being a part of the program and only rarely do we suffer these kinds of problems.
