I thought the same, but I only see the game as 6.5gb of data. I have my power mode on instant on already.

I fixed it by doing a hard reset (holding power button down until shutdown) Thanks, oh and I seen some of your FortressCraft videos, really creative, man
Thank you, much appreciated. Glad you are sorted.
Um every time me and friends hold X Y B or A to get the sub menus the primary aspect of the button happens. Like holding B to bring up landing gear will engage boost
Same thing happening to me. Holding the B button down for example won't show the sub menu anymore to drop landing gear, cargo scoop etc. I can still hold B and push down for landing gear but it's Impossible to drop landing gear without activating the boost and no on screen visual to show which option I am selecting.
Before the update, holding any X,Y,B or A would show a sub menu on screen, but that's disappeared now.
Hoping there's a fix for this soon
I looked at the button lay out last last night and everything seems to be set up as before (hold X and D-pad left or B and D-pad right etc) and the buttons still work as they used too, but there's no on screen text when holding down any of the 4 controller buttons.
So holding X and pushing D-pad left to get the left panel menu will also deploy hardpoints at the same time or B and D-pad down will drop landing gear but also activate boost. Not good when approaching a station haha
Seems like it's not recognising that im holding the button down and not just pressing it.
I'll have a look later at your suggestion, it's probably something simple I missed.
Cheers
This controller glitch is driving me nuts right now, on top of every NPC being a Grim Reaper. The universe is falling, literally space is glitching up while I fly, I have curtain of pixels on every side, no longer the beautiful expanse of space.
I must say though, I love the starport services updates, Crazy Awsome!
Looks like you were right neonox thanks man.

Hello fellow commanders, I am new to these formums, so be patient with me.
I've been playing for a few weeks now, I really enjoy the game. I've already got myself an Imperial Cutter for trade, an FDL maxed out and a Cobra for buzzing around.
I figured out early on that trading is a must for being able to make enough credits to enjoy the big ships, so I went from hauling 60T in my cobra to type6, type7, type9, and grinded out imperial missions to get an imperial cutter. It's a dream trading in that coming from a type 9.
I enjoy a lot of the new features from yesterday's update. I love the new mission menus, the outfitting menus as well. Being able to bookmark on the Galaxy map, is something I never thought of, but it's one of my new favorite features. I also really enjoy the new 4A weapons to choose from, especially the gimballed pulse laser and the gimballed multi cannon. It gives me a lot better options on the Huge hardpoint of m FDL. I'm going back and forth between the MC and pulse laser, can't decide which I like more.
I noticed sometimes certain areas of space are all messed up looking, all multicolored and pixelated. I read someone mention that above. Running betwen two stations trading, I noticed sometimes it goes away when you jump. And sometimes it sticks around for awhile.
The other bug I've noticed is I was in a Haz RES last night, testing out the weapons, and a couple of times the inside of my cockpit went all "blotchy". It would black out certain things when the blotches would go over them. Like the radar, communications and info on your HUD. The blotches would move though as you were moving, they weren't stationary. It was almost like a shadow thing with the asteroids or something, when it happens. It would go away after maybe 10 seconds or so, and be back to normal. It happened probably 4-5 times during the hour or so I was in the site. It's kind of pain when your maneuvering around to get behind an enemy and you can't see your radar.
Anyways, I love the game, I can wait for horizons. I'll be on here from time to time communicating, it's nice to meet you all.

I'm getting the same, also the AI is ing ridiculously hard now. I'm getting
on in my vulture. I guess its back to trading rares for me.Yes I've noticed the AI is much improved. I used to never drop shields in my FDL, unless it was an anaconda or fed corvette, or group of enemies. That's without even using SCB's. Now the enemies have a lot more firepower, and I have to watch my shields much closer. I notice them using chaff a lot more as well. It's fun though.
One other thing I forgot to mention, is there some special place we have to go for Naval Ascension Missions now? I made Duke to be able to get the Cutter, and was working o federation ranks for the Corvette. I'm on 100% warrant officer, and can't find any Naval Ascension missions. I've been to several different federation controlled stations in several systems, and can't find any. Before, when I got to 100%, I would just hop systems and find one right away.

Try going to a system/station you're allied with and check there.

I noticed the increased difficulty too. Normaly im fine with a challenge. But, when they make it so a simple eagle or cobra becomes invincible do to an increase in maneuverability that isnt possible. Hell i even went up against an anaconda that was out maneuvering me even though i have an A rated conda to the point i couldnt even shoot it. The local police even helped me out and i noticed that in a 25 min fight the conda was using shield cell banks every 20 seconds and never droped shields. Please take a look at this. Ive also heard a few of my friends giving up on combat ranking do to the new AI.
From my perspective, the game crashes after a certain period of time of high activity (doing lots of jumps, a long series of interdictions, multiple trade missions, etc). Once I start seeing the blocks & box (digital blocks/pixelated box), that's when I know to do a hard reboot to clear up the Xbox RAM. For me at least, since the update, I'm averaging a hard reboot every 2 hours of non-stop playing. You're not alone if you think the crashes happen too often. Their frequency is pretty bad. Last year, during the Xbox Game Preview Program for ED, the crashes weren't this bad. But, it's safe to say that Frontier always comes through for the Xbox community and fixes it in a timely fashion. They fixed the crashing issue during the preview program. They'll fix this one, too. So, if you don't mind sacrificing 1 to 2 minutes of playtime, after every 2 hours hold that Xbox console power button 10 seconds to shut it down, unplug the power supply from the back of the console for another 10 seconds, power it back up and you'll be good to go! See ya out there!

I've had similar issues, resulting in planning shorter bursts of gaming with scheduled distractions to keep the 'box off for a bit. I don't think it's a RAM issue though, I believe that the GPU is overheating and that's why the visual bugs develop. It seems like the pattern for me is play for a bit, eventually do something visually heavy, like lots of jumps, or drop onto a body to drive the SRV, and that's when I get the blackouts on the dash, or sectors of sky matrixing out, or ... actually those are really the only two bugs I get that are really noticeable, and soon after the game crashes. The other week it was a heat wave in my city, rendering the game nearly unplayable, 'cause my setup is out in the garage and benefits from no climate control, I haven't had time to run the tests, but I think I'll find if I can keep the console cool it will prevent the glitches.
