Hey Guys and Gals,

This is part one of two mini-updates we’ve been working on for the month of December. We’ve been implementing a variety of bug fixes and general improvements to the Abominable Snowman update, and wanted to pass them along to you as soon as possible.

We want to thank all of you for continuing to give us your feedback.  This list of improvements was based heavily on making sure we react to the feedback our community provides:

• External Storage Open Beta bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue that prevented gamers from installing large games (like The Cave) to external storage.

  • Fixed an issue where gamers could get stuck on an orange screen when booting with external storage plugged in.

  • Fixed an issue where gamers could not download from the browser to the internal drive.

  • Fixed an issue where sometimes an external drive would report out of space when it wasn’t.

  • Fixed an issue where the OUYA as MTP storage was showing up empty

  • Fixed an issue where sometimes gamers could get stuck on the ejecting USB prompt.

• Based on gamer and developer feedback, we’ve moved the icons for installed and buried games down to the title bar.  That way they don’t cover up any tile art.

• Gamers can now bury installed games.

• The BUY button now shows in Game Details for all gamers.  Previously it was being A/B tested. Data and feedback showed that it was a good improvement for gamers so we’ve enabled it for everyone.

• Fixed an issue in the advanced settings where gamers couldn’t scroll down after backing out of a menu.

As a point of note, we’re also actively looking at a resolution to XBMC audio passthrough issues. This build doesn’t yet have a fix, but it’s a high-priority item for us.

If you don’t get this update right away, please go to MANAGE -> SYSTEM -> SYSTEM UPDATES in order to run it.

Thanks for your continued support and look out for another set of fixes later in the month!
