Forza Motorsport 6 Challenge - 2016

[Flex]

The screenshots thing on Xbox One has generally a bit of a disaster if you ask me. I also struggle constantly, usually you need to take a screenshot and open that screenshot app and leave it open for like 20 minutes. Only then do you get the additional menu options to upload it to onedrive etc. I think it first tries to upload it somewhere to XBL servers and if that does not happen you can't share it.

Forza 6s screenshots was also quite a bit more difficult to get it shareable/uploadable.

I have no idea why MS got such a absolute crap sharing system for screenshots, seriously it is terrible.

Feels like I have tried it all and nothing works!

Managing to get 1:46:302 with my Lancer GSR.
Seems like I'll have to dumb down to a Mono to get competitive.

It would have but you've got an amazing time right now. Tried a little bit this morning to beat it but nope, I give up for this week.

So I has my Xbox now

I got Rise of the Tomb Raider with it (which my wife is dying to play). Also, holy shit Forza 6 is expensive!! Cheapest I have seen it so far is at Loot for R820!! The guy I bought the Xbox from also paid R1k for RoTR.

How do you people do it?

Anyhoo, I had this stupid blue box/outline around everything I selected on the menu of the Xbox - some googling luckily informed me to turn the narrator off (I didn't have the sound on at the time).

BUT, sound does bring me onto my second problem. Audio. The Xbox has only 1 HDMI out port, and then it has a S/PDIF as well. Now my amplifier does not have audio passthru, only video. So there is no point in taking the HDMI cable to my amplifier, I can just plug it directly into my TV. I can get a S/PDIF cable for the audio to my amplifier, but it does not support multi channel audio on the Xbox, only stereo :/
This basically leaves me with 3 options: HDMI to TV and use the TV speakers for audio (/vomit), get the S/PDIF cable and atleast have much better stereo audio than with HDMI to TV) or get a better amplifier.

Oh yes, since there is no dedicated Xbox chat/question thread that I know of, is Xbox Live Gold worth it? Or should I rather sign up for the free 30 day trial and have a look first?
