Now, Microsoft has recently announced that there will be a free game for those who needed their Xbox One Cone consoles replaced.

Here are some more Xbox One problems with some fixes, and one that is more serious and has not yet been discussed by Microsoft as of yet.

TV Judders

Another problem that European users of the Xbox One are encountering includes what has now been termed as the "TV judders." However, this is an issue where Microsoft has not yet released any official statements about it.

Digital Spy points out the problem being that the Xbox One runs at 60Hz and most European telecasters are only at 50Hz. Hence the extra frame causes the jump in the screen that compromises the quality.

The report has suggested a fix for this issue, albeit more manual than what is expected of the Xbox One as a next-gen console. When watching TV, match the frame rate to 50HZ and just dial it up a notch to 60Hz to avoid sacrificing image quality.

Party chat issues

The Xbox One's party chat feature also suffers from a few setbacks, as there are some users who could only connect to the Xbox Live, but the connection with other friends does not push through.
