Instead, it seems that all the updates and constant changes have lead things to be a little slow and dodgy. Heck, I personally run into bugs on a semiweekly basis that force me to restart the system, though I\u2019m probably an abnormal user with tons of game installs and constant play.<\/p>\n<p>This UI slowness complaint isn\u2019t just something nitpicky users are talking about. No, the heads of Xbox are aware and on it as well. Phil Spencer did his usual Twitter responding on Tuesday, and he talked specifically about the UI slowness with one fan. Here\u2019s the tweet, and the tweet before it even indicates that DirectX 12 will be the new system behind the dashboard.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gabrielpina4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@gabrielpina4<\/a> @thekeenpaladin Speeding up the UI is high on our list of improvements we want to make.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/XboxP3\/status\/585470205704318976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 7, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So, \u201cspeeding up the UI is high on [the Xbox team&#8217;s] list of improvements.\u201d That\u2019s fantastic news.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has been great about updating the console\u2019s firmware constantly while listening to consumer feedback.
