My fiancé has been playing Skyrim and it loads so fast. Maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks, but It definitely seems to look a bit sharper than it did on the One X as well.
Ok, makes sense 👌They shrank the standard install by 25GB by removing them, then made it optional to add them back in. So prior to last patch you were playing with them iirc.
There is a mod that unlocks frame rate and the Series X/S run it at 60 FPS btwMy fiancé has been playing Skyrim and it loads so fast. Maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks, but It definitely seems to look a bit sharper than it did on the One X as well.
It's designed to do both. The one side has nubs on it for when you lay it horizontally.Weird question, but how is the console for those who have put it on its side? Im sure it will be fine, but was just a little concerned because they always show it upright
While the Series S is comfortably quiet, it is hotter than I expected when running games. And to be clear, the hot comes specifically from the big black vent array ring, which makes perfect sense. But still, it's definitely more than 'warm', especially comparing to the top of Series X. Anyone observing the same?

Thanks for confirming. Yeah, I'm fine with it and so far I've yet to see any issues.Yes, it gets pretty warm. DF mentioned this also. I don´t have any problems while if it doesn´t harm the system.

Yeah I was surprised too but when I checked every other part of the system it was room temp. Additionally the heat went away two mins after I shut down the xsxWhile the Series S is comfortably quiet, it is hotter than I expected when running games.

I can't even tell it's there, especially if I curve it so I can't see it where I sitit's been fine here, would of liked the option to remove the base, but it's not had any issues
Thanks for this info, I was considering starting over on the X if the framerate was consistent. I'm not surprised though, the fps is all over the place on PC too but with g-sync it looks smooth.Disappointed at the No Man's Sky optimization patch. Having a couple dozen recent hours in the game on my One X, it is easy to see that the performance is a mixed bag. Comparing the One X performance mode against the Series X with optimization patch, some areas are improved while others are the same or noticeably worse. My first base, a single 2x2 house with a handful of indoor and outdoor machines, is built on a grassy planet with big trees. On the Series X, this base incurs a constantly inconsistent frame rate, which feels like 40-60 fps. A few planets I checked, with little flora, seem to run far better than before. I'm hoping this can be patched.
I forgot to mention that pop-in doesn't appear to be improved. On planets without much floral cover, entire areas are blank. It seems pretty close to what it was before. I had three medium refineries and four nutrient processors running (outside in a grassy area, along with a small building and some other building elements like a base computer, storage, and a warp portal) and the slowdown was quite apparent. The next generation trailer must have been produced on PC.Thanks for this info, I was considering starting over on the X if the framerate was consistent.

Should be good with VRR though, has anyone tried that?
Am I correct in still believing that you can't gain achievements with mods on?Just read about the Uncap FPS mod on Skyrim that performs an ini tweak to allow the game to run at 60 fps. It seems to be an older mod. Looks good on the Series X, though.

You may have to enable it on your TV as well.I can't get Series X to turn on and off my TV. With the Xbox One it always worked via IR blaster. But Sx only had CEC, and tried on TCL 2018 Series 6.
Same. Every other device I have does it, but not the XSX.I can't get Series X to turn on and off my TV. With the Xbox One it always worked via IR blaster. But Sx only had CEC, and tried on TCL 2018 Series 6.
On a single account i could pull about 25 a month.How long did it take to earn that many gift cards? that's insane.
I checked out the reward system, and it would take months of bing searches/quizes to nab a £25 gift card.
Completely normal for both of them to be emitting hot air. In fact that's a very good sign. You definitely want the heat being removed, rather than trapped inside the system, because the SoC will be generating some serious heat.I posted this early. The speaker grill vent def gets a little toasty. If that's how it's supposed to be that's fine though.
It would be a good move for customers but honestly if MS wants to push game pass subs raising their game prices and leaving game pass priced as is would kinda be a win win for them.MS should outright declare they won't increase game prices this gen. Would be a huge win for them but guessing they are considering it which sucks if they haven't said anything yet.
Why did they change the battery size from play and charge kit. I had one that now won't work.
Not sure where my eneloop went. I think the kids toys were using them.
They shrunk the whole controller slightly which I'm guessing is the cause.Why did they change the battery size from play and charge kit. I had one that now won't work.

Wait what? I didn't know I needed a new play and charge kit 😵Why did they change the battery size from play and charge kit. I had one that now won't work.

Do you have game mode enabled in your tv settings?Final Fantasy 15, much like Jedi Fallen Order, is completely unplayable for me in non-60fps, its so horribly stuttery espcially when you move the camera around, it doesnt matter how crisper the image quality is, its so distracting you dont even notice the better image quality, you're too focused on the awful frame rate. And also like Fallen Order, it's buttery smooth in 60fps mode.
Seriously I don't know if this is a OLED thing or what, but its these two games specifically because I never had an issue with 30fps games before, hell I was always more of a console player than PC all my life, but goddamn.
Is 30fps more noticiable on OLED, are these 2 games just more jarring for whatever reason, what's going on?
Can someone please check it for me?Do any of you have framerate inconsistencies while playing Gears 5 on Series S? I am talking about the Act IV, Chapter 1. Thanks.
Makes sense, thanks
