Yeah it's definitely not X only. All of my friends that had the issue are on original Xbox Ones

I know there are sometimes issues related to a profile-specific data, which means they follow you to whatever hardware you're using. That sounds incredibly frustrating.
Anyone have any issues with external hard drives on the X? The one I transferred over from my OG went bad after a few days of usage with the X, but it was an older drive so I figured it just died. Got a new one though and that has failed now after a couple weeks of use.
Could just be bad luck but wanted to see if anyone else has hit this.

Ive been using an 2GB external and i have no real issues.
Hey, we all know that Project Scorpio / Xbox One X has a 6 teraflop GPU (that's 6,000 Gflops) right?
But what about the original 2001 XBOX with its Nvidia GPU?
Lets have a look at Microsoft's GDC 2000 XBOX announcement and the specs Microsoft gave us, and then what the final retail XBOX actually had.
GDC 2000 slides:
140.1 GFlops for the XBOX GPU huh? Pretty damn good .. Yeah right, I don't believe you.gif !!
But now lets A.) take away the fudged Nvidia Flops (aka NvFlops) and B.) see what actual floating point performance was with the final clockspeed of the real GPU, from a good source...
What is Xbox One X / Scorpio Engine GPU again?... 6,000 GFlops (6TF).
And the 'real' figure for the OG XBOX GPU: 21.6 GFlops.
So Xbox One X GPU has 277.7 times the raw floating point performance of the original XBOX GPU.
Obviously we're not taking into account the vast differences in architectures between Nvidia's NV2A (XBOX GPU) which was a hybrid of NV20 (GeForce 3) and NV25 (GeForce 4 Ti) and AMD's Polaris architectures, which also spans more than a decade and a half in time. Just the raw, single precision fp32 performance.
Bonus Edit! It is pretty well-known and accepted that Xbox 360's ATI designed 'Xenos' GPU pushes 240 GFlops, which means Xbox One X GPU has exactly 25 times more raw floating point performance of the 360's GPU :)

I can't get my Xbox One X to auto download games that I trigger from Xbox.com I don't know why it's not working. My console is in standby so it should download. Anyone have this working on their XOX?
Hmmm....it should be. I'll need to reconfirm. I did go from and Xbox One S to an Xbox One X. Is there a way to tell from somewhere other than from my console?
Apparently I cant play the fh3 expansions until I finish the main game?? I only got it for the hotwheels exp for my kids
Well...I haven't even come close to finishing it and I have played all the expansions
Yeah, something is off. Should be able to access the content asap.
You have to have unlocked the first (second?) festival location. It's not immediate on a new profile, but it can be done in like maybe a half hour. When you hit that point, you get a radio call and it pops up on your map, and you'll also be able to fast-travel there from the pause menu (on the Hot Wheels/Blizzard Mountain tabs). Your save file keeps you in whichever zone you were last in, so once you get the profile to Hot Wheels, you won't have to worry about getting back there manually.
Yeah I had one die on me, used in a PS4 for six months, then repurposed it for the X, and within 2 months of using it on the X it stopped being recognized (to be fair, the Xbox struggled to recognize it to begin with, leading me to believe it was already defective, until I formatted on a Mac of all things and copied a bunch of junk data to it first). The replacement has been working fine the past month.
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but new version of the Elite Controller is starting to pop up. Obviously a rumor for now, but I wouldn't be surprised if true.

I only have the first two festivals unlocked and I played around in Hot Wheels and Blizzard Mountain last night. You probably just need to unlock the 2nd festival.
I think you just need to unlock the 2nd and then travel to each one to play them.
Yep. I had to mark them on my map then drive on over. Did the first event, then ported back to Byron Bay.
Emulator update if I had to guess, the wrapper is around 700mb iirc.
I didnt notice any tearing on the original BC release. I did a complete playthrough.
Tearing? All BC games have forced vsync, there should be no tearing whatsoever. I also played the game on the standard Xbox One, it had smooth performance and no tearing, just as expected.
I had this issue. I found that when I powered on the Xbox One X and then used my remote to turn on the television, the remote powered off the console. Probably doesn't help, but it could be something to look out for.
Ah I haven't played it since it hit BC. The original 360 one was pretty bad with the tearing from what I remember.
Welp it appears the HDMI connection on my X died sometime in the last two weeks. The system powers on and registers input from the controller, but the signal from the HDMI cable is non-existent. Just went through all the steps of swapping cables, swapping tv/monitor, direct HDMI connection to tv, hold power button for 10 seconds and power down, hold power button and eject button together and wait for second beep to power up in low resolution mode, and nothing works. Just flat out no HDMI signal anywhere or on anything. Think I'm hosed and will have to send it back to Microsoft unless anyone here knows anything else to try. Has this problem been seen before? I swear every piece of electronics these days is just liable to crap out at any given moment. Nothing is reliable. It's really getting old.
I've heard of several with that exact problem. I wouldn't call it widespread but this seems to be one of the more common failures

I only use instant on for current and queued downloads, it has worked without a hitch so far.
I've had Fallout 4 crash a few times on me while going back in a current game in instant on mode.
I had it on my original Xbox One ages ago. It went away with some update eventually, but now has also reppeared for me on the X. It's even more annoying now since going offline and online in the settings doesn't seem to fix it anymore. Gotta do a reset every time.
Just pull the power plug for a minute. Should reboot afterwards. I had this happen twice shortly after I got the console, then never again. Probably some incomplete update.
This sounds like business as usual for my PS4 Pro but I haven't experienced it with my Xbox yet. It just sounds like handshake issues. Often it'll be triggered by the order in which you power things up.
The only HDMI issue I (thought I) had on my Xbox One X is when I would start getting flashes of static every time I tried to watch Netflix, HBO Go, or anything else which activated HDCP.
But then it turned out to be a problem with my receiver, not my Xbox at all. And simply power cycling my receiver fixed it.
So it might be worth checking on whether your receiver is acting up too.

It was actually fun making that post and looking at some of the old material from GDC 2000 on the original XBOX announcement.
I want to sell my S and use the money to pick up an X, but it hasn't been an easy sell. I might've also made a mistake when I traded in the controller that came with it (for a good price during a promotion), because I didn't think ahead enough. Now the only controller I have for it is a custom one, which is inscribed. It's seen some use over the last year, but looks almost new because I'm careful with my things and don't eat or drink while gaming. I'd sell it without worry, but can't because of the inscription. Any ideas on how to cover or take that off without damaging the controller itself much?
I'll probably have to pick up a used one off of Craigslist or something, hopefully for $30, then sell it alongside.

Hi guys
I recently went from possibly sometime wanting an Xbox One X to a definite purchase once I have the money to do that. Normally around a launch of a console I keep track of console faults just so I can monitor if they are more frequent but with this era of hardware refresh I have not.
If I were to go pick up an Xbox One are there any common or major hardware faults that I have to be aware of?

None that I have read/heard of. This system is built like a tank and it shows in the quality of it
It's been a pretty flawless launch from a hardware/software stability perspective. Buy with confidence!
I managed to sell an unopened, fat Xbox One I had bought in Paris in order to purchase an X, which just arrived to some major retailers in my country (Argentina). That said, the excessive price (about $950, after all taxes) made me reconsider. I will now wait for a few months for it to drop (to, at least, around $710-$750: electronics are expensive here) given that AC: Origins is probably the only enhanced title I am anxious to play.
I have seen giant ads in several neighborhoods of Buenos Aires.

The only thing that worries me is buying one now, then regretting it when PS5 and the next Xbox are soon revealed. That'd just be my luck.
They're not going to be revealed anytime soon. 2021 is when I see them being shown and released
Thanks guys, a friend on facebook was messaging me with videos of Xbox One X where they wouldn't turn on - but that could be clever video editing.
There are always faulty units. But there is nothing "big" going on like a widespread problem or something.
