Well that's a shame

SOME PEOPLE HERE TOLD ME IT WAS AMAZING

Oh well, at least I have it on Steam lol
I played it on an OLED. It may be a little be dark at times but it is still an improvement compared to the Non-HDR output. I don't share the opinion with the member you responded to. The game aged very well on consoles given the patches it got especially on the Xbox One X. I clocked around 400 hrs with the game (original release and GOTY edition) ...

I just got a LG 27UK650 monitor earlier this week, and I found the HDR really neat for Witcher 3 on the X!

Yeah I don't know what's up with mine.

I just can't get the brightness setting right. The only way the "wolf" shows up on the brightness test is when I kick the slider to its highest setting, which makes the game look way too bright, yet anything lower on the slider has the game look too dark

I'm afraid I might have got a bad console

Nah, it's just bad HDR standards on both games and screens. Games like AC Origins has separate sliders to get those HDR settings just right as looking good for your screen. I hope HDR gets more focus on looking good and with options in the future and not just a on/off switch.

Yeah so far my biggest frustration with HDR is devs not implementing a separate brightness slider.

Holy crap, I wondered for so long why my games and apps don't update automatically like they're supposed to. Go to power save settings and uncheck turn off storage when xbox off. FIXED.

Hum, I have this setting enabled since the start, my external HDD turns off when I put the console to sleep, and I can ear it turn on when it downloads updates or games I remotely add to the queue.
So that's not the issue unless your HDD can't turn on.

Also, the console does not check for updates every minutes so it might miss a game update for a few hours.

So I plugged my S back in after returning my X, and something strange I noticed was how much sharper the dash is on my S, which is very bizarre

That's interesting, I'd love to see some off screen pics if it's not too much trouble. I've noticed some weird low res compression like stuff on my X dashboard sometimes too.

Have an OS question, not really X related.

Is it normal for locally stored screenshots and videos to be deleted after a while? I haven't used my X in a while and after updating, I noticed all my local captures are gone. Every single one. I didn't have them set to upload to Live automatically either since I prefer to do it manually. I'm in the insider program, but that shouldn't be the reason, right? I also had plenty of storage space available.

Does anyone know why I have two sets of the same DLC showing up twice in manage add ons? It's kind of annoying but I have two sets of LCE day one DLC and two sets of VIP and car packs pass for the original Forza Horizon. It's a minor annoyance but when I went to "install all" it tried to install those things twice so I had to cancel one of them.

This is probably the wrong thread for this question.
But why do I have two versions of Minecraft to choose from? Which is the best one and which one will be getting that fancy graphics update they talked about ages ago?

Question

When you have a cord plugged into the Xbox controller, does it recognize it as a wired controller by default, or do you have to change a setting? I thought I remember them making a deal about such a feature, whereas before even if it was wired up, the actual controller was still transmitting wireless.

I don't like how the grouping feature has been implemented. I'd prefer to be able to see more than one group at a time on the screen. Right now they are too far apart. An option for smaller icon and bunching the groups more together would be welcome. Also the triggers should move between groups, not move past them.

I wanna say it recognizes it as a wired controller considering that's how it works on PC.

Been looking to buy a Xbox One X just for BC.

Does every BC game gets escalated to 1080p? I saw a few screenshots about Red dead redemption and looks awesome, but I don't know if thats a console thing.

Only the enhanced games go to 1080p/4K

Everything else gets 16x AF and better performance

I keep having an annoying problem, when I bring up the guide about 20% of the time the game I'm playing will then become unresponsive when I resume. Everything is still going on but it's like my controller becomes dead. I disconnect the controller and refresh the dash but nothing works, it only happens on the game I can still go around the Xbox OS fine.

I have to quit the game to get it working again, it's becoming quite annoying in games like The Division or another online game. Anyone else had this?

So I have a question:

I purchased an Xbox One X a couple months ago and I've been having some issues with stability. Nearly every day I play my XB1X, it freezes while playing, requiring a restart to get things working. Sometimes, this is a hard lockup and crash; other times, the game I'm playing fails to ever leave the loading screen and I'm forced to listen to the loading music. Twice so far, games have failed to run properly but work after reinstalling software (which can take a LONG time with bigger AAA games). A couple times, I've seen video artifacts before the game crashes.

How often do people here run into bugs with their XB1X?

Never.. ? Sounds like a swap.

I have been having issues for awhile where my X1X will lose WiFi network connection when I turn it on (instant on) and seemingly can't even see any networks if I try to go into setting up a new network (it will not refresh a network list). Seems to be a software issue, as doing a hard reset resolves this issue every time.

Is anyone else experiencing anything like this, or have any suggestions?

I've had that a couple times. I also use instant on. It seemed like it might have corresponded to insider program updates, but I am still not sure. Either way, a restart or full shutdown/reboot solved it and it connected instantly on reboot.

Yeah, I've had to do a hard reboot to fix it myself at times.

Hmm- yeah, I am in the insider program, or was with my old Xbox. Haven't noticed since I got the X. That fix works for me too, but it's annoying since I have to do it every couple of days. More often than insider updates would be, I think.

Yeah that's much more frequent than I was seeing I've only had it happen maybe three times since launch. Initially, the first few weeks, I'd just have the console not wake up at all Had to pull the cord. That seems to have become far less frequent of an occurrence. Had it happen yesterday but it had been a few months.

Dang, I'm not really sure what to do at this point. My Xbox One X was continually crashing after playing for about 15-20 minutes. It happens in Resident Evil 0 and Forza Horizon 3 at the very least, and Fortnite has all kinds of weird glitches when I play.

I sent it in to Microsoft and it took a couple weeks to get it back. Finally came today, and... still crashing. Fortnite still glitching out as well.

As far as I can tell they didn't do anything.

*sigh*

I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. Just needed to vent a bit because it's been a frustrating experience. I checked and the whole process took 20 days :\

could it be that your xbox isnt getting enough power? is it plugged into the mains or an extension lead or something similar?

i vaguely recall issues using those surge protector ones and the xbox one (not sure which model)
