All things Xbox One X

Well damn it anyway. I was moving all my enhanced games to the internal drive on the One X last night and GOW 4 keeps getting a installation stopped error. All the other games worked fine. I just want game files on the external and transfer them to the internal when I play them as I was fed up updating games I never play.

GOW 4 is nearly 100GB's and that is with out the new enhanced updates. I know I could redownload them but that really isn't a option for me as I have extremely slow internet and it would take me a few days to that.

Well I think I figured out the reason for this and it was because I was midway updating this game on my old Xbox One and stopped and then sold that Xbox and than connected it up to my new Xbox One X and obviously it has got corrupted so I will have to redownload all 110GB's but I don't think I will bother as I played the game already and I was just going to boot it up to see the difference.

Yes, having slow internet sucks.

Skate 3 looks amazing in HDR folks!
Looks savage for a 7.5 year old game

Thanks, found that one already but there's no loading screens in that video so no way to see improvement.

Are you sure it got a HDR enhancement? I think Xbox 360 games just got improvements to the graphics and not HDR. I could be wrong though.

It's definitely in HDR on my TV anyway!
Booted up a non enhanced game, Red Dead Redemption, and that plays without HDR

Mirror's Edge, another EA title, also plays in HDR

Gears 3 doesn't. So the 2 EA games do, but not the MS one

Assassin's Creed Origins look noticeably improved even on my 1080p screen and no HDR. It was pretty to begin with but I'd give it a 10-15% improvement in textures.

EDIT: Hitman looks unreal good now at 1080p theres no noticeable difference in visuals vs high frame rate on or off so 60fps it is.

Can only imagine what these look like with 4k and HDR.

Just watching this tear down video and the Hard Drive has me intrigued. I forget the exact numbers but MS said it was up to 50% faster than previous models and they just went with any old 5400rpm 1TB drive that you can buy off the self.

AFAIK they are using SATA III so if you replaced it with a SSD you will defo see massive improvements more so than their fake 50% faster drive(I was always skeptical about the numbers they were saying regarding Hard drive speeds.

As always MS use keys to communicate between each device so replacing with a SSD is tricky until someone releases a hack to do so.

Tear down video

Sata III 128MB cache
Xbox One S used a 32MB cache HDD and Sata II

Got set up lastnight but didn't have long to play around

Forza 7 in 4k is magnificent, beautiful looking game. Not a jagged edge in sight :pac:

Played 2 levels of the Battlefront 2 campaign. Not as impressive as Forza, with a little pop in and slowdown at times but it's still very very pretty. (Not a terrible game so far either)

Super Lucky's Tale.. eh, I'm just glad I only paid €6.. thanks Russia

Caved in and booked one to collect in a few hours. Need that power for PUBG and it also justifies the 4K tv upgrade

You'd hardly need the power of an X to run PUBG.

Lads got my one x on Tuesday and loving cod ww2 but getting killed about 30 times per round..... Can you recommend a good external hard drive for the one x?

Oh, very much. It's fantastic value for what it is.....just needs the games to support it. Hopefully enhancements going forward to separate One X versions from PS4 Pro will become the norm - some evidence of that already with the likes of Tomb Raider etc

Froget the GFX card. DRAM prices have rocked recently. It is 200 for 8GB of DDR4 that I need for my Ryzen build. thinking of scrapping that and getting a X to tide me over until prices come down...

Argos have loads of good External HDD's.

Really? that's disappointing

Most reasonable prices headsets for Dolby atmos? I see a10s listed in Argos for 80 but not sure if they support that audio output

Its works with any headset AFK. Its software. Obviously some headsets will do it better.

I held off on the Atmos download, glad I did after seeing the video.

I did switch on Windows Sonic in the options though and it made a huge difference to the sound on my old Turtle Beach headset!

Older headsets, especially stereo headsets will get a great boost from Windows Sonic on Xbox. Its virtual surround sound.

Think Curry's had a 4TB portable one on sale recently.

Yeah that's the unpatched version, the game launched with an unlocked frame rate which was locked to 30 in a patch. Enhanced version will likely be locked to 30

Is the X due back in stock this month or December? See people mentioning the 20th...but not which month.

I will test that with my standard 2.1s today and see if that improves it

It reads however that the A10s use the same headphone tech build as the a50s bar the fact they are not surround?

Try Windows Sonic also. I am surprised to see the amount of feedback from people who find Windows Sonic better than Atmos.

What I was saying was true about them talking smack about being 50% faster than previous models. I read an article last night in bed so I do not have a link and they tested the load time difference and it is no where near 50% faster. It can vary between 0% and 10% difference in speed.

I'd really love to see the official patch for witcher 3 running at 60fps, its a great looking game anyway, that extra smoothnes would be just icing on the cake.

How did you manage that I just changed to the Russian store and it's the same price as here.

I'd love to see that article. There's a load of articles out there that show drastic improvement, like knocking a minute off Witcher 3 loading times, or 30 seconds off GTA5, both more than 50%.

Xbox One X from Internal Hard Drive: 0:24

Forza Motorsport 7

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Shadow of War

Xbox One X from Internal Hard Drive: 0:44

That's from here.

Load times are going to vary by game anyway, it's possible that Gears just isn't going to show much improvement, while others will.

It's also possible that they were testing from an external drive on the One S, which will even out a lot of the difference.

Xbox one x patches are ****ed

Downloaded a 13.2gb update for gears 4 yesterday
All downloaded fine
Went to boot it up
Starts downloading the patch again, exact same size

looks like its the elite controller all over again, gamestop (in america anyway) have nearly sold out, and market analyst are revising predictions for their end of year tallies based on the uptake rate.

'but who will buy it?'

turns out, almost everyone.

Anyone see whee to switch modes in Gears of War 4 on the X.

Switching between 4K 30fps and the other performance mode?

WarpAsylum

It's at the main menu man. Before you start a game.
Press the hamburger button for options and then 'Video - Enhanced'

Thank you.

I was looking all over the place. Well, the wrong places.

Happened to be lucky enough to get the call from GameStop earlier on to say they had my One X in stock. Have it all set up now and I must say it’s a beautiful machine, but one thing I’m a little confused about is the 4K assets business. Several games appear under the Xbox One X Enhanced drop down menu, but when I start them I’m not prompted to update. I always had my One S set to keep games and apps up to date automatically so maybe it just installed them by itself unbeknownst to me, though I can’t find anything to suggest either way.

Is there any way to actually tell if my games are updated for 4k assets?

Open up My Games & Apps and pick the X Enhanced from the drop down. Hover over a game and press LB, RB and Menu together and a window will pop up. You should see in there if assets are available.

I’ve noticed a big difference in Witcher 3 load times. It used to do my head in getting killed in an area and waiting forever to start again.

Ah i'd say it will be optimised well for the Xbox when it's released.

I had a go at that, but I’m not 100% sure what I’m looking for.

It says “X1XE: True” under one section for games which appear in the drop down Enhanced menu, “X1XE: False” for those which don’t. Under assets installed it says “Xbox-Durango;Xbox-Durango-Only” for games which I already had installed on my external drive and “Xbox-Scorpio” for those which I installed to the new console, regardless of whether the game is supposed to be X enhanced or not.

Is either of these the indicator?

X1XE means Xbox One X Enhanced, so if it's true I think it means the assets are downloaded.
