Ugh, I just realized my skyrim mods won't transfer to the series when I upgrade. So many delisted mods I won't be able to get back.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Is there a Skyrim mod that increases the FPS above horseback speed?

So for some reason my Game Pass app can't find my Xbox One S. I can't remotely download games from it. This wouldn't be a problem but the download 5 games quest is worth 100 points this month so it's annoying me. I've done all the trouble shooting suggested in the FAQ to the best of my ability but nothing has worked. This is driving my OCD crazy.

I had this happen and some combination of reinstalling the Game Pass app and rebooting the Xbox One fixed it. I'm sure you already tried that, though.

I'm getting the Series X on release day, and getting one for my stepson for Christmas as a surprise.

We both like Call of Duty and I'll be getting the cross-gen version. Is there any way we can share the game and play at the same time, or do we need 2 copies? He will be playing on an Xbox One until Christmas.

Sign into his Xbox and designate it as your home Xbox. He will have access to all your games at all times, and you will have access to your games when you are logged in to your gamer tag on your Xbox.

Can't tell if this is sincere but iirc improving the fps via mods causes the horses to go absolutely bonkers because their movement speed was literally bound to the fps and if you are taking the piss I appreciate the reference

It does, the only minor-headache on both systems is the not-primary console needs to be able to go online to play anything you’ve shared like that, but as long as you don’t have a terrible ISP it’s a non-issue.

It also messes up your ability to leverage certain features, particularly remote ones. I don't believe you can remote into your non-primary console(s) or trigger remote downloads to them. This applies to both Xbox and PlayStation.

You can still remote play locally on PS4 if you ever have the need to (usually it’s so my wife can watch tv or so I can play something on the vita in bed) but yeah remote download goes to the primary without fail.

I keep downloading stuff to my brother’s console due to this.

I don't know if anyone uses Microsoft Rewards, and I also don't know if this feature is available to everyone, but a new option to auto-use points for Xbox gift cards just appeared for me recently in the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox. It is not available on the website for me.

Usually a $10 gift card is 9300 points, but this new feature knocks the price down to 8750.

I don't think the bolded part is true. My One X is not my home console but I'm able to have downloads start there when I buy games. I can pick and choose which consoles download which games I purchase.

EDIT: I just remoted in to my non-home One X. I can manage it the same as my home device.

I figured out what's wrong. On the app I can still download to my lap top and when I tried to start a remote download on the Xbox website it said I didn't have a registered device. So for some reason my Xbox account dose not recognize my Xbox One. What's even stranger is this has not affected the function of my Xbox at all. I can buy stuff on it and download from game pass no problem. I left a message on the Xbox support forums but I haven't heard anything yet.

On Xbox One saves were basically instant anyway, kind of. It writes saves to RAM and returns complete right away, then writes it out/uploads it at the leisure of the OS.

So, dunno.

Probably not.

What if power goes out before fsyncing? This might seem faster to the user but the risk is still there even if the warning isn't.

Isn't this still a thing that can get accounts banned? I have not heard of it happening often, but have had a few customers over the years ask if there was a way to get unbanned for game sharing.

I understand they want you to be able to access your content on multiple consoles on one account, but given the price hike on games I imagine they don't want people splitting those prices in half...

well sony put up a page on their support site on ps5 backwards compatibility and are telling users to that ps4 games will be ps4-only: just deal with it

I just realized this means that the PS5 can run more PS4 titles than the Series X can run Xbox One titles. So much for that narrative.

Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...


Also I totally admit this is nit picky and the original argument is comparing Xbox one bc to ps4 bc, but there are Xbox the first (the og, the one, the 2001) games that won't run on series x or any Xbox one but they did on an Xbox 360.

The original halo 1/2 (the mcc collection has their own share of problems and halo 1 mcc is based off the pc version so there's no way of getting the original experience.

And I think there's a few others that were available on xbox 360 but never got made bc for the one/series x.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360

More like nearly 400 it seems like.

And more than half the 360 library won't run on one/series x (though to be fair most of the titles left now are stuff like sports games)

It sucks so much that Gearbox's lowest-bidder PC port is the Halo:CE that persists.
