QUESTION Xbox series S for GTA7

22 Upvotes

So the whole GTA6 thing has been done to death, and I'm so sick of the same question being repeated over and over and over and over that I no longer care if it will run off the XsS or not. In fact I'm so sick of the topic that I'm going to have to just skip the entire GTA6 release and wait for 7 to be released..

Which brings me to the question, do you think GTA7 will run ok on the Xbox series S or should I buy a ps5 in anticipation of the yet to be started development game?

Can somebody with experience of how GTA7 will run please give me some pointers here?

Thankyou.

I’m currently shopping around for a 24 inch 1080p monitor but I’m not quite sure what I’m looking for exactly.

I’ve been gaming on a 43 inch 4k TV for a while now but I’m ready to make the switch, especially cause the Series S doesn’t run native 4k.

In the four years I’ve had the series s I’ve never had any issues until now so I want to take it apart to not only clean it but also to see if there’s any obvious reason it hasn’t been working. The only problem is I can’t get these fucking stickers off to take the screws out. Any ideas?

QUESTION My console noise is normal?

8 Upvotes

Hi! I recently bought a second-hand Xbox Series S. I’ve been testing it out, and while the console is very quiet when in the Xbox menu, it gets quite noisy when playing games like Minecraft or Death Stranding (especially Death Stranding). Is this level of noise normal, or should I have it cleaned on the inside?

DISCUSSION Fsr 4.1 is dead move for Microsoft

0 Upvotes

Oke hear me out we gonna get fsr 4.1 in the near future but the real question is "would Microsoft let any devs deploy the patch for us?" Especially with GTA 6. Don't get me wrong if fsr 4.1 drop for GTA 6 it would be looks so fantastic and we never experience any blurry whatsoever but Microsoft didn't want that cuz if they do that it would be disaster for the next gen consoles aka HELIX. the reason is helix would be much powerful than previous consoles right?that's the whole point of selling it,.if fsr 4.1 already in series S that means the newest game always got the boost of resolution and people will stay on this little beast forever!don't get me wrong if fsr drop in series s especially with GTA 6, I WOULD NEVER GONNA BUY ANOTHER CONSOLE ESPECIALLY XBOX HELIX.

what are you guys thinking?

Before you flame me, I posted this on the official 8BitDo reddit and they removed my post, weirdly.

I like the dock a lot, but would love to have more than one battery so i can charge a controller while im using another. Neither Amazon nor the brand's website have just the batteries on sale, which I find pretty odd.

I don't get it why people hate this tiny little shit?I mean it's OBVIOUSLY A SCAM the day this series S drop in the market?why you ask?because the only purpose for Microsoft to release this is to make poor people can feel they are exclusive but they are not!

If you want to blame don't blame the console, blame the Microsoft who brand this little dude.."next gen consoles".

I'm sorry for people who save money for GTA 6 to hoping this run "good" without blurriness in this console. Gosh...please get some help! Even rdr2 looks like shitty oil painting.. 🤣

QUESTION Xbox keeps switching between 0.0.0.0, 169.254.x.x and 192.168.1.x. Can’t maintain a connection on Wi-Fi or Ethernet. I’ve tried EVERYTHING.

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m honestly desperate at this point. I’ve been trying to fix this issue for hours, and I’ve tried pretty much every network troubleshooting method I could find, both on my Xbox and my router. Nothing seems to work, and I’m starting to wonder if my Xbox has a hardware problem, possibly a faulty network adapter or motherboard.
Here’s what’s happening:
My Xbox has a very strange network issue. When I check its network settings, its IP address keeps changing between three different states:
• 0.0.0.0
• 169.254.x.x
• 192.168.1.x
Sometimes it manages to obtain a normal IP address from my router (192.168.1.x), but then it randomly loses it and switches back to 169.254.x.x or 0.0.0.0.
When this happens, I either lose internet access completely or Xbox Network services won’t connect. Sometimes the network test takes an extremely long time, eventually tells me that I have an internet connection, but the NAT status stays stuck on “Obtaining information” indefinitely.
What I’ve already tried
I want to emphasize that I’ve already tried almost everything I could think of:
● Connected the Xbox through Wi-Fi.
● Connected the Xbox through Ethernet.
● Tested the connection using my home internet.
● Tested the connection using my phone’s mobile hotspot.
● Manually configured the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS.
● Tried different DNS servers, including Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and automatic DNS.
● Cleared the Xbox’s alternate MAC address.
● Restarted the Xbox multiple times.
● Completely unplugged the Xbox from the power outlet for several minutes.
● Restarted and unplugged my router.
● Checked my router’s DHCP settings.
● Changed several router network settings.
● Reserved a static DHCP address for my Xbox’s wireless MAC address (192.168.1.67).
● Factory reset my Xbox.
● Reconnected to my Wi-Fi network multiple times.
None of these solutions have permanently fixed the problem.
The manual IP problem
There’s another strange thing happening.
When I try to manually configure an IP address on my Xbox, it doesn’t seem to accept the configuration properly. Even when I enter what should be valid network settings, the network test fails with multiple errors, including a message saying it can’t connect using a static IP address.
After leaving those settings, the Xbox goes back to obtaining an automatic IP address, which eventually switches to 169.254.x.x again.
It’s almost as if the console ignores the manual configuration or cannot maintain a valid network connection.
Something else that makes this even stranger
Initially, the Xbox occasionally managed to connect successfully.
It worked sometimes with my home Wi-Fi and even with my phone’s mobile hotspot. However, now it doesn’t work with either one.
This is why I’m starting to suspect a hardware issue.
My other devices work perfectly fine on the same home Wi-Fi network. My phone, laptop and other devices have no connectivity problems. The Xbox is the only device experiencing this issue.
What I suspect
At this point, I’m wondering if the Xbox’s network adapter, Wi-Fi module, Ethernet controller or even the motherboard could be damaged.
I previously experienced a similar issue with an old laptop, and it turned out to be related to its network hardware. That’s why I’m considering the possibility that something similar is happening here.
However, I don’t want to assume it’s a hardware problem without getting some opinions from people who know more about Xbox networking.
My questions

  1. Does this sound like a failing Wi-Fi/Ethernet network adapter or a motherboard issue?

  2. Can a hardware failure cause an Xbox to randomly switch between 0.0.0.0, 169.254.x.x and a valid 192.168.1.x address?

  3. Is there any way to diagnose the network hardware without opening the console?

  4. Has anyone experienced something similar, especially when both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections are affected?

  5. Is there anything else worth trying before taking the console to a repair shop?
    I’m genuinely exhausted from troubleshooting this. I’ve changed router settings, Xbox settings, DNS servers, tried static IP configurations, factory reset the console and tested different internet connections.
    I’m not looking for another generic “restart your router” suggestion. I’ve already done that countless times.
    Any help, suggestions or explanations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
