Never really clocked that my connections went right down hill since i got this, despite it being months since I did. Not really nah, since the processor and hardware is better it wouldn’t really make sense. Based on download speeds or actual pings in games? You should be around 30ms connected to European servers.

In games, get 30 at the highest before a game of FIFA but laggy like fuck when it starts, average in the hundreds according to EA. Checked Reddit and there’s a few that have had the same problem. It sits in the exact same space as my Xbox one did Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakes Pal 5,581 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Anyone with Game Pass who enjoys the Cyberpunk genre should check out The Ascent. Insanely detailed environments and challenging combat, the aiming is very tricky at first until you get the hang of it, and you level up, unless you are a pussy and turn aim assist on.

The Ascent was good. Great neon/colour and cool art style. Apparently a very small studio done it with the numbers only just into double figures - done a great job.

Yeah, it can emulate everything up to the Gamecube and PS2, although the latter is abit game dependant. To install it you need to enable developer mode on the console, which costs 20 quid for a license from microsoft I think. Not sure if I'm going to bother doing it, just wondering if anyone on here had done it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early access, car packs(2 at launch), car pass and you get the 2 expansion packs when they release. Normally 38 quid but it's only 24 if you buy it on the Icelandic store, works with a UK games pass account. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to be logged into your UK account on the store when you buy. Some people have had to slap an Iceland postcode into the address box, but the payment still went through ok. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/forza-horizon-5-premium-add-ons-bundle-inc-early-access-for-gamepass-subscribers-xbox-one-series-xs-pc-ps2419-at-xbox-store-iceland-3803020 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously nowhere near as good as the Series or PC versions, but Playground Games have done an amazing job for a cross-gen title. CR3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality setting on the Series X actually says it’s 30fps surprisingly (native 4k) so I play it on Performance mode and it’s actually not a world of difference graphically while getting 60 frames, monitor is 120 but is enabled mainly on shooters.

I ended up dropping back to 30fps mode. The pop in and lod issues was bugging me too much. Though my partner has stuck with performance mode, she just loves how smooth it is. That said even in quality mode it still manages to be silky smooth.. After 5 minutes of gameplay I forgot it was running at 30. Even DF said they were torn between the modes which is a massive credit to the developers.. As DF are typically 60 fps gestapo. Either way its an incredible game.
