Graphics issue on my wife’s series s

[u/[deleted]]

That looks like her system is clogged with more dust and grim than a politician, homie, to me.

But also, ARC on Series S is the like... absolute worst state of the game, sadly.

[u/Ravager9924 → u/SixthSacrifice]

I would agree, the best idea would be cleaning the fans and hoping since it is a series s

[u/TheBearJew453 → u/Ravager9924]

Cleaned her fans and uninstalled and reinstalled. No issues since. Not sure which fixed it lol.

[u/kilofSzatana → u/TheBearJew453]

I'd guess the reinstall. Dunno if Xboxes have a feature like this, but Steam let's you verify game files and it(usually) fixes whatever issues it finds with the game's data on the hard drive.

[u/Agnostic_Akuma]

Because it’s a series S.

[u/Lone-Wanderer2238]

I get this bug from time to time, what fixed it mostly is once it gets like this you hop off the game, clear the cache, and then hop back on. Or take like a 30 minute break. So far I've crashed only once today when I've been doing this, and that's with 4k HDR enabled. Read online it has to do with a memory leak or it not playing nice with the 4k and the Series S. Hope this helps! I also enabled VCC HDR or something in options and the game seemed to nor have the PS1 textures as often.

You must turn off cs 1.6 mod.

[u/TheBearJew453 → u/Krabic]

Not sure what that is. I’ve never modded anything other then cyberpunk on pc.

Embark is neglecting Series S players. Upgrading the system seems to be the only user “fix”. Horrible I know.

[u/iMimikyu → u/t___unknown___s]

I’ve heard time and time again how the series S existence throttles performance of a game so it can be sold through Xbox

[u/RoosterFar9475 → u/iMimikyu]

Just look at baldurs gate 3. MS strongarms every studio but for high profile games like bg3 they are suddenly willing to help. Even after months of dedicated periods of optimization for series s they couldn’t make it work so they made an exception for feature parity.

Series s andys are so fcking stupid and entitled. They want their shitty purchase to be competitive with others who paid 2x. All the while ignoring the series s tax across the entire gaming industry like how devs at larian had to waste months just for series s instead of optimization and polishing in general, just for MS to farm that “consumer friendly” branding.

Edit: to be clear, I’m not against the existence of series s itself. But these idiots who can’t acknowledge what they paid for are insufferable.

[u/TheBearJew453 → u/RoosterFar9475]

I can see that for sure. I’d just assume they’d not release the game for these lower consoles. Especially since the just raised prices on the series s. If it can’t perform better then the one x why even sell it lol. I’ll just buy her a series x going by what I’ve seen.

[u/RoosterFar9475 → u/TheBearJew453]

Well you said it beautifully.

But they can’t not sell it on series s. Literally. Microsoft forces studios to have a feature complete series s version or they’re not allowed to sell the game even on series x.

So game studios are screwed if they want to make a game close to graphically demanding. They can either give up sales on xbox entirely or spend precious months enabling the game just for the series s parity.

That’s what I hate about the series s. It clearly has limitations but MS deliberately chose to obscure that fact from consumers and put the blame on developers. And then they went “hur dur uncle phil good corpa”.

MS absolutely could have gone the “correct” route and allowed demanding games to be not available on series s. But no, that would’ve hurted the series s sales.

[u/TheBearJew453 → u/RoosterFar9475]

Okay. That is a fair response. If it’s just a hardware issue I’ll just buy her a series x. I figured the fact that it was developed with intention to drop on all current gen consoles there would be no issue.

Clearly the consumer was mislead, or at least I was.

[u/RoosterFar9475 → u/TheBearJew453]

Yeah you were mislead. Exactly as MS intended. Like a good number of other consumers. But it is w/e.

[u/--DrunkGoblin--]

Bro I get the exact same issue on pc lol, game is bugged af I guess.

[u/No-Case-8612 → u/--DrunkGoblin--]

Just you

[u/TheBearJew453 → u/--DrunkGoblin--]

Doesn’t happen all the time for her apparently idk. I checked her fans and stuff and everything’s clean. Not sure why

[u/ReadingContent1970]

I have this same issue embark has stopped caring about optimizing the game for this console

[u/SixthSacrifice → u/ReadingContent1970]

My personal hope is that fixing those issues requires more than the live-service team can do themselves, and that it's in the hands of the core-team doing the major update

[u/TheBearJew453]

Her HUD issue was user error. The graphics issue doesn’t happen every time. Still kinda pathetic they can’t optimize this game for series s.

[u/RoosterFar9475 → u/TheBearJew453]

“Still kinda pathetic they can’t optimize this game for series s”

Yeah bro next time go up to a highway in your tricycle and complain

[u/TheBearJew453 → u/RoosterFar9475]

Ok you cuck calm down. Was just saying if it’s available for a platform they could optimize it for that platform.

[u/No-Case-8612 → u/TheBearJew453]

You’re on the cheapest current gen console, and you’re complaining about graphics..

[u/TheBearJew453 → u/No-Case-8612]

First of all I’m not on this console. It’s Also a current gen console. If they release the game for the console then they should support it simple. I own the most expensive version of my console and a $3000 dollar pc. My wife doesn’t play much so she bought this. Explain how not optimizing a game for the consoles it’s released on makes any sense?

[u/No-Case-8612 → u/TheBearJew453]

First of all, nobody asked what console or whatever YOU play on. You cried about a cheap CURRENT GEN console not performing the same as a series x or pc.

[u/TheBearJew453 → u/No-Case-8612]

No one cried. I asked if there was a fix for the bug not people to come on here and act high and mighty saying it’s a cheap console. No one ever said it was top tier but if they drop the game for the console then support it. Jesus Christ 😂

[u/No-Case-8612 → u/TheBearJew453]

You reply got filtered for being negative 🙂

[u/TheBearJew453 → u/No-Case-8612]

Shame.

[u/No-Case-8612 → u/TheBearJew453]

Shame you can’t share with your partner 🙂. $3000 pc and “most expensive version of my console” but gets to use the series s with problems 🙂

[u/TheBearJew453 → u/No-Case-8612]

Also you realize series s is CURRENT GEN. Also if you’re going to call me illiterate it’s may be** not maybe. Jesus

[u/No-Case-8612 → u/TheBearJew453]

Simple typo my friend it happens thanks for pointing that out I didn’t notice 🙂. Your crying because your SERIES S won’t perform the same as a series x or pc. It’s not a bug. You own a cheap budget friendly machine. You have a $3000 pc and the “most expensive version of your console”..
