Oooh interesting seeing the icons the game uses on devkits :D
So, while I am bedridden today, having seen the issues people are having, I figure I'll do some testing by disconnecting my System from the...
Meanwhile I'm sitting here with my second covid jab kicking in thinking I probably don't mind a delay, as I am likely to be totally out of it the...
Most likely it'll be purchasable from the usual midnight UTC, but then the contents like Boston will only show as "Preordered" and not actually be...
I am assuming the store page will allow you to PURCHASE the pass from midnight UTC onwards - but the Boston route will show as preordered until...
All we can say is that the DLC will be purchasable at midnight. The updates necessary to play it are anyone's guess.
The ability to install both versions could simply be a matter of Game Pass allowing users to download both versions and not indicative of a...
Because that game, as listed clearly in the features - DOES NOT UTILISE SMART DELIVERY. Because a handful of publishers are releasing games...
It's not currently listed among the XBox Play Anywhere list of games, so any speculation right now without confirmation from Microsoft or Dovetail...
It's not so bad though, having some devices capped at 1Gbps if you have several devices which tend to be downloading all at once, you still get...
It was great though seeing the difference the PCIe4 SSD made once I got a Series X and the install speed of games from the internet DOUBLED...
See, for me it's the opposite way around. My internet connection is faster than the read speed of the optical drive. Games install around 3x as...
All of this. This is indeed how it works. It's really elegant in its simplicity.
"No, you don't understand! When you install Demon's Souls remastered on your PS5 it's not a real PS5 game, it's just a backwards compatible PS3...
Nah, I just get SUPER frustrated when people who don't understand how the magical fairy people running around inside the little boxes make...
This is ACTIVELY UNTRUE and I am reporting this post for misinformation. I get that it's just technical ignorance not active malice, but it's...
That is part of the store UI, it has been known to roll out a couple of days before the actual updates go live, this is perfectly normal.
Smart Delivery is the backend system which ensures that once you own the license for a specific game, either by buying a digital copy or putting a...
Agreed, this seems to be for the best.
As a side note I am REALLY glad MS did succeed, in the space of six months, in normalising the PC expectations in the console space that when you...
Well, you can trust MS on this one. If a game you own is using Smart Delivery, then their backend automatically gives you the dedicated version...
[ATTACH] They have confirmed this repeatedly, yes. both in streams and in writing on the FAQ on the website. It uses XBox Smart Delivery, part of...
Unless you were unlucky enough to get one of the handful of games back in the day where there was a bug in the released version that literally...
I love how we managed to go from Ninth gen consoles all the way to Third generation consoles in a couple of posts.
Dreamcast, Wii, OG XBox, and you cannot see it but my 360 is on the far left of the TV shelf, with its output directly into the XBox One's...
Debunking the FH4 claim: Copied the 8th gen Durango version of FH4 off my XBox One onto an external HD I freshly formatted for this test....
It can often depend on if something is a genuine native 9th gen build, or if it's a "Gen9Aware" update to an existing build. The latter doesn't...
This indeed is how Nat appears to have clarified it, when previously what had been suggested implied the opposite - and yes, this would indeed be...
Not based on what Nat said, no. You get the bugfixes listed for the patch and you get the new UI. But they're still in the backcompat version with...
so based on what Nat is saying... For XBox One owners, today's patch is the biggie, one and done, they get the overhauled UI and bugfixes, and on...
So to summarise from what Nat is saying, the Core Update is the bugfixes to the existing routes and the new engine overhaul in preparation as the...
Okay that's confusing? I assume you meant last-gen to new gen? Right now we have the backcompat last gen version, we don't have a next gen...
Given it has been previously stated as using XBox Smart Delivery then the process should simply be that the console detects the new version as...
Most studios stagger big releases like this when they have multiple ones this close together, it gives time to ensure one thing is working...
Yep, I really do not understand how many times they need to repeat themselves. [ATTACH] TODAY: Engine overhaul including dedicated ninth gen...
This seems reasonable as that's when new builds of games usually show up on XBox. Generally in the afternoon, varying based on if it's summer or...
Only on PS5 where that's a thing. On XBox it just automatically updates all content.
TBH I'm used to boards displaying corrupted text, pretty sure British railway passenger information boards are where Monika escaped to after the...
The console will download the update automatically in the background and replace only the files which need replacing
Guessing not for another 10 hours or so. The store updates midnight UTC, but patches are on a different schedule. No updates showing in the...
Core game, East Coastway, CSX C40-8W, DB BR 363
Well, we should know in 40 minutes or so.
Yeah, MS have been working on this infrastructure for 25 years to get to this point, LOVE there's this seamless integration provided by their...
I do however totally get going for a cheaper option, there are after all only three main types of people who need the thread counts and memory...
Mouse support on XBox is on a game by game basis, so the devs need to add it in for it to work (See something like The Ascent for an example of...
Give a map location and I can check it out to confirm.
YEOWCH. I don't know how I'd ever have gotten by the last 20 years with the expense of having to replace laptops twice as often because of...
I keep seeing trains with 3 UP SD-40s and a single CSX one.
Apparently it's all the same settings as Series X, just in 1080p instead of 4k at 60fps.
It can be a bit finicky on a controller to line it up correctly, as it's offset from where the on/off part of the switch is, and it's a VERY...
