Considering a 2nd Console so my wife and I can play together. Any potential problems?

InvertedCulture · Aug 30, 2015

My wife and I have been huge Elder Scrolls fans since Morrowind on the original Xbox. We've both been enjoying ESO immensely, but we currently have to take turns playing. I'm seriously considering buying a 2nd Xbox One (and another copy of the game) so
we can team up online and play together.

Are there any technical issues or potential problems that I should be aware of? I've been reading the support forums, and it looks like we can use multiple consoles as long as one console is designated as our "home" console. Our current console is located
in our living room; if I buy a 2nd console it will go in the bedroom. Since the 2nd console would be used primarily just for ESO, I'm thinking we would continue to use our current console as our "home" console.

Another consideration might be bandwidth. We recently switched our ISP to ATT Uverse, which seems to have adequate bandwidth, but I'm not sure.

Has anyone else run two Xbox Ones on a single internet connection? If so, how's it worked for you? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated!

Playing XBox games on Windows with others on console

So, my wife and I love playing games together. However, she prefers the console, while I prefer the PC. We're looking at playing games like Plants vs. Zombies, Overwatch, and Battleborn together. Is there any way I can play those XBox games on my Windows
10 PC and play with her as she is on our XBox One? Like, from the XBox app on my Windows 10 PC, can I install an XBox game and play it alongside console players?

Random disconnections from Live

My 2nd Xbox is a broken one that my wife occasionally uses to play arcade games and watch movies from. I've disconnected the network cable from that one even before opening this thread. I did, however, use to have both running on Xbox Live without any problems
in the past though. I really don't care about both being online together, just want my one to run without any problems.

We can play together, and it is set on my account. The problem is when my wife wants to host HER game on xbox. When she invites me i can only accept it via the xbox app. So when i accept i get logged in on the xbox app. And my profile gets logged in, so
my wife loses her game.

From what I understand about how sharing works, you would need to make the 2nd console your "home" console and the 1st console your wife's "home" console. On the 1st console, make sure your account is part of her family and on the 2nd console make sure she
is a part of your family. This should enable you and her to play anything together that is purchased under either account on either console.
