    Doom is slow to download in Xbox Series S, but no other game


    As the title says, somehow Doom is extremely slow and intermittent to download for me, but not other games such as Dirt 5 or Overcooked 2.

    Is there anything I can do? It took an hour to download just 11 GB out of 61, while I'm already done with 10+ GB in 10 mins for Dirt. Such a weird issue

    Update: it seems that games throttle after downloading 10+ GB. Same happened with both dirt and doom. This is getting weirder

    :)

    Hi Lucas, thanks a lot for your response.

    In my update to the post I wrote: games seem to throttle after downloading 10+ GB. Same happened with both dirt and doom.

    Would this fact change anything in your original suggestion?

    I would still suggest the power reset as this is a basic troubleshooting step and should work if there is any issue related to cache or temporary files.

    You could also try to clear the console persistent storage:

    - Press the Xbox One button on your controller.

    - Go to Settings and select Devices and Connections.

    - In the BLU-RAY section select Persistent Storage.

    - Select Clear persistent storage three times.

    Then, perform the power reset and please see if the issue persists.

    Hello, AnshMishra. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    I would suggest a power reset as a first troubleshooting step:

    1​​. Turn off your console and your router/modem.

    2. Unplug all the cables from both devices (power, HDMI, etc..) and wait 2 minutes.

    3. After 2 minutes, plug all the cables in again on your router/modem and wait for all the lights to show up.

    ​​​4. Plug all the cables on your console and turn it on.

    See if the issue persists and please let me know.

    how do vulkan games like doom eternal run on xbox

    Pretty sure they're not using Vulkan on Xbox.

    How they run depends on what console you're using. On Series X they're excellent, and Doom Eternal even has raytraced reflections on the Series X hardware. The RT can drop the FPS to just below 60 occasionally, but it's largely flawless.

    On the now older Xbox One S their resolution is limited to around 900P, but they run much smoother and in higher res on the One X and Series X.

    If you've got a Series X, Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein II The New Colossus and Wolfenstein Youngblood play really well. No major performance issues. Digital Foundry on YouTube have conducted extensive tests on these games. I would check them out.

    Hello, my question is what's all the ssd expansion card I can use for xbox series x. Thanks

    Only the Seagate Expansion and the WD Black C50 work for Series X|S games. All other SSD's can only be connected via the USB port and they are too slow for Series X|S games
