Doom texture pop on original Xbox One

mikeyg3733 · Jan 8, 2019

So I just bought Doom 2016 to play on my original Xbox One and the texture pop at the start of levels and during levels makes it so unappealing it's unplayable. Does anyone know if this issue exists on the Xbox One X enhanced version? I don't even need
to play it in 4k, 1080p or 1440p is fine. I just want textures to be already loaded at the start of levels and remain that way even if I run up onto larger objects at a fast pace. There are plenty of fast paced games where this is not an issue. I cannot understand
why Bethesda hasn't addressed this issue.

Hi,

Doom 2016 uses ID Software's ID Tech 6 engine which is a considerable improvement over ID Tech 5 which could frequently suffer from little bits of texture pop in from time to time. This has been largely eliminated with ID Tech 6 - which also powers Wolfenstein
II The New Colossus.

Texture pop in is caused by the hard drive unable to keep up with the game engine. There may be some heavy fragmentation of your hard drive slowing it down. Unfortunately there is no easy fix for this, but a reinstall may help. Also, try doing a full
power cycle on your console.

Are you running the game from the internal hard drive or an external hard drive?

Try to delete and reinstall it. I never recall having this issue.

Hmmm. Are you playing at 720 or 1080? I haven't had a chance to try it in 720 yet.

It's fully installed. Playing with a disc.

I don't recall anything that stood out but texture pop-in is not unheard of in the Id Tech engine. If there is distant texture pop in I would expect that to be relatively normal, particularly on older hardware.

If the performance ends up being consistently very problematic you may want to look into the temperature of your console and it's placement to make sure you're not experiencing any overheating issues.
