  1. My XBox One is a lemon (I think)...


    Ongoing issues with games freezing is annoying enough, but I think this particular Xbox that I own must be in need of a factory recall.

    1) In-game rendering stops working after about 10 minutes. (Specific game: Fortnite) Moving from one area to the another goes from smooth graphics to what looks like Minecraft, only worse. Game will freeze about 30 seconds after this happens and kick you
    back to launch screen. If you try to relaunch the game, it give you either a) error code - that didn't work, try later, or b) something is corrupt, uninstall and reinstall game.

    2) If any game crashes (and they ALL do now), every other game displays the "Corrupt - uninstall/reinstall" error code when trying to launch.

    3) The more graphic intensive the game, the faster the system crashes. Every 3rd or 4th crash, the Xbox will turn itself off. Turning it back on after letting it sit for a few minutes usually winds up with a 5 minute wait on the green screen before it goes
    to the launch page.

    I have soft reset twice and factory reset three times just today alone (never mind the five times I have previously had to do this), and if anything, the problem is more pronounced now than ever.

    I suspect the unit is borked beyond what should be reasonable for a system that is less than 2 years old. It was playing up now and again about 6 months ago, but now you can't do anything for more than a few minutes before it goes haywire.

    So to the question - what possible solution does anyone have for this? Right now, this unit is about as functional as a paperweight and I'm not that impressed that it's fried itself in less than 2 years.... and I have grown weary of factory resetting and redownloading
    (and yes, the last one I reset and downloaded exactly one game (Fortnite again) and it borked within 5 minutes of launching).

    So very frustrated.

    :)

    My XBox One is a lemon (I think)...

    I'll answer a few in this one.

    Model is the X. Definitely not an issue with where it is located - it sits on top of a shelf with nothing behind or around it (as open air as possible) and you can hear the fan running and feel the intakes working on the sides and hot air coming out of the
    back. It doesn't feel all that hot to the touch.

    I'm guessing it could be multiple things - I wouldn't suspect that I would get the "corrupt file" error message due to overheating, so it's likely a GPU issue compounded by a hard drive problem, perhaps?

    Best to let them figure it out. Luckily I'm heading away for a holiday shortly so I'll pack it up and send it off and hopefully have a fixed one waiting when I get back.

    Thanks for the input, everyone.

    Yep, create a recall ticket. Also I’m wonder what model do you have? Regular, S or X?
