Xbox One X randomly stops recording gameplay

fjng · Apr 27, 2020

I was just wondering if other people that use this feature (record up to an hour with an external hard drive

[4k recording]) are having a problem with the recording stopped with less than 3 minutes or just random stops. Recording of game stop anywhere from a couple of seconds to minutes 9 minutes of starting. It is doing this to me on Halo 5.

I have a 2TB, 3.0 usb external hard drive formatted correctly

This is a new Xbox One X. Recorded one hour with the Xbox one S no problem, but Xbox One S does not record in 4K resolution. Is this a hard ware problem?

I've had the same issue a few times before, so it's not that recent.

I record to a 64GB USB stick, but I can't even get it to record a full race of around 3 minutes. Will randomly stop after a few seconds, at 1 min, at 2 mins...

1080p works fine.

I have the same issue. Seems like it started recently, as I was able to record hour long 4k gaming videos few weeks back.

I have a 3TB 3.0 usb external hard drive, and all my recordings for 4K HDR or 4K SD are under 5 minutes or smaller. Anything in 1080p gets recorded for 60mins+.

I tried switching hdd to different usb port, reformatted the ext. Hdd but the issue remains.

Really annoying me now.

Not sure if Microsoft deliberately did this or some bug came along with recent updates or something.

Samething happens to me, I always use an external hdd formatted for media with plenty of space to record my 4k videos but now it just stops randomly, it records 1080p without problems.

This is happening last 2 months. I have youtube channel and made my life very difficult. The problem is that 4k recordings stops

randomly even after 15-20 seconds sometimes. Other times recording stops without even inform you that did that so you play

unreasonably because you have wrong impression that your gameplay is captured.

It's long time that this takes place and many youtubers we have problems. Please microsoft any update or support guys.

1080p works well but quality nowadays really matters.

Hope that they will not let us down.
