steb2 · Dec 12, 2020

Hi

So i got my Series X on the first day of release, followed all the instructions to install profile etc through my mobile.. which i did. (I was previously using a One X) switch over went smooth. I followed all the calibrate tv etc and set all the video settings
as recommended. It worked well for awhile on valhalla it crashed a few times to as i recall but my one x used too, so i thought nothing of it. Anyway fast forward to now, for the past 2 week the console has been randomly turning itself off alot sooner.. it
happens mid gaming the only games i have played are UFC 4- AC Valhalla - fifa21 - and now cyberpunk 2077. Ive tried every possible soloution i could find online - ive swapped hdmi leads (tried a soldstrom?) the console has perfect ventilation, its power is
direct from a wall socket. Tried resetting console (but left games etc from transfer) all the games are updated and x version installed

my tv is 55” samsung with HDR10

its driving me crazzzy can anyone help?

:)

If you’re sick of Destiny 2 crashing on Xbox one X with the “error reading game content please close the game and restart”, I found a fix. I’ve been experiencing errors and crashing repeatedly since I installed the game on my Xbox. To fix the problem,
go to Xbox settings > storage > delete local games and select delete. THIS WILL NOT DELETE YOUR GAMES OFF THE HDD. Your console will reset and shut down. When you power back up sign in like usual and select D2 and it should be fixed. Feel free to message me
with any questions!! Good luck!

Please verify that you were playing on an Xbox series console, and not a one console. There are Xbox one S and X and Xbox series S and X, must be Series

If you put a disc in your S console it's a one.

It will not say owned unless you actually purchase it digitally. It will say "installable" or if it's installed and updated "play"

If you feel it's not reading your disc, please try a Blu-ray movie in the drive, and also go to power and choose "restart" in the guide.

I'd like to suggest that in order to get Activision off their butts, Microsoft should not allow the game to play on the Xbox One X. I've had mine shutdown completely after freezing mid match, sometimes losing me loads of XP.
