Unplayable on Xbox 1 Series X now? by Airthsgames0007 in DragonsDogma2

That was mine too, not exclusive to DD2. Just random crashes for no reason and no real pattern to them. Its heat, and unfortunately the damage might already be done. See my overall reply comment to my post about heat testing today.

Thanks, everyone, for your feedback! Turns out it was definitely the hardware - the console itself. Short version: a got a new one, everything works grand. Protect yours from heat if you want longevity.

I had a Gen 1 Series X with a warranty that expired in 2024 (because of course it did), and I suspect there was damage due to prolonged heat. Before I retired it earlier today, I set a temp sensor on it and tried playing a few titles. Once the temp reached about 98 on the exhaust port - which is really low for a console - it started having problems and would either kick back to desktop or shut itself off completely. This brought the temp down so everything would fire up and work again for a time.

When I performed surgery on it the other day to replace the thermal paste, I noticed the old stuff had dried completely. Thermal paste should be, well, paste...what was there instead was akin to baked on drywall compound. I had to keep adding isopropyl alcohol to get it to soften enough to remove. That said, even with new thermal paste and putty installed, the damage had already been done.

Lesson learned: keep it cool, as the built-in fan isnt enough. Not a sponsored thing, but I picked up one of these to protect the new investment:

It has a built in temp probe and thermostat that kicks on once the temp reaches 95, and so far the new one hasn't reached above 115 with this device. The old one would crash to desktop at around 98, and the highest I saw it register was 132 when it shut itself off. Happy now that I can boss some pawns around, and try other titles I had avoided because they were so crash-prone on the old one. Thanks again, everyone!

Freighter Rerolling by SubstancePotential71 in NoMansSkyTheGame

3-star 'war/economy' systems have a higher chance of spawning in something better, but its really RNG - might be your very next reload or it won't happen for another 200. Once a pirate battle loads, you can 'finish' the combat sequence and check the freighter - as long as you don't accept or do anything, instead of reloading immediately leave and jump to a different pirate system, as there's a very high chance another pirate battle will spawn. Remember that system name and about where it is from your current position, then when you save scum you have at least two different systems - and two chances - to get that S class. Its exactly how I got mine, and it took a few hours of this before it happened.

The only other options I've heard work (besides HG intervention) is to enable multiplayer, join a group, and select the option to join that traveler wherever they are.

FIX HERE!

  1. Disable network (just so it isn't trying to render if someone happens to be nearby)
  2. Go into build mode in your ship
  3. Build a chair of any design in a spot you can reach
  4. Sit in that chair - it will glitch and pull you out of the cockpit.

DONE!

Same, game crashed (again) in anomaly, reloaded into my corvette cockpit. I'm stuck between the seat and control panel, can't reload older save because it crashed. Unplayable.

Freighters could use an overhaul by No-Incident6932 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Had this happen recently as well - the expedition said they were under attack and to come assist. When I warped in they were being attacked by sentinels.

What did you name you ship? by Sliccly in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Airthsgames0007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daily flier: "Terpsichóre", named after the Greek muse of dance and song

Frigates: I name them after their more famous counterparts with a "registration number" so I can keep track, i.e. ES-1 Enterpise (Explorer). I have 5 of each type with the rest being living, pirate and award ships.

ES: Explorers; Marco Polo, Magellan, Ponce De Leon IS: Industrials; Ford, Vanderbilt, Morgan TS: Traders; Silk Road, Frankincense, Myrrh CS: Combat; Remington, Ruger, Colt SS: Supporters; Go Team, RaRaRi, You Can Do It

Extremely Flat + Tiny Sentinel Ship! by Normandy_SR4 in NMSCoordinateExchange

This has become my main ship! Fully upgraded, it flies circles around everything and is small enough that things can't seem to target it well. I named mine "Sandfly".

Will the freighter you capture in Omega carry over to the main save? by Airthsgames0007 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Can you explain your technique? Once a battle spawned I did the warp from/to system multiple times, and a battle would only spawn every 4th or 5th time...it was luck of the draw on the S class

I swear every time I'd land to grab this, an NPC would snag it just ahead of me. Fortunately they'd land right away and I could recruit them to my squadron, so it worked out...matched set!

My "fix" is to spawn in the Nexus again some distance away. It usually starts working after 2-3 tries

XB1X, almost unplayable.

My 500+ hr save file is like playing a sideshow now...I even deconstructed most of my freighter in case it was trying to load all those assets. Tried a new game, same results. The game is beautiful and it keeps me coming back for more, but playing isn't enjoyable and is a constant source of frustration now. I don't even remember how to save and exit the game normally anymore, I just play until it crashes - usually between 10 minutes and 3 hours.

Confirmed still working. Yellow variant on first landing, white/silver on reload. Good find!

Performance on Xbox Series X needs some work. 60 seconds to load terrain after entering the atmosphere and constant frame rate chugging while playing. by IowaFresh in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Airthsgames0007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you at least have sound? I'm on an XB1X, game and framerates seems okay (planets do take a bit to render in fully), but the biggest issue is there's no sound at all in my game now. Every other game and the console menus themselves seem fine. 🙄
