Microsoft may be coming to this conclusion on its own, of course. But just imagine if instead of shipping the Xbox One in 2013 with the Kinect, Microsoft had instead included internal SSDs? Load times have been a pretty big pain in general this console generation, which until now seemed like an unavoidable compromise. Now that I've spent the better part of a week playing Fallout 4 off my SSD, I can't imagine going back to the slower setup - except I can, because I did it in order to make this video, and it was painful. This was the most surprising result: A much faster hard drive improves framerate performance in the Xbox One release of Fallout 4. And the framerate issues that occasionally hit the game were significantly reduced, including the micro-stuttering that seems to occur in very specific spots near Diamond City and Good Neighbor. Loading the game from the Xbox One home screen showed similar improvements. But if you don't want to watch a video, there were improvements across the board. They sort of speak for themselves in the video above. The whole process took about three minutes (not including the day it took the enclosure to show up).Īnd the results? Well. I went on Amazon and grabbed an enclosure powered over USB, threw the SSD into it, and plugged it into my Xbox One, which gave me options to format it right away. The Xbox One supports external drives over USB to add additional storage, and because I have problems with impulse purchases, I happened to have an extra SSD sitting on my desk. So, I decided to try something I've been thinking about for awhile: using an SSD on the Xbox One.
I could switch to my PC with its absurd video card and solid state drive, of course, and I'm sure that would be faster, but that's not where my save is. The biggest problem for me has been load times, which are really, really long.
But I'm playing it on Xbox One, and it's not without its issues there (and on PS4 as well, to be fair). I like it a ton (clearly, since I've put another 30 hours or so into it since reviewing it), and it might be my game of the year. And it's Fallout 4's fault.įallout 4 is a really great game. "instruction I posted is just the mechanical basic how it works it will not help you build one, but knowing how it work help you to identify one used in game by another player.It's never been so clear to me that Microsoft and Sony should have released the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with modern solid state drives rather than the older tech both companies decided to include with their most recent consoles.
So no you can easy shoot them then release the switch and game get updated and your opponent dies and don't have a clue how it happen since they think they shoot you or they didn't even see you.Ī very nasty cheating used by some low life player. Then when you want to lag prevent the other to see your real location in a game you hit the switch a brief moment couple sec or so, then on your screen every one in game seem to be frozen or moving really slow motion.
Lag switching is a mechanical hardware hack for those who think it work with software is just getting duped.īuy opening the network cable cutting it open revealing the inner cable you cut the cable that do the return data stream/call to server and put a ON/OFF switch there, the nasty one put it to a on/off on a controller they're using for fast action. Yes lag switching is very real thing and exist sadly.
If lag Switching is a REAL thing or just a HOX. Thought I re-post this from another thread to get rid of any confusion as there seem to be a lot of confusion,
