Is Microsoft not prioritizing its own consoles?
Why does QualityMode, 40fps mode, and 1440p mode exist only in the PS5 version?

Apparently it is not like 144 HZ monitors.. had to cut mine back manually to 120. Hertz otherwise the game was forcing me at 30 frames a second

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

They both operate roughly the same in the Performance modes with a streaming hitch or two more on Xbox. The only real difference is that the toggle doesn't work on Xbox, which is kind of a glaring oversight, not helped by the fact that the official twitter account tried to pass it off as 'working as intended'.

On that top section both had drops when right at the very top. But when descending the tower, it showed the PS5 locked throughout with the Series X dropping into mid 50's. Why would you choose to not mention that? If this were reversed, would you be saying they are both roughly the same?

Personally I think both are performing well, but additional stutters on the XSX would annoy me. Especially as my modded 4k 60fps version on X didnt suffer from these hitches or when descending the tower stress test area. I reckon they'll patch the X again anyway to bring parity with PS5 modes on offer. And with that hopefully they'll sort out the hitches.

There are technically no streaming hitches on PS5 though (like in Avatar and Lords of the Fallen BTW). Those frameratre drops are the only one they ever found on Sony console.

i only loaded it on cloud cause didn't feel like reinstalling and was surprised to find my level 520 guy still there after all these years. the only achievement i have left is redeeming 100,000 nuka coins at the arcade, i think there's a way of cheesing that.

Loaded it up on PC for the first time in about eight years and it's running unplayably fast. Movement, animations, even the highlight on menu items moves at 10x speed.

Do you happen to have followed a list or video for the modding? Or you just searched nexus and tried your luck?
I already had quite a few, then grabbed ones people considered to be essential. The graphic ones are the most extensive, others like infinite carry weight, more ammo from boxes, etc are up to each individual.

Remember when in 2020 having half the SSD speed was meant to be “just a second more in loading times”? Yeah. Good times…
Yes, exactly. We are just starting to see the real advantage of PS5 dedicated I/O in those multiplatform games (now in those 3 games using 3 different engines). Streaming pauses (>50-100ms hitches) vs ... no streaming hitches. I don't think people realize how big this difference is. Those drops can't be hidden by VRR, LFC or even the fastest SSD on high end PC, they are the worst thing in gaming currenty.

Streaming hitches in avatar is XBSX?

Sunk a good few hours into avatar and had zero hitches. Had the game since release.

Jumped back in when they released the 40FPS mode and still no hitches.

Only issue I have had in avatar was the FSR2 artefacting on trees when sunlight was behind them. Annoying as hell, was fixed somewhat in the patch before the 40FPS mode. (This was in performance mode) Now in 40FPS mode it’s basically gone 💪🏼😁

I could not stick 30FPS my CX doesn’t like 30FPS as it looks juddery as hell. (Haven’t found a way to fix it, even using BFI doesn’t help)

Edit:
40FPS mode removes the juddering.

Wish all 30FPS games had a 40FPS mode.

Can you please go fuck yourself?
Chill out man. I dig your screens, no worries, but it's better to just ignore comments like that rather than get banned. I like you, don't wanna see ya go away, and that's exactly how to do it. Just advice. Put him on ignore and post your shots brother :).

Im not even angry lol Im totally chill. It was just such a random debbie downer post out of nowhere :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I dont put anyone on ignore here because I think its just as distracting seeing which posts are ignored. Also there's no one here that I dislike enough to even consider it :messenger_beaming:

It only downloads the PS5 version that needs my PS4 disc for me even when I select the PS+ one :messenger_weary:

Same for me. Redeemed my physical GOTY before they fixed this mess and no matter what options I try on the store every PS5 download requires the disc now.

Not the end of the world but it is annoying.

I’ve managed to get this working now. I re-checked the options today and this time under the second “game” dropdown there was a Playstation Plus “Add to Library” option which wasn’t there last time. After clicking that it’s letting me boot the PS5 disc version without the PS4 disc inserted, didn’t even have to redownload.

That worked, thanks.

One X, 4K SDR, 10bit



Series X, 4K SDR, 10bit



LOD has greater range on One X (foliage, building geometry)
Other than that, I couldn't see any differences.
Time of day was slightly different, so that might account for the contrast difference.

Will try an "Ultra Settings" mod on Series X to see if it restores the quality mode.

Tested. Using an "Ultra Settings" mod does not restore the Level of Detail range that was present in the Xbox One X.

Almost a decade and I've never built a settlement.

Didn't even know you could do this with the comics.

Cool display.

I don’t build shit except a bed, the bobble head stand and a couple magazine racks.

My home base is always the red rocket gas station directly southeast of sanctuary. It’s just too perfectly convenient.
