Apex Legends becoming unplayable on XBox One
Well, yesterday was fun. First game, all the guns were invisible, as was one of my TMs. The rendering was about level with Minecraft. The TM eventually appeared but looked as if created using Micros...

Community ManagerWe've seen some others having issues with stuttering on Xbox One that were relieved by installing the game on an external SSD. Is that possible or do you already have it installed on one?
@EA_Aljo Thanks for that. No, it's on the Xbox HDD. It wasn't so bad yesterday. I think it gets worse when other apps are accessing the HDD at the same time, like when I was playing and the HD textures were downloading too.
I'll keep my eye on it and splash out on an external SSD if it gets much worse.

- @EdwardDLuffy you shouldn't really have to though just to be able to play a game mate
- @HogynDrwg Yeah I agree, but Apex Legends seems to be the 'fastest' game out there (among the ones I've played, anyhow). It could be that an 18 month old XBox One's HDD access sometimes just is not fast enough to keep up.
- @EdwardDLuffy Thats something i dont understand mate. I havent upgraded my pc for a few years and i've still played apex on decent settings, so the xbox should be equipped enough to play it just like the playstation
- @EdwardDLuffy Seems odd. I agree you should not have to use another HD. You mention other apps running. Can you close them all whenever you play? Is there some sort of disk defrag for xbox?
- @hayhor I don't have other apps running but if a download or update is accessing the HDD it can make things bad. I'll take a peek for defrag. I think I've looked before but there isn't one.
Having said that it's been pretty good today.- @EdwardDLuffy Oh ok I've noticed if I'm uploading or downloading anything while trying to play on my ps5, the ps5 no longer prioritizes gaming so it screws things up. It used to slow the download to nothing to maximize the gameplay.
PS has a what they call database rebuild which is basically their defrag. I'm sure xbox does too.

@Lord_Scorpion34 AFAIK the drive in the xbox is soldered in, not wired
@OldTreeCreeper You got me kind of curious so I looked and found this:
"Your Xbox One console is not capable of formatting a replacement hard drive for use as the main drive."Sounds like a "no."
