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...

@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. @EdwardDLuffy@hayhor there's no defrag on xbox. Only way round that is to uninstall everything and reset the box then reinstall.
@EdwardDLuffy out of interest how full is your HD?
My xbox ons s is running fine but all I have on it are fortnite and Apex.
@hayhor xbox tries to do both at the same time, dl updates and play, so I do that seperately.
- @OldTreeCreeper My HDD is only 48% full. I have Apex, Halo, Rocket League, Paladins and Overwatch. I don't play anything else!
@EdwardDLuffy at this stage I would be very tempted to reset the xbox. Then reinstall the apex first and see how it goes.

If it works fine then reinstall other games on a removable drive.
- @OldTreeCreeper It might be called something else. Doing a quick google I find the following about cache and such-

Otherwise I'd do what you suggested and do a hard reset of the whole system and reinstall.@hayhor good find, I do a clean on the pc regularly that includes cashes. I've done it one on my xbox in 2 years.
