It's possible these are related. FPS boost was recently added. Can you try disabling it in the settings? This is turned on by default. Here are those steps:
- Navigate to My games & apps on your Xbox console.
- Move your cursor to an FPS boost-compatible game.
- Press the Menu button.
- Select Manage game and add-ons.
- Select the Compatibility options tile.
- Check/uncheck the FPS Boost box to enable/disable FPS Boost.
Let me know what happens. Thank you.
@EA_Aljo FPS Boost is greyed out because my tv doesn't support the 120hz. I don't know if adding the enhancements, even if some are locked, could have caused it.
- 4 years ago@EA_Aljo Hello I am having the same issue on series X. This wasn't happening a few weeks ago when I last opened the game. I have tried reinstalling which does nothing. My TV is also not 120Hz.
The below describes what happens:
1) I load up game; title screen appears in normal colour for about 2 seconds
2) A black screen appears for at least 40-60 seconds; can be up to 2 minutes
2) The title screen then reappears but this time it is not the normal colour; the colours are washed out/low contrast.
3) After skipping the intro video which comes seconds later, the washed out title screen reappears and stays for about 3-4 mins before finally loading the game. The flower is moving/rotating in lower right hand screen during this time.
Not sure how significant the washed out colours are. Hope this helps the team! Sorry I can't say if this is definitely since FPS boost update; I've been away from the game for a while. Although PvZ BFN is working fine. Thanks! - 4 years ago
Except for the washed out colors, it's been the same here. Also, the time it takes to zone into a game mode is a lot longer, too. I'm still not quite ready to do a factory reset yet though. As long as I can play the game, I guess I'll deal with it.
The fact that the city hall (in the backyard) is closed for a long time (currently, 3 weeks) is a bigger aggravation. Blocking access to the bird in there keeps me away, because I cap out at 200 stars and can't convert them to rainbow stars until the building opens. I'm at the point in my GW2 career that I'm playing to try to get all the items in sticker packs, so not being able to do this kills my reason to play.

Also, thanks to EA_Aljo for your attention to the issues on a game that's not exactly a flagship game anymore.
It's much appreciated.

Okay! The city hall opened today, so headed there first thing and converted all my regular stars to rainbow stars. So now I head into the quest board stuff, starting with 4 out of 200 stars to get. Did all 10 of the star reward quests and did not notice til they were done that I wasn't credited with ANY rewards for all the star quests. Game owes me 30 regular stars that I'll never likely get.
All the things broken are really starting to make me not even want to play this game anymore.

Just jumping in on this, I got game pass and my Son wanted to try this game. A brand new Xbox series X and the load time on this games is shockingly bad!
We are in July now so looks like you gave up trying to fix this. Typical EA.

I believe this is a game bug, as it's happened to me several times.
Whenever the town hall opens and you sell a bunch of regular stars (for rainbow stars), you don't usually get credit for quest rewards immediately after. The only way I've been able to fix it, is to quit the game after trading your stars and before doing quests. Then you get the rewards as you should. I don't know how many star rewards I've lost due to this bug. Now that I've figured out how to reproduce it, I just make sure to relog into the game after selling.

Same issue here except for title screen shows in normal color. Not sure it matters or not, but this happens on both a disc copy of the game & Microsoft Store version. Brand new Halo Xbox Series X console. All other games have zero issue with load times.
