Xbox Series S/X: Thread 05

[nonny]

The most interesting thing I've heard recently was from Digital Foundry about the visible stutter seen in the trailers.

They were talking to Todd Howard and apparently that isn't present in the game and was an issue with the video recording. Also Steam Deck received a patch yesterday in beta for an upcoming game most are assuming is this...

I'm sure we'll see Skyrim in space with some added systems....

On a mission to get a magical space sword, you come across a cave planet full of vampire aliens, you fight and kill them but contract alien vampirism and its a real pain as when your a full vampire you cant travel near any planets that are lit by a sun. To cure yourself of being a space vampire requires you to fly to the nearest space inn and ask the barkeeper if they "Heard any rumors lately" this will start you on the quest which involves trapping a space dwaf in a space soul gem and talking to a space druid to cleanse you.

Rewards seems to be borked again for me today. Worked fine initially but about halfway through the daily mobile searches it's stopped registering and the desktop searches won't pick up either. Daily Streak thankfully did but not sure how many more it'll give me today. Should wrap up the month having made around 25,000 in total though for August which isn't bad considering the aggressive nerfing MS has done this month

Yes same, thought they'd stopped the image search making it loads quicker to do counting towards it, but seems the text search isn't registering either. And despite clicking no cookies, somehow you still end up with between 38-45 cookies and it stops working until you clear them and start again. It seems to have many issues.

[Neon Ignition]

It's amazing how often they have issues with Rewards

[nonny]

I got rewards support contact me and give me 500 points for an issue I submitted back in May... I figure the rewards team must be 5-6 people globally at this point!?

I haven't had any issues recently but I've been really careful not to mess around with VPN and stuff as I remember Marty saying he had issues with it registering the right location before now.

Also just grabbed Starfield premium upgrade using points as we've decided not to go away camping this weekend (double win!)...

[MartyG]

It's still an issue on the Xbox for the rewards app for some reason, but it works on PC now without a VPN. I wasn't using a VPN to gain access to something unavailable in the UK tho, I was using it so that I could access UK stuff whilst being in the UK.

[Lebowski]

Seems like search is down today too, (desktop and mobile) it's not registering points across any of the browsers i tested today, everything else seems fine. It seems that Microsft have really nerfed the earning potential from this massively recently, the punch cards have gone the monthly xbox quest is now half the reward and the weekly treasure is gone too. im betting their gonna phase it out completely for a more restrictive system no doubt.

[nonny]

Just checked and yep mine is borked... browser searches not counting.

The Rewards app on the Xbox itself looks depressing for much of the month now, barely anything on it

[wheelaa]

Just got the 90 PC search points.

(Don't know if the mobile searches are working as I don't do them. Will try Edge searches on console later.)

[Tobal]

working for me through bing on pc for both searches with a auto-searcher ( though i do right click the page and inspect, which is setup to go into mobile dev mode for mobile searches)

Yeah it all looks a bit sad at the moment like a digital version of a Wilko's.
