I don't have the game but i thought i would post this for xbox one owners in hoping it gets fixed. Seems xbox one version has stutter's lasting up to 1 second and are quite noticeable when loading or going to new area's.

Example 2:05 of issue on xbox one

I think what really bothers me about the low FPS on Xbox One is that the game is on the whole quite visually unappealing. As I first emerged from the vault in the game's early segments, the frame rate was stable and I remember thinking, well this game looks muddy as hell, but I guess you have to sacrifice some things for a stable frame rate. It wasn't until later that I realized the game had somehow sacrificed both texture quality and frame rate.

So what does the frame rate stuttering do to the gaming experience?

In my experience, the game is severely altered by it's low frame rate. Every time a feral ghoul leaps at me, the game stutters just a tick, and totally throws off my ability to kill them in mid air. The controls feel perpetually sluggish, with aiming and strafing becoming more challenging than in other shooters.

I have been a long time Bethesda fan. I dont even what to calculate how many hours I put into Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim. But, with the release of Fallout 4 I find myself not wanting to boot the game back up. I just dont want to spend anymore time stuttering around the wasteland.

A Final Question:

Does anyone have the new Xbox One Experience yet? Does the game run better on the new OS? The new OS is supposed to have a smaller footprint than the current OS. Maybe that is how guys like Arthur Gies were able to give the game a 9.5/10, seemingly having not experienced the train wreck I have been playing.

Am I missing something? This isn't just a slight stutter and it doesn't just seem to cause a minor problem. This is A HUGE UNPLAYABLE MESS. The factory that you have to clear for the settlers is completely unplayable the moment flames are visible on the screen. In fact, further investigation will lead you to this conclusion: fire, explosions, and any complex visual effects will make the game completely unplayable.

What is the value of a game that is unplayable?

I'm using an Xbox One with New Xbox One Experience update.

Experiencing issues as well on xbox one

I have not had the chance to play it on XBOX one yet, I will later tonight once I get home. My biggest question during all of these issues coming to light is where is Bethesda???? Are they know acknowledging these problems at the very least? I understand it may take time to get a patch out which i'm ok with because nothings perfect unfortunately and these things happen. What i cant live with is if a company does not make a comment regarding the issue. I'm wondering how this problem also was never discovered during testing. I hope they resolve the issue. If not and they let modders fix it for them then im done with Bethesda.

With it being such a big release for them, i would be very surprised if they dont have a patch out ASAP, just a shame it was released with the issues.

Dam this is disappointing i was hoping to get XB1 version but based off the posts.

Mostly because i prefer the controller over ps4 and it gets mod's first.

I have not had that issue there. I am just having an issue finding the boss since I keep on getting lost there. I might just be lucky at the moment. I am actually surprised that it is working this well since other day one games I had on Xbox 1 had a few more issues than I have had. I have only had an issue with some sub titles not advancing in conversation.

edit

Hopefully we can find what the issue and resolve the issue.

I am using a digital version of the game and the default HDD that came with my refurbished Xbox one.

Digital foundry did test seems be HDD related.

i havent experienced the xbox one issue of the game freezing for a second or so when running around new areas.

but ive seen videos of it happening so i know it exists and i just havent had it happen to me.... yet!

definitely needs fixing before i experience it!

the digital foundry article on eurogamer points towards SSD's fixing the issue on xbox one, aswell as having the side effect of speeding up loading naturally.

this seems to be an unoptimized or buggy background streaming issue to me, and one that needs addressing.

it doesnt happen on the ps4 and the ps4 harddrive is the same speed and design as the xbox one.

i know generally bugs are fixed on beth games (upto a point where they simply get fed up with patching) but i dont want to see any dlc/killcam added animations or other crap until this specific error is sorted on xbox one.

You just watch, they will 'fix' the issue by decreasing the quality of the textures. But the patch will take another 30GB to install worse textures!

Hey Bethesda how about release the game in working order? It's your fault you released it in its current state, you should give a refund and withdraw all current copies and distribute the game with the patch. This is not a finished product so you fix it.

I sincerely hope the fix isn't to reduce graphics. Only in heavy combat do I see the drop to which your shouldn't do anyways. Do the update right the first one please Beth!

The game should have been 900p on both consoles for a smooth 30.

I am not having any issues at all and I have about 10+ hours played so far. I get maybe a second or two of slower frames when entering a new zone by loading screen. All other times the frame rate has been stable even with a lot of stuff happening.

I am surprised it is working this well for me at launch. I believe there will be further tweaks from the team and hopefully with the new OS upgrade to the Xbox One maybe that will boost the performance as well.

It has been smooth sailing for me so far. I even saved and reloaded probably ten times outside Diamond city (first time the player gets to the gates) and it never once dropped to 0 frames like it did in the video. There is some hitching here and there of maybe 1/4 of second at most but I have been really impressed with how smooth the game has been for me.

I am honestly blown away that I could play 15 hours into a Bethesda game, at launch, with out any significant problems hampering the experience.

dont listen to that user. he hasnt got a clue what hes talking about. sounds like hes just got a chip on his shoulder about something.

I'm experience stuttering and framerate drops on the Xbox One as well. I am also unable to even start the game at this point as I can't get past the "push any button to start game" loading screen.

So we bought a game which I shouldn't use as I want to make the FPS better? Sorry that's not my fault.

And screw you to the idiot who said I have a chip on my shoulder. I paid full price so I should get what is promised.

No problems on the XBox ONE.

Best Practice for XBox ONE:

- Disconnect from the Internet. Load the game from disc.

- If you've got the digital version turn everything else off and download the game and leave it alone.

- DO NOT START even if it says READY TO START.

- Reconnect to the internet and download required patches by selecting the game.

There you go. Loaded up much faster and will work fine.

Been playing with the day one patch for over 20 hours and I haven't had any problems. But I know overheating is still a thing for xboxs even if no one is saying anything about it. That might be something to look at for people who have stuttering or low fps.
