    the article i read mentioned graphic transitions, load times, and the odd occasional no-reason crash. These issues have not been reported on the ps4 version, and presumably xbox as well. Again, not "excusing" it for being a Switch port, but most Switch remasters/ports have been-

    @connorsmith1910 @InfinityWard Re-installed on Xbox series X, still bombs out at the cut screen. Useless. You know there is an issue because they won’t acknowledge anyone asking the question.

    @GoofynessoofGOO @HogwartsLegacy This is even happening on the PS5?!? You should see the performance on the Xbox series X! This game is a mess! Idk if they have the skills to fix this ****. I knew this would be an issue as soon as I knew a newer developer was taking the reins for this game.. smh.

    @RavenSoftware Hey, would it be too much trouble to allow me to fix my loadouts & actually play the game? Everything i click on sends me back to the xbox menu. Get your **** together! Respawn is kicking your asses!

  • imzantiwt Aquib Imzan (@imzantiwt) reported

    @XboxSupport please help I’m trying to log onto my Xbox and it keeps coming up with error code 0x800701c4 I’ve tried unplugging both my Xbox and my router but it still isn’t working. Help????

  • Yellowbug1969 Dave (@Yellowbug1969) reported

    @JimmyTwoTimes4 Checked the Xbox support feed and there’s a few with the same issue where trying to access the rewards app on Xbox prompts an “update your location settings” message. Definitely on the MS end but no doubt the tech support will think power cycling the console will fix it.

    @XboxSX89 @ymnisV2 Why don't you purchase games? Financial trouble? Lack of confidence in games released by Xbox Studio's? Listen to too many Influencers? Something else?

    @TheComfyGamer @NewsanceInHD @Xbox I mean, you're an Xbox fanboy who's going to deflect no matter what I bring forth to the convo. You are part of the problem supporting with blind loyalty when xbox customers are getting bent over

    @DeadByBHVR while this is a thing across all platforms, i've noticed this is more recurrent on Xbox consoles, every time i see someone with the Initialization Error is always an Xbox player
