Hey all! I’ve had my Xbox series X for a year, it has always sat upright on my entertainment center. I just bought a house that the living room has a wood stove in it which is used to heat my house. Ever since we moved, when we start the wood stove the Xbox cannot run a game for more then 5 minutes without it running the error message for it being too hot. We have a large ceiling fan and a box fan moving hot air throughout the house from the living room, but the problem is not being fixed. I used computer duster to ensure the Xbox was sufficiently cleaned as well. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the Xbox nice and cool on my entertainment center? I know those cooling docks are usually a scam, but I can’t run a game at all and I need to run my wood stove to keep my house warm all winter in Idaho.
I couldn’t get into Starfield too much because it just felt like a ton of fast traveling and I wanted more space action similar to No Mans Sky with more RPG elements. I will use starfield to test it out though in my room to see if something is wrong internally with it. How many hours into starfield until it started crashing on saves for you? I have around 20-30 but dropped off of it. Just want to make sure I am diagnosing the correct issue lol
I’m not sure, maybe around 70 hours until it started happening a lot, like every hour. I haven’t played much since the last update though so I don’t know if they fixed the problem.
