Outer Worlds over heats XB One X

[Derek Matthews]

Hi all

XB1X crashes in the energy plant on Outer Worlds. Gives me an over heating message. However console is cool to the touch and has proper ventilation. Game is unplayable. Help please

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if your console is overheating then it's faulty.

 

I used to have the same problem in the community screen in State of Decay 2. It only ever did it in that game but I got the console repaired  because it was still under warranty and it hasn't happened since.

 

Just makes sure there is loads of ventilation around it and maybe hoover the vents. Also don't rest your external drives on top of it either.

 

If it still happens after you made sure there is enough ventilation then it probably needs a repair. If it's not under warranty then there are youtube videos on changing the thermal paste on the xbox one X that may help. But it's best only to do that yourself if you know what you are doing.
