The 2nd time its broke & now its out of warranty. First time I think the hdrive failed but this time it wont turn on properly.

Does Metro on the X keep freezing/crashing every 30min? As thats whats its been doing for a few days.
This X has never run hot though & even had a repair/service Oct18.

Does anyone have any ideas what this fault is or how much a repair would cost? thanks

It's Metro, it's pretty broken on the X. I had to stop playing it as it kept crashing the X every 10-30 minutes... Bioware have been aware of it since launch yet still no patch :(
 
I forgot the game was buggy before I bought I from the Argentina store. I guess I'll play something else whilst it gets sorted. Resident Evil zero used to make the One X turn off completely but they patched that recently apparently. :P

Not had any issues with Metro on mine done a fair bit of it now too. I did read about people having issues maybe it’s been patched ?

Nope it's not been patched, since day one... pretty poor show from the developers seeing most people playing on X have had issues with it since release. It was one of the games I was looking forward to this year but it's not playable for me in the current state and I keep checking every day for an update :(
 
Just got the X back from repair £60: It was the APU or in old money a red ring of death!

The repair guy said he was chuffed to be able fix it, by gently heating the solder points around the APU then nudging it back into place.
Since then Metro had a 53MB update but now it does not crash so could be the update or the X before?

Well its for sale now with a 3 month warranty, Kinect with adapter & many games:

You paid for a repair? Isn't the Xbox still in warranty? Mine is according to the Xbox website. I'd assume it would be fixed free under that still?

Were other games crashing or just Metro?

I've played Metro Exodus for an hour or two and it hadn't crashed my X Scorpio at all during that time.
 
Bought it a month after release in Nov17.
First broke Oct18 & m$ sent me a recon unit free of charge with 3 months warranty, which ran out Jan19.
I battled with m$ but their original warranty is 12months so they wanted £188 to send another recon unit. That's why I paid a £60 repair.

Just Metro crashed before but not now.

After breaking twice I'm really dissapointed with its build quality + recurring Gold fees but I never play online + higher game costs. Cancelled Gold & now going PC with err much cheaper game costs.

Plus none RTX Metro has been handicapped with obvious missing reflections it looks distracting in places... Checkout the lake scene early on.

Going 3rd Gen Ryzon when the prices settle & RTX.
