Xbox Series backwards compatibility is excellent – but performance gains are limited in 30fps capped games like Skyrim and Fallout 4… except these games have mods… mods that can unlock the frame-rate, producing a dramatically better experience. Rich and John take a look.

  1. Gave this a go on XsX. If you stay away from foliage mods it is quite alright. But as soon as you touch (even the Light weight ones) you get very noticable dips and tree flickering.
    Enhanced Vanilla Trees worked best. Almost no loss. But I'd leave the grass vanilla or even put something even Lighter there.

    Opinions vary ofc. But I'm caught between a rock and a hard place now.
    Amazing look and 30fps stable or Lighter modding and 40-60 in some forest areas etc.
    I would absolutely love 60fps. But stable. But the loss looks terrible on my 4k tv (No VRR).

    This game really needs hands on by either Microsofts BC team or Bethesda. I'd put more faith in MS.

  2. this game should run at 60fps already on one X and ps4 pro with their prehistoric engine , Bugthesda are the laziest Devs out there, when i see fallout 4 running like shit on ps4-pro i wonder how ppl could buy that shit ?

  3. I wish that Call of Duty games on console had mod support. Can you imagine playing iw4x, BO2 Plutonium, MW3 Teknogodz on Xbox & Playstation? Would be heaven! Especially if Activi$ion decides to shut down official server support for thier older titles.

  4. I have played Skyrim Special Edition on my Xbox One X and the graphical assets have not tanked the performance at all, in fact it just made the experience better. I mean as a cultured weeb I also want my beauty mods on too. What sucks is the 5GB mod space limit.

  5. You can't run these game at 60+ fps without breaking them. The physics calculations are based on the frame rate. So anything above 60 results in very weird stuff happening.

  6. Don't Patronize my One X Console
    It's perfect don't break my spirit to get out there and buy a Series X Understand ? :/
    37 FPS still great i don't wanna spend tons of money to get a 1TB storage for $250 ok ?
    get off my back :/
    I'll buy a Series X as soon as it gets a 2TB version with the same price ok ?
    now go away

  7. Getting a patch for Xbox and Playstation through certification is quite costly but I think Sony and Microsoft should waive those costs for updates that are basically settings tweaks to enable 60fps on the new consoles. In fact perhaps they should incentivize developers to release such patches in some way as it would make the new consoles more attractive for customers while we wait for proper new-gen games

  8. I spend the last 6 days modding skyrim on my series x since it came to game pass and i managed to run it at 60 fps with 132 mods installed (full 5GB) and it looks awesome now and plays well. For anyone with performance issues for me the only mod that causes heavy fps drops is the grass mod veydosebrom dense. Tried figuring out what cause the fps drop for like 5 hours…

  9. the reason why those two games are not dying is because of deep offline gaming with a huge map and plenty of side quests and free roaming along side with MODS!!. mods are very important, i like changing things the way i want, i wish we could do that to other non bethesda games like GTA and so on.. BTW Series S is a beast, i will get one for sure with a PS5
