Last gen people who aren't planning on switching or buying ssd soon, what will you do?

My boyfriend and I both play on last gen Xbox One and apart from some minor lag and stuttering, the game is running just fine.

Reminder that:
- A bunch of people cannot upgrade to the "superior next gen hardware" and likely will not be able to for months
- DBD is not that complex, the graphics aren't even that of Apex, it should not be struggling on PS4 and Xbox One, given these consoles' power.
- RE8 runs at a stable 30FPS on console, DBD does not, proving that the issue is not the hardware but DBD itself
- Apex has bigger maps and more players on screen, yet has no frame drops whatsoever. Again, proof that it's DBD.
Like, it's fairly obvious that it's DBD. "5 year old hardware" is not that outdated in the slightest and people keep underestimating the power that the "last gen consoles" have to excuse BHVR.
Besides, if the thing about the game loading up every single file for a trial is true, PS5s and other consoles will begin to lag a few chapters later too. And things will just repeat themselves.

Interesting. You are probably the only person here (I might have seen one more) to say this.
No crippling freezes especially as/against nemesis that affect the gameplay in negative way?
I am on ps4 pro but would love to see a video or two of your nemesis games. It might help us discover something we are missing because devs said it is hdd issue and people who switched to ssd see the improvement.
If you can't I understand. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I mean it's definitely worse then before. But it's no where near unplayable/game breaking. And it's not bad enough to make me stop playing the game or have fun with it.
All the complaints really do baffle me as an Xbox player. I can definitely see that there are issues but the issues are so minimal for me.

Game is not freezing for a second or two when some action takes place? For example when I dead hard I just freeze in place. Killer hits me with sloppy game just freezes. Whenever something happens somewhere else that happens too.
There are a lot of video examples in optimisation thread of people experiencing similar issues.
I can't consider this playable, that is why I am not playing since it worsened last patch.

It occasionally does freeze with certain actions. Like being hit, someone being hooked, ect. But like you said it only lasts a second or two so it doesn't really affect me negatively.
The only time I really get angered by the freezes is when it happens during a skill check but that actually rarely happens as well.

Wait so last gen consoles HAVE to buy a ssd to play? The heck? What happened to the optimization from 3 years ago? This is why they need to think of consoles as well, not just pc, I am on pc and find this bs.

For reals.

You ######### legend lmao, for people who are sensible and won't be getting an SSD, just take some comfort in the fact that the SSD fixes everything, that means bhvr have the power to address this issue and people saying the hardware's too old are just uneducated on the issue and it's purely a code problem that can be fixed.

My Xbox1x came with a variety of SSD in it. Pulsar also has the same Xbox and tried an SSD on his, and it made no difference to the freezes, stutters, and lags.
So this "solution" won't help either...

It does help there are people in the SSD thread who have switched and have the same results, the Xbox comes with a hybrid ssd which isn't really an SSD at all, it's a step up from a basic HDD but it's nowhere near the SSD level of performance.

I realize it helps other consoles, just saying not Xbox1x machines

100% this.

Someone bought a SSD the for the Xbox one and has had all stutters fixed and the frame rate is stable, as I'm a playstation user, what is the difference between original Xbox 1 and a 1x ?

It literally lags constantly. Imagine going to make a save and in the middle of the animation, you literally freeze for six seconds. That's not an exaggeration. Every interaction with the killer, your game freezes. I vaulted a window the other day on my way to make a save and was frozen there for three seconds. It's constant. I can't use DS, and maybe Dead Hard works once out of four or five tries. Just regular skill checks are incredible difficult because your game freezes.

It has a 1T memory hybrid SSD instead of the older HHD, is four times stronger than the regular Xbox1, and downloads like twice as fast if not more. Microsoft claimed it was the strongest of the proir gen machines, even a PS4 Pro.

Then that would confirm the SSD would work for your model like the original Xbox 1, the problem again lies in the hybrid it comes with.
Don't get it twisted though the problem lies on BHVR's shoulders and it is not for you to fix with your wallet, I was lucky enough to have an SSD lying about from my PC to try it with. The good news now is bhvr know what's causing all the issues and they appear to be working on it.

I'm just not playing as much. Playing in short bursts so I don't get too fed up, switch games constantly.

Basically this as well.

Its not your console thats at fault. As soon as the visual rework started the game has had performance issues, even on PC.
1 -
What I am saying is Pulsar also has an Xbox1x like mine, and had a SSD lying about and tried it on his, and found no improvement to the frames and such.

Play darkest dungeon, and skullgirl second encore.

I'd like to point out I HAVE an SSD and the game still runs like #########, it helps sure but it's still really bad.
Also why are consoles stuck on ultra settings?
We can't see #########

What console are you on exactly ? And is the SSD pure or hybrid ? Would be really helpful for information if you don't mind.
