Hi all! My problem continues and is not being solved. I serviced the console, it is fully functional and there are no problems with it and there is no overheating in other games.
I know that someone may experience overheating with Call of Duty, even with the last part on Series X, i didn’t experience this. My console does not crack to crazy temperatures, does not make noise, it is clean and works absolutely properly.
I know that someone has already had problems with overheating in MSFS, this happened, but as I understand it, everything was solved with a patch or update.
I’m not going to buy EXTRA fans, seriously? I have nothing to do? Maybe you can fix your game and it will work as before, like, for example, in the month of May?
If I got an overheating error in every heavy game, I wouldn’t write here, but overheating only occurs in MSFS. There is no overheating in any top game, EVEN STARFIELD.
I’ll say more, I took my friend’s Series X and he also had an overheating message.
In general, I don’t know what happened, either with your game or with the 737-800. Something is seriously crashing my Xbox.
I hope you see my message.
Thank you.
I do know that AAU2, caused cpu spikes observed by a good group of people now. It increased the overall running temp of cpu’s, and also spikes that would hit throttle temps on both amd, and intel cpu’s. I’m sure the xbox isn’t free from that either. I’ve never had my pc shut down, But I did observe some crazy temps at points. Right up almost to my throttling point. I haven’t seen this cpu get that hot… ever. Not even in stress tests, which are built to punish hardware to test stability. Max 84C!!! That is 11 degrees hotter than any stress test will get my cpu to. So this isn’t entirely unfounded that spikes, with the pmdg, which is heavy on resources could cause that. You’d think though, as stated earlier in the thread. There would be a lot more evidence of it.
Thank you for writing about your problem. It was not for nothing that I thought that the last update, which was in June, was to blame for all this. I am very sorry that many people believe that the problem is specifically on the user’s side and that he allegedly has some problems, but as we see, the problem exists on PCs and is quite serious, since processors are overclocked to 84%. For a console, these are simply lethal numbers.
I hope that the update coming this Thursday will solve this problem, otherwise I will have to forget about MSFS on Xbox and build a PC. ALTHOUGH THERE ALSO IS A PROBLEM WITH OVERHEATING. GREAT!
If the problem is not widespread, this does not mean that it does not exist. I hope the developers see my post…
My Xbox will necessarily shut down and report a overheat message when I try to fly over Slovenia and east-north Italy，and this will even occur in a few minutes after I spawn the plane at the airport of Ljubljana,the capital of Slovenia.
Though it told me it was overheated, but in fact the shell of my xbox was cool and its fan was running quietly. And this issue will NOT happen in other places, for example ,in KJFK. The fan will make a terrible noise when flying over NewYork ,but the xbox won’t shut down. Interesting.
Hello and thanks for your feedback! This is really important because the problem is serious and I think we are not the only ones who have encountered this.
When I fly in Europe, there is a 99% chance that I will get a console shutdown and an overheating message. But this may not only be Europe. It’s the same in the USA, just recently I had this happen at PANC. Or maybe overheating won’t happen. For example: I was flying from Amsterdam to Copenhagen (EHAM-EKCH) at night and my console overheated and shut down. And when I flew the same route the next day during the day, there was no overheating. This is very interesting, but also very disturbing to me, because I know that this has not happened before.
The most interesting thing is that shell of my xbox not heat up, this is true, the fan runs quietly and calmly, as during a normal game.
I have high hopes that the update coming on September 28 will fix this situation…
Also, if I fly from ELLX to LICJ (Luxembourg - Palermo) the console will definitely turn off and write about overheating and this will happen 5-10 minutes after departure. 100%
Well I’ve tried it in the SU13 beta and … the upcoming udpate dosen’t help.
Surely there is something wrong…but I have no idea why. The MSFS has so many bugs on XBox that I’m wondering if I should buy a new PC .
Well…It’s sad to hear that this problem is not resolved in the SU13 beta. The saddest thing is that this is not just a bug, it’s a bug that crashes Xbox and very seriously.
This “overheating” does not occur to everyone, but this is a mistake by the developers, it cannot be denied, and ordinary users cannot be blamed for having problems with their consoles. The error is only in MSFS, nowhere else.
Assembling a PC is also not an option, because the person on top, due to the summer update, heats up the CPU to the temperature of the sun, which is also catastrophic.
Please pay attention to this problem. It cannot be denied, it exists, it occurs among users and it must be solved. The consoles are positioned correctly, there is enough air, there is no dust. Such errors can sooner or later break the console itself.
Lol.. I think it might be a little much to say all bets are off and neither xbox or pc will ever be able to run the game again… Also we shouldnt throw all the blame on the sim… all you have to do is look at a few dissatisfied reviews on amazon about the xbox and you will see a common problem of the xbox overheating for who knows why. Im on Xbox myself and saw that some units overheat for some random mystery reason.. but all the same, a good look should be taken at both the sim and the xbox side of things. And trust me i know how frustrating it is to have a problem you dont know how to fix.
Overheating problem with COD on Series X?
-It was decided by a patch
Problem with Diablo 4?
-It was decided by a patch
I know that there is such a problem with overheating, but I would not create this topic if this problem did not appear out of nowhere. I’ve been playing MSFS since its launch on Series X, the most I could encounter is CTD or a black screen.
But somehow magically after the update in June the game began to overheat the Xbox.
And what should I do? Stop playing or what?
you havent bought any third party scenery or anything like that right?
I removed everything except PMDG 737-800 and their liveries
did you see if the xbox got any updates around the same time as the problem started? just a shot in the dark.. but something had to change to make the problem occur, and if you can rule out everything aside from the sim update than you would have a pretty good case to bring to Microsoft. The only problem is that most of the other Xboxs arent havent this problem… at least not yet.
I played MSFS until about June, when the June update had not yet come out. Everything was absolutely normal. On June 10, I stopped playing because I went on a business trip for 2 months and returned only on August 4. That’s where I first encountered this problem in the skies over Europe.
While I was on a business trip, I pulled out the plug from the socket on my Xbox, so it could not have been harmed.
The only update I received after returning from business trips was the new global update for Xbox from Microsoft.
Im assuming you’ve tried just an old fashioned hard reset by holding the power button for 10 seconds or so
Certainly. I did a full console reset
This might have been previously mentioned but im too lazy to go and check lol… when it says its overheating is the xbox actually hot on the outside?
Not hot. Absolutely. I will say more, it does not make noise and works as it should work, quietly, calmly
heres a link I found which sounds similar to what your problem is… bad news… they dont know how to fix it..
