Like others, the only noticeable difference in the console versions is that the “X” runs at 1440p, outside of that it runs just as bad as the other console versions.
Pop in is really bad, even on items in the world that are literally a few feet away from the character just pop in and disappear if you take a step back. Poor texture loading and textures just appearing. For example in the opening town, just walking from your parents house and down to the main part of town, textures on building are a horrid blur.
The games title screen shows this easily where the fence in the background is a blurry mess. The thing is, if you have the “disk” version of the game and you refuse the update, the title screen shows the actual textures on the fence. a user here posted a screenshot of it.
It just seems that outside of resolution, Warhorse put little effort into the “X” version. With 12gb of RAM (9gb available to games) should easily mitigate the texture loading issues and items just popping into the world merely a few feet away from the player.
I really hope that the devs work on making things better. I know many people that would buy this game if it was not full of bugs and if performance was better. Most of these people are PC gamers that do not have very good GPU’s and the “X” has run other games close to the PC High/Ultra settings, but for this game it seems like everything is set to low and the resolution is 1440p and that is about it. Not taking advantage of the hardware.
