I’m guessing it’s for less CPU load. I’m playing on the Xbox Ally X and I’ve noticed the game isn’t slow motion as often anymore and I can play at 1080p native instead of using FSR and still get solid performance.

I’ll try it out sometime this week and try to report back. The buttons are crazy loud.
SpinRash
Finally more posts about the button sound. My buttons on the original Z1E are not clicky like on the XAX. I think it’s because the rubber for the buttons is not as stiff. I’m going to swap the rubber button pad between them and see if it will make the buttons quieter on the XAX.

Best Buy repair sucks. You should have done a repair service with ASUS instead. Maybe take it back from worstbuy and send it off to ASUS?
SpinRash
Good luck everyone!
SpinRash
Sadly it’s an issue with the game. EA has not fixed it yet.

My favorite class is Engineer. I mostly play control so I need to take out those tanks. The RPG and the little robot are my favorite to use. The robot is a great infiltration unit to sneakily destroy the tanks and lay out mines.
SpinRash
No I agree. I think you’re making it out to be a big deal though.
SpinRash
I just looked up some comparisons on YouTube. The performance was a little better on the z1e.
SpinRash
Yeah you’re right. The white Xbox Ally isn’t as powerful as the Ally x or Ally z1e. The performance isn’t that much better on those two so you should still be fine. Maybe dropping the resolution more for the white Xbox Ally would make the performance more comparable. Microsoft did say the white Xbox Ally is for 720p gaming.
SpinRash
True, but the white Xbox Ally is about the same as the Z1E Ally and Ally x so I would use those settings from the website.

ROG Ally Life has a bunch of settings on their website. Here’s for TLOU part 1 and 2.

Do you remember what could have fixed the crashes for you? Someone else on this post said to install the optional windows updates and that fixed it for them.
SpinRash
The XAX has great performance yes, but the game constantly crashes. See this post on the EA forums. It’s not just an Xbox Ally issue it’s a PC issue. 1600+ comments on this post and EA has been silent for almost a month.
SpinRash
No fix. Ea has been silent on this issue, very frustrating.
SpinRash
Nope, still crashes. It’s a PC issue and affects the Xbox ally also. Bf6 runs fine in the original ally z1e, no crashes there.
SpinRash
You would redeem the key on whichever store you bought it for. Steam, Epic, Xbox. Then you download it from there.
SpinRash
Thank you kind sir/madam
SpinRash
What buttons did you get?
SpinRash
I recommend DYSMANTLE. It’s not a builder per se but you do destroy a lot of things and gather materials to craft and upgrade your gear.
SpinRash
You can probably use the settings from here although they are for the regular Ally. They haven’t created an updated settings for the XAX yet.

Did this end up working for you? I might try it tonight if so.
Do you know what CPU load you were at before the patch?
