I had been in xbox insider delta for months before recently getting into beta. Something I've noticed about the insider features for cloud gaming is that on Xbox when I stream the game, it's not very consistent. Though I have game pass ultimate, in the settings and without getting too detailed I can choose the exact quality of my stream. But even then the stream is quite lower quality on xbox than when I stream from the xbox app on my laptop. On my low end gaming laptop, depending on, if I choose performance or quality mode in the game. My stream will switch correctly between 1440p or 1080p and about 30/40/60fps. Versus on xbox I am almost always stuck at 1080p, at least one time it said 720p and sometimes I get 1440p. The frames I get is around 60 fps but a lot of times is about 30 fps regardless of the quality or performance mode I choose. Also the image tends to be more blurry and has more input lag, plus more jitter. To be clear, I am not talking about going onto the xbox.com Xcloud gaming page in order to cloud stream with xcloud. I am talking about natively cloud streaming from your console or pc/laptop xbox app. Lastly, I have tried this out on both my 1440p 165hz monitor and my 4k 120hz tv same result for my xbox each time. What do you guys think?

Update: (I took my console back into the repair shop. They removed the dried paste that were on the edges and added more paste where it seemed beneficial. Now my Xbox is working smoothly again with no smell. Hopefully this issue does not happen again after the paste is finished settling in after a couple of weeks. I can definitely say the overheating was not a result of an insider update.) I am curious to see if anyone else is experiencing the overheating problem that I have been. I already reported the bug, but some background I just had my xbox cleaned and re-thermal pasted a couple weeks ago. Since then, my xbox has been much quieter and running almost like it did when it was brand new. I got my xbox in December 2021 and have never really had much issues with it. Lastly, my xbox is in an open area standing straight up with room for the vent to do its job. I noticed this at around one in the morning when I was playing sparking zero my console got decently warm in the first 15 minutes of playing. Then after about an hour, I noticed a smell that was not quite smokey or burning but you know getting there. I put my hand on all sides of the consoles one at a time and felt it was super hot. So I closed out of the game and turned the console off. Later on at around 4pm I tried to play the first descendant and only played for 10 to max 15 minutes. I noticed the console got super hot again. But before I could do anything, it shut itself off. Normally, I could play sparking zero or the first descendant for around two hours before I have to worry about the xbox series x overheating like this and that was before I had it cleaned. Let me know if anyone else has had any experience like this due to the update released. Series X issue RESOLVED!
