Skeeuk on 20 November 2020

Hi. 

I'm happy with the S so far with gamepass ultimate and I've bought Black-Ops cold war. 

Black ops looks incredible its stunning but I have a question about it. There is a 11.2gb Ray tracing data package that you download. 

But whilst in game menu clicking R3 brings up everything you have installed eg

Campaign 

Zombies

Multiplayer

HD textures

????? But Ray-tracing data is missing. 

Any ideas how to enable?

“The versions tested were 1.004.000 on PS5 and 1.0.3.0 on Xbox Series X|S (both were using the latest version at the time of testing). The 120fps mode was captured at 1080p. Ray tracing was enabled in the 60fps mode tested on PS5 and Xbox Series X which uses a form of ray tracing for certain shadows. Xbox Series S doesn’t have a 120fps mode or a ray tracing mode.”

Though it sounds like you're not missing out on much. The ray tracing is supposed to be very subtle and only has a minor effect on shadows.

I've read this before but the series S installs 11.2gb of raytracing data but you can any option to turn it on. All other modules you can see in game menu. Ie you can 7ncheck it. But raytracing isn't found there but it's been installed?

Unfortunate that it have the pack to download but can't use it. Wasn't smartdelivery supposed to download what was the version adequate to the HW?

Smart Delivery is a backward/forward compatibility feature and doesn't apply to different versions between X1 and X1X or XSS and XSX.

It's true that Cold War doesn't support ray tracing on Series S but maybe it will in a future update so they made it possible to download it.

Besides, you can choose what to download and install so I don't see the problem:

Not sure what language this is but it apparently isn't supported. You can deinstall it though to clear some space.

CoD doesn't support smart delivery though. Blame Activision.

Yeah I just checked that aswell and found the same info.

Point still stands though, Smart Delivery is about buying a current gen version and being able to also install the next gen version on next gen consoles OR buying a next gen version and being also able to install the current gen version on current gen consoles.

Smart Delivery is not about buying a current gen version (X1) and installing it on Xbox One X with X enhancements OR buying a next gen version (Series X) and installing it on Series S without Series X enhancements.

Have I said there was a problem? I was just surprised because my understanding of Smart Delivery it would download the right version for the machine.

Understood, well blaming Activision is kinda pointless as we don't really expect much from them right?
