This is what I wanted to do, let my horse train on one xbox and play stellaris on another. So I just bought a xbox s, if i make the xbox x the home xbox, then take the xbox s with a new account, and do game share will I be able to let bdo run on the xbox s, or will it not be able to log into my bdo account because its linked to the xbox x account? Then play stellaris on the xbox x. When I am done with training the horse and feel like playing again, can I then log off the xbox s , and log back onto my bdo account on the xbox x so I can play at 4k?

Or would I have to let the xbox x run bdo, and then play stellaris on the s? I would rather have it running 24 7 on the s, since I have a warranty of 2 years on it, doubt it will brake but I dono if they were designed to run 24 7 for weeks at a time. 

I know I cant switch the home xbox back and forth for ever cause it is limited to 5. Now that I write this though I am not sure I can do what I want, which is switch back and forth from the s to the x on bdo.

Thanks for any help.

If I am understanding your question you are asking if you can double-box one account at the same time?  That would be a no.

You can run two separate accounts at the same time like we did last night.  My son made a Ranger and played her in the family room while I worked through the Otter fishing quest line in the living room.

Nope I dont want to play 2 black deserts at once. I want to play black desert on the xbox s while I play stellaris on the xbox x, and then when I want to play bdo again after the horse grinds, play it back on the xbox x. 

Basically I like to play stellaris at night streaming, but I also like to leave my horse grinding. 

But I am starting to think it's not gonna work like I have it planned out Haha. I think when I game share it from the xbox x to s. It will allow me to download black desert online, but when I try to log in its gonna make me make a new account. Because I dont see any user name and password to log into bdo, so my guess would be that it is linked to my xbox account, which if I use game share it wont have the same link. 

Since I bought it at gamestop I cant open it, try it and if it fails take it back. They dont do that unless you call thier headquarters and start complaining. So hopefully some one actually tried this cause if it's not gonna work like I think, it is a waste of 300 dollars, though I did get it on sale for 249.99.

Ok I see!

I don’t think you can do that...gamesharing works because you set one box to be your “home” one and the other you are technically remote signing in. (Like you would while away from home but at a friend’s who has an Xbox)

So in my scenario the OG box (effectively my son’s now) is in the living room in the old flatscreen. My One X is in the living room on the Ultra HD screen. I’ve set my son’s Xbox as the “home” one and am signed into mine. 

What this means is if I wanted to I could sign into his and play, but it will sign me out of mine. 

So yeah, you could stream Stelaris but you would have to do it on a new Xbox live account (or BD on a new one) neither of which I think you want to. 

Sorry. ?

Thank you very much for explaining it, I appreciate it.

Hmm so I think then to make this work, I would have to buy black desert on the xbox s. Then download it, but instead of logging into the xbox s account log into the xbox x account on bdo. This would make it so I can't log in on the xbox x to bdo, but it shouldn't sign me out, because I think bdo and xbox servers should be separate. 

This way I can grind on the s, play stellaris on the x. When I want to actually play bdo i can quit bdo on the s, and then log into the x. 

Which will only cost a extra 10 bucks.

That would work, I wasn’t sure how much progress you have made and Black Desert so far

I didnt want to lose it, I'm gonna try to log onto my xbox x bdo account through bdo when I log into bdo from the xbox s account. Hopefully I can switch like that. If you get a moment could you do me a favor and check if you can switch between bdo accounts from your 2 xbox's? 

Sounds more of a can you be on your xbox live account on two xboxes at the same time. One playing one game and the other playing bdo. If that is the question it is a no.

Well for anyone interested in doing this, it def works. I sucked it up and bought another xbox x. So what happened was it let me download black desert on the second xbox on game share, but when I tried to login to my black desert account it logged me out of the first one. So what I had to do is on the second x box is play stellaris which it let me download from my original account. 

Which is what I kinda figured, so that's why I bought another xbox x, to keep the benefits. 

So by the looks as long as the game you want is not a online one with a account, since online games with accounts linked  to your xbox account logs you out of the first xbox. It definitely shared my gold though and all the games.

Very since horse training takes forever lol. I have had these 2 training now for over 20 hours and they arent 30 yet. Which def sucks if you only have one xbox and its ties up horse training.Very since horse training takes forever lol. I have had these 2 training now for over 20 hours and they arent 30 yet. Which def sucks if you only have one xbox and its ties up horse training. Just wish I could of saved the 120 lol, by having a xbox s first cause the horse training xbox def doesnt benefit from having a faster CPU, more ram, and a better GPU. Though even 2 xbox xs and a x box s are still cheaper than the gaming laptop I took back.

I want to add also it didnt make me buy another black desert game on the second xbox, its letting me make a new character.

Glad it’s all working out for you! Just like my new-found ability to stream BD to my iPad and free up the TV. ??

I was reading about that, almost made me want to buy one. I've been using my cheap laptop. Very nice that it works. Wish they made it work for android OLED laptops, are expensive, and the only oled phone from I phone is super expensive.

Yeah, I was seriously looking into a very cheap windows 10 computer or tablet before I realized that only six months ago an app came out that allows us to do game streaming to iOS devices. Honestly has changed my life! Now I don’t have to hog the TV if my wife, or I, I want to watch television shows while I’m playing some black desert. Haven’t even tried playing at any other games yet since I’m so sucked into the BD life right now.

Bd is like that Haha. How's the screen on a I pad I've never owned one? The colors good, and no screen tear? I am thinking about buying one when I take the xbox s back I bought, since game share doesnt work 3 ways lol.

Well since the iPad I am using is not ultra HD it runs smoother off that. No tearing.

I am not sure that the xbox can stream 4k. Thanks for letting me know it looks good now I just gotta decide Acer spin or iPad lol.

Very good point!  Ultimately it does not matter to me since I have no portable 4K screens...and I’m looking for portability no looks. I tend to do non-intensive play on the iPad. ??

And you're welcome!

Btw I just figured out something rather important, I thought I would share. So I orginally was playing bdo at 4k, and streaming it to my PC. It looked bad and was capping st 16 mbps for some reason. Which I figured out is because at 4k it caps it at 30fps. When I switched the xbox to 1080p 120hz, forced 4k off, put it to PC rgb mode. Now it caps at 33 mbps and looks 10 times better. No more blurry crap all over. 

I was wondering why it was capping at 16. 16mbps is no where near enough to stream a 1080 60fps picture with out it looking like crap. With those settings tho and it not capping at 16 mbps it's hard to tell the difference between the 2, as far as quality of the ingame picture. My TV is way better quailty screen than my 200 dollar acre lol.

Mind you, that is going to require a 5ghz connection to your iPad, so you can constantly get over 40mbps to make it not skip.

I split my xfinity signal to create a dedicated 5ghz network and have my one x hard wired. ??
