auto update?

On the xbox one wasn't there suppose to be a setting so that any updates that came out automatically download to your console? Example, today an update came out for bf4 but I had to enter the game before the download would start. Or have I miss understood
this and this only happens for firmware updates?

All I want to hear about is Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto V

 

Xbox One doesn't auto update games or apps

My x1 has never auto updated games or apps can someone please help?

It's a launch edition x1, instant on is setup and the auto update downloading box checked. Firmware is up-to-date.

Unfortunately my x1 has never auto updated which is real annoying

 

Is your console on standby mode? I have mine on insta on mode and haven't been troubled by updates for any games so far so I assumed they were happening in the background.

 

Not sure then amigo! I'm sure another forumite will step up though!

 

Check your background download settings (if the xbox one has such an option), the 360 and the PS4 both have the option to either enable or disable background / standby downloads so I assume the case will be the same here.

 

I noticed with BF4 it downloads the update for me but when I start the game it then says it needs an update. I think it downloads the patch in the background but actually requires you to manually install it if that makes sense.

 

Hmmmm maybe thats whats happened then. Will keep an eye on this. Cheers marknally

 

Hi!

I have the exact same problem right now. Everything is set to auto download update, but I just started Forza 5 and it require to download an update...

Anyone found a solution to this?

 

I think its what mark said in the post above me. If you have the xbox set to instant on the it will download the patch for you but wont install it till you go to play the game. Only then it notifies you about the update and asks you to install it.

 

^ Nope as the DR3 13gb installed for me without a prompt and all other game updates have, the only update that hasnt actually installed was the recent firmware update which only started to install when I turned the console on. Can honestly say I have not
noticed a single game update since launch.

 

None of my updates install either, I try and start a game after a patch has come out say BF4 and it says needs installing then I have to wait for it to install before I can play. Have had it on instant on since launch and all settings correct but it just
doesn't work for me just like these forums.

 

So what have you got your settings set to Genchy? I will copy you and see what happens.

 

My games have all auto updated, unless I'm impatient and launch the game as soon as I hear an update is available.

If game updates are anything like the system updates then they probably don't even start downloading until off peak times.

 

@ Campotech It has been days later after the patch has been released when I have gone to play the game.

@ Genchy yes please post up your settings and I will put mine to the same (I honestly think/know mine are already the same) to see if it makes a difference, thanks.
