Console wont patch any games. It downloads the game instead.

Rafoca2016 · Jun 10, 2016

I own two consoles here. One console updates all games fine. The other one always shows me the "installation stopped" message and then downloads the game completely. It happens to everygame. I then tried using my gamertag on the console that works and the
game updated fine, so I dont think its an issue with my gamertag.

Im part of the preview, but this is happening for months now, even with public and stable releases of system software

Did the patch for the GwG version go online in North America yet?

You can download patch with the disk, BUT the downloaded games with gold version will NOT detect the update. I even deleted the patch, and re download it, and it still wont detect the patch.

Slow install of disk games on my hard drive

see my fix in here. Before installing game, turn internet off, install game from disc, THEN turn internet on to download patch etc. It wants to download game from internet instead of game disc.

Hi rafoca

As you are part of the preview program this issue is best posted there as you have already done so.

No one answered. Also, as I said, this is happening even if the system build is not a preview build

Thats fair, its annoying because it seems like only my xbox, when these big updates happen, instead of just downloading the update, re downloads every file. For examole the latest Balder gate patch should only be 20gb max, im downloading the whole 138 gb again. I understand some patches being big but xbox is the only one that doesnt just download a patch but the entire game.

It happens every time a game updates.

I started downloading this patch at 130 pm. Its now 925 pm and only progressed 98 gb. So likely wont be playing BG3 this weekend at all.

I cant play any popular multiplayer game like fortnite, cod etc because every "update" is really just downloading the entire game again. Id be happy to download 20 gb but not 100 or 200gb plus in cods case.

Is there a way to stop xbox downloading a whole game to update because that does seem exlusive to xbox.

Sorry if it my issue doesnt come across clear im not that good with words.
