Download Time

Greetings VirulentBear5,

'Normal' for downloading on Xbox LIVE is subjective. It all depends what your Internet speed is from your provider and what you are trying to download. Could you run
this speed test, post back your results and tell us what it is you are trying to download? Thanks.

From what I've experienced you can't play a game online while it's updating on the Xb1 and frankly I can't stand this. So sure the offline/Disc thing is quicker though the moment you're back online the "Needs an Update" nag will come on and basically not
let you play until that's done. Would be nice if you instead got the message reading "would you like to play while updating" though I guess this isn't an option coming to the ms console any time soon with the fragments of "always online" still affecting us.
No biggie really, just annoying since this isn't a multi platform problem.

Average install, time from disc is between 20 to 45 minutes with my console connected (wired). On 150Mb Fibreoptic. The disconnect trick works apparently but I've never had to use it.

The fastest way to install a new game if you have it on disc is to disconnect from the internet.

Let it load completely.

Then reconnect to the internet and open the game.

This will then prompt it to download any updates.

I find if I just play something else for a little bit the updates are done before I even think to check on them.

The problem with comparing to Xbox 36 games is the massive difference is size.

On Xbox 360, game downloads were usually 5-8GB for a big game. CoD: AW is 45GB or so.

There have also been widespread issues with everyone's downloads for this game being slow, which certainly does not help.

It very much depends on your download speed too (and the massive increase in size between Xbox 360 and Xbox One) but your future downloads should be faster than Advanced Warfare, which has been affected by some issues.
