  1. Exceedingly large game updates


    So whenever I update a game, any game, the update size is usually the size of the actual game itself. I've had 32 gb updates for ARK and 60 gb updates for BLOPS 3 when my friends say theirs were only 8 gigs. This is a problem for me because I have data limits
    with my internet provider. Help?

    :)

    Bigger the game. More big the update.

    game updates so large why ?

    Chris- you would need to take that up with the publishers and developers on their forums. Large patches and game content are here to stay and only getting larger. Also I am not sure where you get your comparison to the sizes of the PS4 and X1- Both of
    my systems get very large updates.

    I recommend looking into whether your ISP can offer you a higher cap or another plan. I know its not optimal, but its probably the future trend.

    Hey DINNCA DINNCA!

    Unfortunately, we're unable to help with data caps on our end, but it might be necessary to pick and choose what games and apps you want updated. We recommend having your Xbox One console on

    Instant-on
    if it isn't already. Additionally, you might want to chat with your ISP to see if there's any options to increase your data cap.

    If you have any additional Xbox support questions, please do not hesitate to ask us!

  5. Hey,

    I'm currently having the exact same issue and it's only started happening in recent weeks! This is the first time I've found someone with the same issue! I've had 3 Microsoft Support Chats recently and had no luck. They got me to do a factory reset which
    fixed a different download issue (some games like Dead Rising 3 just wouldn't download and came up with an error), but did not fix this one, unfortunately.

    For me, I tried updating Destiny 2 today (the update came out yesterday) and it said it was just over 100MB. So I selected to install the update, and it started an "update" of over 42GB which has taken well over an hour! My friends did the same update and
    theirs took seconds as it should. The same thing happened last week, where the Destiny 2 update for the first Expansion was 6GB but mine was also over 42GB also! It's not just Destiny 2, the same thing has happened with Star Wars Battlefront 2 recently.

    It's like it's installing the game again but with the update also at the same time. Luckily, I don't have data limits so I can imagine it's even worse for you.

    I'm going to make another post about this as your post is a year old or so. It looks like the reply you got from Miss Ghidorah really didn't address the main issue that you mentioned at all, the same issue I'm having!

    I just realised I commented with my other Microsoft account! But yeah, the issue is on this account () as this is the one I use for gaming on my Xbox consoles (the other is my main email address).

    Shadowmere question...

    The answer to your question in the original post is: If you buy another horse, Shaowmere will no longer be your active mount. Seeing as she/he died anyway, thats not a real problem. If you should ever stumble across Shadowmere again you can simply hop
    on to take possession, though the game is exceedingly large and you are unlikely to run into him/her again.
