Forced update mid game!!?

Was playing Overwatch and got a forced update mid competative game. This caused me to get kicked from the game, penalized, and my team to lose. Why isn't there a way to postpone, get an early warning, or wait until the game is over?!

[Mod Removed] XBL, lost me hrs of game progress with your circle logic

[Mod Removed] lost me hrs of game progress because I can't save my game unless I connect to xbox live, I can't connect ot xbox live with out it trying to force an update, like a screwed up circle that lost me hrs of play time.

I should be able to log into xbox live in game, and be able to save before any forced update. more so when im at the save menu, why would you force an update mid game... [Mod Removed]

 

Xbox One Mandatory Updates Can Be Disabled to Avoid Mid-Game Restarts

[table][tr][td]Xbox One Mandatory Updates Can Be Disabled to Avoid Mid-Game RestartsWritten Tuesday, November 19, 2013 By Lee BradleyView author's profile[/td][/tr][tr][td]The Xbox One will occasionally need to update and reboot while you’re playing a game, Microsoft has confirmed. But users can turn the feature off.A Microsoft representative has clarified that while automatic updates can throw you out of a game mid-session, this will be “timed to have the least possible impact” and can be disabled. We contacted Microsoft earlier in the week, following an instance during a session with Dead Rising 3, in which our progress was automatically saved and we were forced to update and restart.“Multiplayer games need to ensure that all players are working from the same versions of the game, and on the most current version of the system,” explained a Microsoft rep.“If an update is deployed during a game, it will require a quick update after which players can resume playing.“Users have the option of setting their system to automatically take updates so they are always up to date, or manually taking an update which may increase the disruption to their gameplay. Referring to systems in use before the console’s launch on November 22nd, the rep said, “Note that updates are taking place more frequently right now because the system is still in beta. “After launch, updates will not take place as often, and will be timed to have the least possible impact on users.”It should be noted that we’ve had an Xbox One for over a week now and we’ve been playing it for a minimum of 18 hours a day. We’ve only had to update mid-session once.[/td][/tr][/table]

Hi,

The type of update you experienced was a Mandatory update where you are forced to do the update at that time. I know this won't help from before, but going forward you can set your Xbox automatically update each night using the instructions here ( Learn About Xbox Updates on Xbox One | System Updates
) or listed below:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Select Settings > All settings.
3. Select System > Updates.
4. Under Console, select Keep my console up to date if it isn’t already.

After that is done make sure your Xbox is set to Instant-On mode so that it can search for updates while off here ( Energy-saving Mode | Instant-On Mode | Xbox One Power Modes ):

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Select Settings > All settings.
3. Select Power & startup > Power mode & startup. Select Power mode to change the setting.

Hope this works out for you.
