Forza Horizon 4 doesn't update and tries to download the entire game again.

U20C · Jan 17, 2020

Hi, I installed Forza Horizon 4 recently, the game was installed correctly, I did play it for some hours, but in the next day an update was launched, and then, instead of downloading only the update, Windows Store wants to download the whole 74 Gigabytes
again (I have a slow internet connection and downloading the whole game will take more than a week, due to this I want to avoid having to download it again).

There is any fix for that? Thanks.

welcome here,

It seems that stopping the update or canceling it means having to download the game again.

I have searched the web to see if there is a solution to avoid this problem, but it seems not.

From what I have read, you are not alone in having this problem. On reddit there is a thread for this problem, but even there nobody has found a solution except to download the whole game.

If I find a solution I will update this post or maybe some other Ambassador has a different solution for you.

Yes, I tried, when I cancel it and restart the update it continues trying to download the entire game, and if I cancel it and try to run the game it gives me a message that the game needs to be updated, closes the game and send me to the Windows Store
where it again starts downloading the whole game.

Do you have an external HD hooked up?

Have you tried to cancel the "update"? or it will uninstall your game?

Yes, actually two HDDs connected via Sata cables.
