    Beware of Game Installs!!!!

    Same here, hating this PS3esque install nonsense since 9AM this morning I have managed 30 mins on AC4, and that is it. Not impressed so far. Sob.

    Beware of Game Installs!!!!

    Hiya, got my XB1 this morning and have just put COD Ghosts in to play....however I understand the games HAVE to be installed before playing.....not great but could be worse I suppose.

    BUT!!.....after clicking on Install, it took half an hour to get to 1% by this time I was bored and thought this can't be right so I had a quick google

    Turns out that if you are signed in or connected to the internet then the "install" does not use the disc......it downloads from XBL!!!

    I disconnected from the internet and started again and after 5 mins it's now on 14%

    This is NOT good if I need to do this every time I want to play a game as my BB is very slow!!

    Have you tried deleting all fortnite content from the console to reinstall it from scratch? I've had issues like that with other games before. Deleting the stuff that was downloaded already helped as it would download the things from the start again.

    Also, could you perhaps stop shouting? My ears hurt from all that caps Game installation :)

    Hi it sounds like you may have a corrupted download or it could be internet related, How many devices are using the same internet ? People confuse fast with strong all the time. Alternatively you could try factory resetting the Xbox entirely and maybe
    even the router too, Or you may just want to clear the MAC address to see if that helps Mose things along

    Installing a game and it stops installing

    Hello Megan,

    Thank you for keeping us updated. Is this game a digital download, or a disc game? If it is a disc game, the disc could be faulty if used. Let us know this detail and we will do our best to help you out.

    I would also test out your console to see if it is capable of completing downloads. Cancel the download for the cars game. You can then try downloading a demo, or a free game like fortnite.

    Installing a game and it stops installing

    Curious, how long have you let it sit at 40%? I've had games do this occassionally, and I'll see it sitting still when downloading and not progressing. I've honestly just left it and did something else, and came back later (maybe a half hour) and then
    it would be moving a little again. I'm not sure if maybe the specific file it's downloading at that time might be larger or how it works, but I've done that before. I would let it sit for a little bit and see if it moves, but if it's not moving after 30-60
    minutes then yes try more troubleshooting. Good luck!

    Not installing the Game

    Hello BluesyOregon4,

    Although you have stated that you have already redeemed the code, I would just like to make sure you are doing it on the right account first, then, if you are, please go to https://redeem.microsoft.com/ and type
    in the code, from there it will tell you if the code is valid or not and you can proceed on to redeeming it. I am really sorry that this is being more complicated then it should be for you! I hope you have a great rest of your week!

    Dearest Regards,
