    game update improvement request.


    for those of us who like to keep backup copies of games on external drives, I have a request.

    Xbox can already share game data with other xbox's on same network if they are updating/installing a game another already has. Why not expand this to drives? if you have two copies, example one on internal you play, and external for backup so you don't have to download entire thing again if you uninstall to save space, why not automatically copy from up to date copy of game, to out of date when drive is plugged in?

    Example, let's say you have a copy of a game in internal memory, and a copy on an external drive as a backup. The internal copy has been kept up to date but the backup was left on a shelf for a while and isn't up to date anymore. When you plug in drive, and start an update of the game, any needed data for that game that's on internal storage, copy to external. This will save bandwidth, improve update speed of redundant copies, and reduce load on the update server.

    As a side effect, like in my case how I have an xbox at home and another in my truck [truck driver] I can update all my games at the house, bring backup drive with me, plug it into trucks xbox and it can pull needed data from drive to update internal copies of games, saving bandwidth on my wireless plan.

    If all the tools and capabilities are already there for network transfers between xboxes, then why can't the xbox share the same update data with itself?

    Streamlining requests (and other random improvement requests)

    sounds like quite a bit of little things that dont really matter but i will agree with 2 points...

    3) i agree you should be able to look around the board and everything when someone is making a decision, also in archenemy sometimes with the sidedeck i wont look at what the card does fast enough and if i have to make a choice i might be blindly guessing
    what i should be choosing.

    6) biggest problem in the game because people just use it as an exploit to take advantage of whatever deck you are using at the time.

    X-Box One S Game Updates Too Large

    The update size of games is up to the developer. They improve the game and then send the update to Xbox to release it for the gamers to update their games.

    great lie guys

    What are your actually referring to Az with being shafted this generation? MS have been working pretty hard to deliver console updates to improve the experience for users and implemented many things that users have requested. Badger says this is coming
    as originally stated so what's the problem? The One is a different console from when it was released due to the continual updates and improvements I fail to see anyone being "shafted"

    Is there anything actually being done about updates on Xbox?

    Hi LTZ, my name is Oskayra and I would be happy to help.

    If what you are experiencing is normal. I can't tell you how long to wait for this to be resolved.

    In general, Microsoft is taking steps to improve the game update process on Xbox. These measures are intended to reduce the time and effort required to update games, and to improve the overall player experience.

    However, it is important to note that game updates can be large for a number of reasons. For example, updates can include new content, such as maps, game modes or characters. They may also include bug fixes or performance improvements. In some cases, updates may be large because the developers are changing the way the game works.

    In general, game updates are likely to continue to be large in the future. However, Microsoft is working to reduce the size of updates and improve the efficiency of the update process. This may help make updates less annoying for gamers.

    Best Regards, Oskayra
