    GTA V Download Taking Days To Install!?


    Okay I have bought GTA V, the full digital game download from the marketplace on Tuesday around 8PM on the 30th, it is barely at 50% as it is 12:50 AM of Jan the 4th, and it's taking forever to download, I hope it doesn't take another 5-10 days just to
    download the game, any help or ideas to speed it up? I disconnected all devices connected to the Internet besides Xbox, what's up with it taking so long?!

    :)

    GTA V Install taking days (Literally)

    Hi there vingmx, I had same thing while I was buying game on disc.

    Game size is about ~14.5gb (I can be wrong) While GTA starts downloading it will have pop-up message that there is no much of available space for game. (no matter is this 1st disc content that downloading from game or disc 2 content that downloading in downloading
    section of Xbox Guide). Or you have bug. Try to quit from game and delete amount of storage that game need (or use usal USB 2.0 drive to download there) to download the rest of content.Game usually downloads from Games on Demand about 2-3 hours. It demands
    on your internet speed.

    Hope that will help you.

    GTA V Install taking days (Literally)

    So, I have bought and downloaded GTA V from the Xbox live marketplace, on a 16GB USB stick, which had about 14GB of space left. When I bought the game, they said it would only consume 7.3GB, so I figured it would fit. Now that I set the game to run, it gives
    me the loading screen, and in the bottom right corner, it says "Downloading". Well, this has now been going on for three days straight, and my Xbox is starting to get very hot... Is it supposed to take so long? I did a little research, and found out that the
    game would install another 8GB, me having only 6,7GB left. But if that is so, shouldn't it tell me so before trying to install it for three days straight? Help is appreciated.

    GTA V Download Taking Days To Install!?

    Similar problem for me. I bought the game from the marketplace and downloaded it about a month ago. I am now getting around to playing it and it's trying to download install packs for hours now. I've read how others are having the same issue and the only
    response I really see is "it depends on your internet speed". Well I have Optimum cable internet with the extra boost ad-on. I've not had any issues with my internet in the past year so why is this game basically crippling my ability to use my xbox 360 for
    an entire day now?

    GTA V disc unreadable (IT'S GAMES ON DEMAND!)

    the problem isnt the game, it's when i download the gta v packs with it. (the packs are basically the mandatory disc install with regular gta v)

    Freeze on save in Skyrim and can't even get past the loading screen in GTA V

    If GTA V is indeed downloaded from the marketplace and not a disc, try this.

    Delete GTA V and clear your cache 3 times.

    Restart your console.

    Download 16 GB of demos (this is how big GTA V will be in the end)

    Once those have finished download all the GTA V files from your download history (GTA V, Installation Packs 1-4)

    After you've done that, feel free to delete the demos.

    This worked for me, hopefully it works for you too!
