    HDD Install??


    So I just picked this up (Retail Disk) and there isn't an option to install it to my HDD where I like to keep all my games. Is this normal, and do I have to play this from the disk?

    Also, what texture packs are good? Is the natural texture pack a must? I'm a fan of Skyrim so would that be a good pack to start with?

    :)

    Yeah, it sounds like HDD issues or maybe overheating... since you're getting someone to check the HDD, wait for them to tell you if it's messed up or not. If it isn't the HDD, look into possible overheating issues...

    DVR for 2016

    NEW NEWS. It has been confirmed as well as having to use an external HDD it also has to be a separate HDD to the game saves /installs one. Thus necessitatingb the need for a second separate ext HDD. That blows! So I would have to price in a new HDD as well as a TV tuner.

    HDD Install??

    You just now noticed that option?! It's there with every retail game on disc. The purpose is to decrease the moving pieces for your DVD drive and in some instances, help with loading times. And yes, of course you would need to have disc in the drive,
    or people would just be installing games and returning them to Redbox/Gamefly.

    .

    As for the texture packs, I can't help you as I haven't downloaded any of them. Sorry.

    are you digital or physical this gen?

    Weiand13, if I can ask how does a difference in the method of delivery negate one being "just in case"? For example, HDD crashes with Disc/ Install. Install on a new HDD. HDD crashes with Digital/ Install. DL on new HDD.



    There is no difference in that regards.

    Delete the installed disks from the HDD, then install the HD Pack, then reinstall the game to the HDD

    Installing To HDD

    I should have made it clear in my post that i understood the whole deal with less moving parts and running more quietly. I want to know if the actual game runs smoother? I also have a 250gGB but i just never saw the need to install any games. Either way
    its already installed so i will find out for myself if it makes a difference. Thanks for the input though.

    Less moving parts = longer lasting parts.
