Hi, I was wondering why my game disks install to like 20 to 40% and then just say...

Hello!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Space, If you have an external HD connected to the console, please remove it.

Install the game only on the internal HD.

Let's go to the procedures

Open the panel by pressing the Xbox button in the center of the controller.

Scroll right on the panel to the System area.

Select Settings.

Select Network.

Select Network Settings.

Select NAT Test Type.

Tell me what appears on this test, please

Alright, let's try this here then

Press and hold the power button on your Xbox for 10 seconds, wait for it to turn off. Unplug it. Now wait 1 minute before turning it on.

Configuration>Network>Advanced Settings>DNS Settings>Manual>Primary 1.1.1.1 and Secondary 1.0.0.1

Press the Xbox button to open the dashboard.

Select System > Settings > System > Console Information

Select Reset Console.

Restore and keep my games and apps.

Rest assured, you won't miss games or saves

When asking to pull settings from an old xbox, put no

You will have to log in your accounts again, that's all

After that, try install the game

I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

Why a 8GB flash drive? Now days at Walmart has San Disk 32GB for $20 and 64GB for $40.

External Storage coming soon, some say April, but i would imagine Summer is a safer bet, this will allow your games to be on external USB3 drives. Until then your looking at between 20 and 40 gig installs for games. If you go digital you can uninstall a
game and re install whenever you want. Disk based games I think need installing too but not sure if full game goes on disk. ( I am all digital so unsure how it exactly works)

Also - Darth, keep in mind that with the way the new discs are made... (I don't remember the specifics.. XGS3 or some crap like that) they now run for about 5 minutes in the tray before it goes quiet. So, people might think the game isn't actually installed,
because of this. I'm not saying you are not understanding this, per se, just for anyone else who might be wondering why their disc is still spinning and they have the game installed.

Also keep in mind that some games (Skyrim) only install "part" of the disk and they do not install all of the disk.

My buddy is a lot lower level I am and he's just starting to glitch out. I did tell him to clean his Cache. He did and it's playing smother. But he did say he feels that it being only on one disk does affect the game. He also said why would Oblivion have
more disks, when Skyrim is a bigger game. I wonder if it's just to keep the cost's down.
