installing games and updates

gediict · Nov 11, 2014

Hey, is anyone else having issues with updates for new games or time consuming installation off games. Think a 15GB update for a new game is a bit excessive when all you want to do is put the disc in and play the game, and not wait 5 hours to play approx.
I know some broadbands are quicker, is there any other way around this issue.??

Quick question

Hi there, you can most certainly select to install the update while the game itself is still installing, I believe what happens though is it will immediately start the download of the update and stop installing from the disc so sometimes to make it a faster
process, installing the game while offline and then the updates after the game is finished installing offline will be the fastest way to get gaming.

Though to answer your questions, it won't stuff anything up installing the update while the game is still installing, might just make it a little slower.

Constantly have to install games.

Are you sure it isn't installing updates on your games? I will simply say "installing" regardless of if it's installing the disc or an update.

Just a thought.

Sadly no. Been playing ever since 360 and if there's an update - it's a must. Game updates is mandatory - "game developers" to ensure that they can bring what's best of there game. What I'm thinking, that(update part) can't be loaded into the disc since
bluray disc 25 GB (single-layer) or higher maybe.

Updates for the console itself will only install on the internal storage, and updates for games will only install where the games are stored. So if the game is installed on the internal storage, then the update for that game will install on the internal storage. You cannot pick and choose where an update is installed.

Install the game without updating until the game completes the installation, then install the update. It should help.

Make sure you have enough HDD space. If the game requires an update, try installing the game without the update first and install the update after the installation is complete.

When a GFWL game gets a title update, it downloads the update then you need to exit the game before the update will install. There will likely be some prompts or acknowledgements through the install process. Did you exit the game and allow the update to
install?

Hello!

1- Try to reset the xbox and see if so when you start update the status of the game

2- Go to manage game data and check that it is installed or pending installation.

3- Uninstall the game and restart the xbox

4-Install the games and then install all the updates, be careful not to install any updates before the game.
