Instant On Update?!?

LukeTCThatsMe37 · Dec 17, 2014

I asked thus last time but I don't think I asked it clearly. Say if you turned on your xbox one in instant on played a game and while still on the game turn off the xbox while in instant on and then turn it back on the game is still running because it's
in the RAM. For example for me I played a bit of halo and turned the console off without quitting the game then turned it back on and halo was still running when I booted it up so what im asking is if halo is still running in the background with the console
off can it still Download the updates? Or do you have to quit the game then turn off the console and also does the updates just download or download and install or does it download then when you boot up the game it installs

Instant on

Hi. I have the gears of war xbox one s which I've added the kinect adaptor to. My problem is the instant on option doesn't work. I've reset the console, checked the settings are correct but when I say hey cortana xbox on, nothing. I turn it on by the button
and it takes 45 seconds to power up, as if it were on energy saving mode. It worked before that last update. Any ideas on on a fix or anyone else have this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hey Gaz of War! When the console is off and you say "Hey Cortana" does the Kinect light up at all? Post back and let me know!

Hi VeiledEwe

In general, the console will recognize that there is an update (subject to non-peak times and required patch vs. game updates/patches) but not download and install.

Each game is different depending upon how it loads up, saves, resumes play, if you're playing online vs. locally.

BUT I believe your actual question is this, will the update download and apply?

-Each game is different, so lets use Diablo 3 as an example.

-There was a patch weeks ago, so when I turned the system back on from "instant -on" the game itself asked me if I wanted to download the update, and this caused the game to save. Prompt that there is an update---> Ask if you want to start the update--->Stop
playing-->download update in queue-->install complete-->relaunch game.

To answer the number of updates that occur at once, we only attempt to update 1 content at a time, but we will check all content in the process and give each their turn. If we queued up all your content at the same time, you will most likely still be restrained
by your network speed and timing wise will end up close to the same amount of time.

Well I have titanfall downloaded and CoD on disk, both had updates, both were updated just weren't installed. CoD wasn't in the system and I had to put it in to install. I doubt they both downloaded and were about to install when I turned it on, if that
was the case, can't it install and simultaneously install the other?

Sounds like it was just a timing thing. The Instant-on feature is designed to download and install updates while the system if off. That particular update may not have been available or done downloading until after you logged on.

No, the system can only install one update/program at a time. Everything else goes into the "Queue" and waits for the predecessor to finish.

Instant On Update?!?
