Is my Xbox Installing or downloading updates?

zico291 · Mar 14, 2014

I put my Titanfall disk in the drive around 10mins ago and it said Titanfall needed an update (810mb). What I can't work out is if it's downloading an update or installing the game I am at 10% now. For a 16GB game it sure does take a while to install, I
remember having similar problems at launch with Forza 5 and Battlefield 4.

So the question I am really asking is can you tell if the Xbox One is installing or downloading updates? Because all my Xbox says is "Installing" on the disk tile and "Installing" in my games and apps.

Xbox vibrating when downloading a game

When you say downloading a game, do you mean installing from a disc or downloading from Xbox Live? If installing from disc, then there is a some vibration from the the spin of the disc when the game is installing.

Turn the console off completely, disconnect the network, then turn it back on and install the game from the disc. This will speed that up. When that's done, turn it off again, reconnect your network and install the update/patch.

This should smooth everything out for you, just make sure that you fully turn off the console when you disconnect and reconnect the network cable to get the true results.

What's happening is your xbox one is trying to download the update and install the disc at the same time. If you have a slow internet connection this may be the cause. What i did to fix the issue was disconnect from xbox live, put the disc in and let it
install. Once complete connect to Live and download the update.

If You have your Xbox set to 'Instant On' then all system and game updates will download and install automatically. Meaning no more waiting to play games while updates download/install.

System updates will install but may need you to press the power on button instead of saying 'Xbox On'.

I have my external storage turned off while my Xbox is off. I've never noticed and speed differences with it being off.

i keep trying to download this update, but when it is finished, it restarts my xbox, and reboots without the update installed! anyone else with this problem!!!!!!

Its the large updates it downloads during the install. Put the xbox into offline mode or disconnect the connection to the internet and then install from disc. After the install, you can connect to the internet and it will download the updates.
