Possible Fix for a faster install speed.

McQueen101 · Nov 11, 2014

This worked for me and I got it from a reddit post about CoD AW. This may not work for you. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

First check your current usage. Go to Settings>Network>Bandwidth Usage and on the top left it'll say what yours Current Usage is.

IF it's low like mine was, 200 kbps then try this.

Go to DNS setting in Network and change your Primary to 8.8.8.8

Then change your secondary to 8.8.4.4

After that go to Alternate MAC address and select clear. This will prompt a restart. Do it. Then go back to surrent usage and see if it's improved. this will increase the download speed if it worked.

Mine went from anywhere between 10-400 kbps to 3.5 mbs.

Hope it helps.

Edit: Also note that if the usage drops again just repeat the clearing of the MAC address and it'll pop back up to 3.5 or whatever you get from it.

USB drive compatibility

I wouldn't install a game to a USB disk. Read speeds are not as fast as an onboard hard drive. If you insist, however, it's possible.

External hard drive choices

Anyone recomend me one off Amazon? Looking for 2TB faster load speeds and powered off the Xbox if possible, thanks in advance :smashin:

Good to see it works on the One as I haven't had a chance to try it on the One yet. I used it for my PS4 and what was a 73 minute dl dropped to 13 minutes. There are two primary/secondary DNS to try: primary - 8.8.8.8 secondary - 8.8.4.4 or the other primary
- 208.67.222.222 and the secondary - 208.67.220.220

I am not sure why this would work. Those addresses are google's:

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out about your issue.

Game installation times depend on a few factors:

The size of the download (The bigger the download = the bigger the installation time)
Your connection speed (The faster your connection is = the faster the installation time)
Xbox servers (which I ensure are fine at the moment, installation time may increase if lots of people are attempted to install the same game)

The only way you could properly increase speed of your installation times is by checking your connection speed (through a program like speed test) and possibly upgrading your WiFi. Another way to speed up your connection is to have a direct connection instead
of using a wireless connection.

Hope this helped.

PS4 games have to be installed, same as Xbox One. The installation speed is faster on PS4, but the game still installs.
