    Should I just install this game without updating it in order to start playing it offline?


    Hi,

    I am very tired and troubled by this game. I spent a fortune on buying "Watch Dogs," Primagames published guide--limited edition and artbook. I don't live in the States, so besides the game disc, which I purchased in where I am, I purchased the the other
    two at Amazon. I was really really excited to play this game until something just happens in which I am not able to even play this game as desired. I will elaborate what just happens so maybe someone can get me through.

    Right after inseting this disc, I was asked to install this game in the first place, so I chose to--the lady in the gameshop where I bought this game today told me that the very first time I play this game I must have it downloaded to my Xbox One, then I
    don't have to do anything like connecting to the internet to play--I could enjoy the main missions/storyline of this game after I have installed it. So of course I installed it--got that quequed coming so I had to re-start my Xbox One a few times to get it
    through.

    Now the installation is finally completed, so when I launched the game, it asked me whether if I want to connect to UBIsoft server something like that. And so, I chose yes, but it then told me that I was not connected to internet something like that, and
    something like I was not connect to Xbox Live--but I am sure I did. So I really don't understand where the problem is. But, I was able to see the game running, showing some cool graphics of Watch Dogs opening like that. I was also given many options like "Start
    New Game" or anything like that. So even I failed to get myself connected to the internet, I wasn't disappointed at all since I knew that I was just going to play it offline, enjoying the storyline by myself.

    Now, the real problem just begins. Somehow the screen ask me like "Watch Dogs needs update," and it's up to my whether to update or not. I chose to because I really didn't want to miss anything of this great game. That's when the problem came up. Right after
    I chose to, it keeps showing updating without any progress, and sometimes switched to queued. Not only can't I update this game, I can't play this game offline as I want!

    Actually, this kind of problem happened to me when dealing with Titanfall. But Titanfall is a little bit different that it also needs upgrade after installation complete since it is meant to be a online-game. But Watch Dogs is not. I have tried "Power Cycle,"
    and it is stuck right there. Before, when I was trying to deal with this kind of issue with Titanfall, someone has suggested me to do it when the system is in stand-by mode. But I don't know how to do it, because when I turn off the console, the programs
    stopp running.

    I temporarily live in the country where the internet speed is disastrous. There is nothing I can do about it now

    If anyone can give me a hand, that'd be great!

    Thanks!

    :)

    Deadrising taking forever to update the 13 gb patch?

    It is a huge update. I am guessing that you have just recently purchased the game? If this is happening when you are trying to install the game for the first time, things might move faster if you install the game while not connected to LIVE, IE offline.
    This way the game can install without the system doing the update at the same time. Once you have installed the game offline, sign in to your account and the update will download and should download faster.

    X-Box One S Game Updates Too Large

    Game update sizes are really big these days, but I agree that there should be an option to not to install update and remain offline. In order to go online, update should be a must. I believe this is how it works on the other console.

    Xbox One recent update and Video Game updates

    Hey mate,

    I had the same thing happen to me with Fallout 4 installation.

    What I do with new games when i'm trying to isntall them and they are playing up, is go offline (through your network settings), then install the game, then jump back online and install the updates. This should usually work.

    I also then had the same issue with the update stopping, then going backwards. All I did there was leave it, eventually, after a lot of stopping and starting, it eventually installed. It just took a bit longer then normal was all, but still eventually finished.

    With the new game, try the offline install then online update, and for the other the only thing I can suggest would be to leave it, even though it says the update has stopped, just wait and it should start back up :)

    Cheers

    Xbox One- Game online requirment

    You should have no problem playing the game offline. The game is a single player game, so any patches will just be bug fixes anyway and in no way essential to the installation of the game or your ability to play it. It will just prompt for an update the
    first time you connect to xbox live and start it up.

    I have WWE 2K19 and when updating the game, what does removing game update mean?

    That means if you play the game without the update you can not use that save. Example being if you delete the game and install from disk offline with no updates. Your save will not be usable.

    Just agree and go ahead with the update.
