Update in the middle of playing a game

C J McPOT · Mar 9, 2021

I want to know why my xbox one would update why I'm in the middle of playing Cod: cold war zombies outbreak? Like I was well into an hour and a half+ playing the new Zombies outbreak mode when all of a sudden my screen goes black and it says update your console now! Honestly it was extremely frustrating and if possible I would love to not have that happen again especially since this isn't the 1st time this has happened to me only difference is this time I had just invested quite a bit of time playing had 2 guns pack a punched 3x thats 50grand each plus had 6 perks and a self revive!! Like I'm so F'n heated right now it's not even funny!

I'm very sorry you had to deal with this I bet many other people are frustrated with this too and they had the same problem. But make sure you restart your console often in case of any updates.

You are missing the point,maybe he does and at the time the update went live he was using his machine,stop making people look stupid.

You may reduce the interruptions by leaving your console on instant on so it can download the updates in the background while you are offline.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I have never had a game randomly update in the middle of playing it.

Yes, sometimes games require an update before you can play it, but this is easily solved by selecting 'instant on' in the power settings. Then games and console update just happen overnight.

I have never had to wait before playing a game... ever!

Interesting information and sorry to hear that. I haven't had my box shut down on my an do an update in the middle of game. I do have it setup to auto update though. I did find a morning that it seemed to be stuck on boot up, only to find it was in the
middle of doing an update an restarting, but never in the middle of the game. I tend to pick up everything in my game, but it use to be you could go back to an area and find stuff sitting around. I remember playing some levels in Division 1 over an over and
coming back to see all kinds of color drops around the city, old stuff I'd left.
