    What is with updates mid gameplay recently?


    Last few days I have been getting the update popup with no warning mid game giving me no chance to save or safely exit from what I'm playing.

    Never had it this way before and there needs to be an option to delay install and stay online even if only briefly.

    Is this a recent change?

    System update error

    How recently did you download the file from the website? I believe it was updated mid-day yesterday with the new version.

    Update

    No that wouldn't be normal. What do you see on your screen? Is it stuck at the start up or is it stuck mid update?

    Xbox One X will not boot.

    Does anyone know if this could be a rogue update? My Xbox One (original) started randomly rebooting whilst mid game. I thought it was a bug in Ghost Recon Breakpoint but I have heard it is happening in other games recently.

    Its what happens when you join a beta, your there to test it works though it is annoying receiving an update mid game

    What he said. It's easiest to do mid game by viewing the recent players and reporting them then and there. I've had a Xbox admin once or twice shadow the current game to actually catch them during the cheat.
