xbox one instant mode install- known problem??

Tamirco · Sep 2, 2014

I use the xbox one digital shop only and I had serval problem releted to a bunch of game using the instant mode option (power mode).

I always prefer to download the games (around 35 GB) at night when I don't use the xbox, so that I can play at the other day. I prefer to shut down the xbox to instant on mode, in that mode the installation of the queue games runs in the background.

the first problem was with forza 5- when I came to play the game went immediately to the xbox home. I reinstall the game with the xbox in use (the system was on) and it worked just fine.

the second problem was with guacamelee- long story short- after I install the game without the instant on the game works fine.

and now, for the third time, I downloaded battlefield, when I came to play the usual thing happened and the game shut down to the xbox home screen (after the logo).

is that coincidence? if not I the tech team do anything to fix this problems?

thanks,

Tamir

Installing Games Question

I am going to pick up Destiny tonight at my local GameStop and I was wondering if the Xbox One can continue installing a game from instant-on mode. I ask this because my WiFi connection isnt the strongest, making it take awhile to install games. I wanted to let Destiny install while I sleep so I can play when I wake up. If games cant install from instant-on mode then Ill just leave my console running.

Interesting - My Xbox One uploading while powered off/in standby

LOL Jwalker, straight from XBOX.com

In Instant-On power mode, your Xbox One console is up to date and ready to use. In this mode:

Your console automatically downloads updates.
Your console starts up in two seconds.
You can wake the console using a voice command. Just say “Xbox, on.”

Notes:
Your console may sound as if it’s on when downloading and installing updates.
In Instant-On power mode, the console power supply unit (PSU) remains on and the solid white LED on the PSU is bright. You may also hear the fan in the PSU.
The console uses 15 watts of power when in Instant-On mode.

In energy-saving power mode, your console is shut down to save energy. In this mode:

Updates are not downloaded and installed until your console is turned on.
Your console takes 45 seconds to start up.
You must press the Xbox button to start the console.

Notes
In energy-saving mode, the PSU is in off/standby mode and the solid orange LED on the PSU is bright.
The console uses 0.5 watts of power when in energy-saving mode.Click to expand...

It says it downloads the updates on the console itself when you go the settings. They even talked about it during the press events. The uploading is probably just various amounts of data that we probably agreed to so that can gather general info about how the XBOX One is being used.
