    Xbox One X downloads entire game instead of just updating


    Hi guys,

    I just wanted to download the new update (around 5GB) for Red Dead Redemption 2 and it started off fine. I came back 4 hours later (thinking that the update would obviously be done) to see that it has currently downloaded around 23% of over 92GB. How did
    5GB turn into 92GB?

    Its a digital download and I do not have an external drive or anything.

    Can anyone help me with this?

    :)

    Xbox One X - 4K update mandatory?

    Hi,

    I have a question regarding the Xbox One X. They talked about a 4K update for Xbox One X titles that will make the games 4K, but will it be mandatory or I can choose to only play normally? Or at least they can make a 1080p 60FPS update instead?

    I don't have 4K TV and the fact that 4K updates will be like 50-100 GB, it's not worth it getting the Xbox One X... It will takes days to download this.

    Any new information about that?

    Thank you

    Xbox One February 11 update will be optional

    You would have to download it as two separate updates

    Hi there,

    I guess this is a bug and it happened for some gamers with the same game, unfortunately you've to install it again. Sorry

    Thank you!

    Hi Lucky!

    Thanks for reaching out to us with this issue. Its possible that the change may be due to an incorrect installation the first time the game was downloaded and installed. Also, if you previously cancelled the update for the game and then restarted it, it
    would cause it to reinstall the entirety of the game as well. At this point, its best to just wait for it to complete rather than to stop and restart the update. Super sorry for any inconvenience that this may be causing you as well.

    You can always check into the
    Rockstar RDR2 Forums     to see if anyone else has a solution or has had the same experience. Alternately, you can reach out to Rockstar about the issue directly as well.

    I hope that this helps you out.

    Any chance you are using an external drive? I had some issues where the problem was the external drive and it kept forcing me to re-download the entire game anytime it patched.

    Hello SpineFX,

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Is the console enrolled in the

    Xbox Insider program    ? Is the power mode of the console set to
    instant-on or energy-saving    ? If the console is on instant-on, we recommend changing the console to energy-saving. Be sure to let us know the results!
