  5. Xbox One Update Download Speed Slow

This sneaky Xbox One update makes downloads 80% faster. If you tried to download a game on Xbox One today and it felt. While we all love flashy UI improvements slow download speeds have. They are slow but not that slow, I managed that patch in 2-3 minutes. How are you connected? And that patch from bungie was a fiasco yesterday, took me half an hour to get the download working. It's Xbox One. Every download is extremely slow. Compared to steam sure, but compared to the other 2 current consoles, no. Why is the Xbox One so slow to install from disc? But by default Xbox One will download all patches while installing. So unless there's a 70gb patch the.

    Installing a game off disc is slow on XB1 but, depending on the size of the game, mine takes between 20-40 minutes max. There's now way it should be taking a day!
    Downloading is another matter, this entirely depends on your broadband speed. I've got the minimum Virgin fibre 50mb/s, soon to be boosted to 70mb/s though, but even with that downloads on XB1 are pretty speedy at about 5 mins per GB.

    I think the installation time slows right down if you turn the console off and let it carry on installing whilst in standby.

    I'm not a fan-boy, I've got both the Xbox One and the PS4 and I've got to say that PS4 is deathly slow downloading ANYTHING, and I don't have the same problem with the Xbox.

    If I'm installing a disc I will install the game first then do the update, because it usually does both at the same time and that's why it takes a while.
  • #31
    Can you not start playing the game before the install is completed like you can on PS4?
    With disc based games there's usually an initial 10-20 second install but from there you can usually jump in & play the game without having to wait as the data is installed in the background.
    With digital stuff you usually require a few GB to download before you can jump in & start playing but some features, modes etc... may be locked as more data needs to be downloaded.

    You can indeed.

    Absolutely hate it. I've been console gaming since before the NES, and I can't tell you how frustrating all of this DLC and updating nonsense is. Consoles should be plug and play. PCs are all about constant updating of hardware and software. The charm with consoles was always that things just worked without a fuss. It looks like those days are gone, but I can see a massive hole in the market for a console developer to make a console that just.... works.
    I can't even play my Xbox at the moment because it's asking me for my email address and password. WTF? I pay £400 and can't even use the bloody thing! Idiotic M$.

    This is the reason I almost chucked Destiny out of the window. Every time I picked up the controller for 'a quick game' I found there was a large update waiting to install and I had to sit there twiddling my thumbs NOT playing. Between Destiny updates and general console updates there was no time for a blimmin' game!
    I remember MS promising us that the advent of online consoles would not mean constant patches etc, but it seems they might have been fibbing....
  • #34
    You can't blame MS for Destiny's updates. You'd get the same on PS4.
    Do you not use the auto-update feature of the console?
    Also, Destiny only has *one* main update per month, with the occasional 'hotfix', while Xbox One itself only has *one* main update per month.
  • #35
    That's 1 too many for a console in my view.
    1 for the console and 1 for each game you own still makes it extremely frustrating for a casual gamer that might pick up a controller a few times a month.
  • #36
    since i have fibre things have changed dramatically, the XB1 installs and updates super quick and my speed is around 40mbps
  • #37
    All these problems just don't happen to me, I get lots of console updates but I suppose that's down to being in the preview program. Occasionally a game will need an update but it doesn't take long, all in all a fairly smooth ride.
    A decent net connection is very important this generation, but you can always disconnect your console from the net and play games from disc and never receive updates etc. Single player only lol.
    I personally lay the blame at the game makers feet, day one updates the size of the game itself ! No. Broken or buggy games that need many smaller updates over the coming months. I wouldn't mind waiting all day for a game to install if that was it, but more often than not the game needs fixing.
    PS I buy all my games digitally so they do take a 4-6 hours to install, but I seem to avoid the day one updates
  • #38

    Yes. It's actually impossible to buy an Xbox One and use it with no access to the internet. It won't work out of the box. Seems rather silly to me.

    So you'd prefer no updates?!
    No bug fixes, no new or improved features...
    Would you rather Destiny (and other games) and Xbox One itself were still as they were at launch?

    Improved features yes but it seems now developers just release games when they fancy and worry about the bugs after. Heaven forbid we go back to the days when games just worked when you got them.

    The reason it takes so long is because the disk is nothing more than a licence key to download the game now, very little, if any of the actual game is actually on the disk. When you put that disk in the drive, all you're doing is telling Microsoft you have bought the licence to play it, and it'll begin downloading it from the internet for you. So you're not just installing it, you're actually downloading the whole game too.
    I used to like having a physical copy of the game on the 360, but now I know the disk is nothing more than a licence key, I buy digitally. I don't have to swap disks that way and can preload the games before release, so they're ready as soon as the game is released. I don't notice much of an issue anyway though to be honest because I've got fibre optic.
    It's clear they're pushing hard for people to get games digitally. I was never a fan, but I must admit, they've pushed me in that direction too. It's also getting increasingly like most people will need fibre optic if they want a speedy connection, what with super HD videos and large game downloads.

    I'd prefer a product that was complete at launch, rather than paying for an incomplete product that needs to be patched costing me further time and money.
    Why sell a console that doesn't work? Why sell a game on full release that is incomplete and needs patching?
    So, yes. I would prefer no updates. I want a complete game that I can play, like I have been doing for the past 30+ years. If I want new content, that should be my choice as a consumer.

    I'm not so sure of that. I thought that most of the time you're installing the main game from disc whilst updates are downloading from the internet - or why would it even bother notifying and asking if you want to download the latest update when you first put the disc in? If it was all a download then the latest, updated, version would just download...
    Also, if the whole game is downloaded as opposed to being on the disc, how come going offline speeds up disc-based installations?

    Also:
    Why does it take so long to install a game?
    Game installs depend on how fast a drive can transfer files. The maximum data transfer rate for the Xbox One's disc drive is currently 54 Mbps.

    I've not bought a disk copy of anything since I've had an Xbox One, but my brother has, and it was saying it is downloading like 20gb+. That would be the whole game, it's too big a file size and far too long a process to just be a few updates.
    Also, game installation doesn't take that long. Think of installation on PC for example. Have you ever known a PC installation take several hours? I haven't. At 54mbps, even big games wouldn't take too long.

    So, essentially, you're saying that everything on the internet about Xbox One installations from disc is wrong, even the stuff on the Microsoft website?
    Also, updates and DLC, depending on the game, can be pretty huge.
    The Xbox One, if disconnected from the internet, installs disc media a lot quicker - along the lines of a 56mbps drive. If connected to the internet at the same time, and downloading updates, it takes a lot longer. This is widely acknowledged even by the top bods at MS.
    Again, if the games weren't on the disc, how do they even install when the console is offline?

    Why, does it say most of the game is on the disk on those sources? If it does, fair enough, though it seems suspect. I've never known an update be so large, it'd warrant several hours of download time.
    Like I said, I've not bought a disk, but I'm sure my brother said it was downloading like over 20gb last time he had one- a 20gb update, really?! And it universally took ages, no matter what game it was.
    When I buy digital versions of games and preload, at midnight when the game is released, I can play very quickly. Any updates usually download in just a couple of minutes, even large updates.

    You seem to be missing this point: You can install a game fully from a disc without the console even being online. This is fact and is a method of speeding up disc-based installation.
    Can I install a game while I'm offline?
    Yes, you can install a disc-based game while you're offline. See Using Xbox One offline.
    from http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/games/install-games again.
    The Xbox One requires you to install a game before you can start playing it. Even if the game is a optical disk based one, you will have to install it on the Hard drive of the console before launching it, however, the Xbox One has had a very weird problem of slow installation from the first day of its launch.
    Gamers have been complaining about it and even Microsoft’s Exec Phil Spencer acknowledged that this was definitely an issue which they are working on to resolve as quickly as possible. No time frame for a fix has been provided by the company and so far gamers are on their own to fix this minor issue on their consoles.

    from an article earlier this year on http://www.ubergizmo.com/how-to/install-xbox-one-games-faster-xb1/

    Disc based games are produced weeks before launch so launch day updates are becoming more and more of an issue and generally getting bigger and bigger. Your preloaded digital version of the game will have been the most up to date version when downloaded and kept up to date as you go along.
    So, yes - depending on the game and what was actually being downloaded, a 20GB update isn't all that uncommon. This is one point that a lot of folk are miffed about.

    I didn't miss the point, I just assumed it turned all other online services off but kept the part where it downloads the game connected, thus turning your console to offline would speed up the download because the only part that would then be connected, would be the part that is downloading the game- otherwise, why would it even affect it? You also mentioned that you thought a large part of that time was downloading updates, and they clearly come from online, so it wouldn't even be able to download them if the console was fully offline. If you can still install a game with your internet turned off at the source- i.e, the router, than fair enough, though I can't remember if the xbox even lets you sign in with your internet off? Genuinely can't remember, haven't had internet off for a while now.

    You kind of did miss the point.
    Offline, not signed into XBL, unplug your cat5 cable and/or switch off your router, even - you're purely installing the game from disc. Downloading the updates would then need to be done completely separately once you've gone back online. At the end of the day - the game is being installed from disc. The disc is not just an unlocking device for the game to then be downloaded.
    What slows the process down is when you're installing from disc AT THE SAME TIME as being online, signed into XBL, and downloading updates.

    Ok, but you said earlier, large updates were a big part of the problem and this wouldn't remedy that at all. You'd have to sign in online and download the huge update as you say.
    Maybe I'm just overly cynical, but it seems very suspect that disk buyers get these humongous 'updates' that are 20gb+ and take ages to download and that what's on the disk itself can be installed fairly quickly.
    That suggests to me that most of the game is still being downloaded from the internet and they call it an 'update', yet it's actually most of the game, hence why it takes forever.

    No.
    The whole game is on the disc. You can install the whole thing and play it even completely disconnected from the internet. I have installed and played games on mine when i moved house and had no internet at all. While its connected it installs updates while it installs the game. I have yet to see in my vast disc collection any game downloading a 20gb update.
Xbox one patch download very slow free

Xbox One is incredibly popular gaming console but often runs into problems that Microsoft find difficult to fix. For instance, the device is designed to be always connected to the Internet. So, every time you insert a new game disc in the console, the system automatically starts downloading and installing the game updates along with the game on the hard drive. This results in the slow game or app downloads on Xbox One. How? Suppose a game has over 1 GB worth of updates, the installation of the core files will take much time and not complete until that 1 GB is downloaded and installed.

Xbox one very slow download speed I believe ever since the latest update I'm encountering the same thing. I have an original xbox one (not S) and when I run network stats I show 60MB down 7MB up 58ms latency 0% packet loss. For Xbox One on the Xbox One, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Did the Xbox One update download really slow for any of you?'

Slow game or app downloads on Xbox One

First, find if your Xbox One is downloading a game at a very slow speed. If yes, you may be experiencing one of the following symptoms,

  1. Your installation is taking unusually long time to complete.
  2. The progress bar for your download or update hasn’t advanced for a while.

How to fix this? Try these solutions.

Solution 1: Open Xbox Live and scroll right on the Home screen to select Installing…. Thereafter, under the “Queue” section of ‘My games & apps’, note the download speed shown on the game or app that is being installed. This indicates the current download speed. If you notice slow speeds, it may take some time to download the game. Ideal speed when you are connecting to Xbox Live should be around least 1.5 Mb/s for the best experience.

Solution 2: Close any running game.

Often, background downloads are constrained while a game is running. So, to avoid such instances, close the running games by,

Navigating to the Home screen and then move to the most recently run game from the list of games and apps.

Select the game and press the Menu button. Then, from the list of options displayed, select Quit.

After you’ve closed the most recently run game, check the speed at which your game or app is downloading. It should improve the download speed!

Solution 3:Restart your console.

For this, scroll left on the Home screen to open the Guide under it, select Settings.

Choose Restart console and hit the ‘Yes’ button when prompted. The action when confirmed, will automatically pause any existing downloads and will resume again once the console is restarted.

If for some unknown reasons, you’re unable to access the Guide, press and hold the Xbox button on the console for about 10 seconds, until the console turns off. After the console shuts down, touch the Xbox button on the console again to restart.

After you restart your device, verify that all you are downloads stopped temporarily have resumed by doing the following:

Go back to the Home screen, scroll to the right, and then press the ‘A’ button to open ‘My games & apps’.

Select Queue and highlight the game or app you’re trying to download.

The game or app should show as ‘Installing’. If you notice the status being displayed as Queued or Paused, select the game or app, press the Menu button, and then select Resume installation. When your download resumes:

Xbox

Check the speed at which your game or app is downloading. At this point, avoid launching any games that might slow down the speed of your download.

Solution 4:Cancel the game or app installation and then reinstall

If the solutions mentioned above fail to yield the desired results, cancel the game installation. Here’s how:

Go to the Home screen, scroll to the right, and then press the ‘A’ button to open My games & apps.

Xbox One Slow Download Speed

Xbox one slow download speed

Select Queue and highlight the game or app you’re trying to download.

Press the Menu button on your controller, and then select Cancel. If required, you can reinstall the game by inserting the disc or downloading again from the Store. Once you’ve restarted your download, check the download speed of your game or app again.

Solution 5: Check your console’s network connection

Crack Download

If all the solutions did not solve your problem, check your console’s download speed against your subscription plan. To do so, pause any running or queued downloads:

Next, navigate to the Home screen, scroll to the right, and then press the A button to open ‘My games & apps’.

Now, select Queue and highlight any games or apps that you are currently downloading or have queued to download.

Press the Menu button on your controller, and then select Pause installation for each game or app that’s downloading or queued. Close any games that are running on your system.

Next, go to the Home screen and navigate to your most recently run game from the list of games and apps.

Patch Download Pes 2016

With the game selected, press the Menu button and select Quit.

World Of Warcraft Patch Download

Now, run a Network speed test:

Scroll left on the Home screen to open the Guide.

Select Settings > All settings and scroll down to Network.

Then, chose ‘Network settings’.

Select ‘Detailed network statistics’.

When you confirm the action, your console will run a connection test and display the detected download speed, which you can compare against your Internet service provider’s subscription plan.
