Forums - Microsoft Discussion - ok so as i stated early i bought a xbox one but i have one MAJOR problem wit it......

Sounds normal for me, but I have shit internet.

For normal people, that's definitely something with the hardware, if you normally get relatively good service.

My own experience with XB1 is somewhat similar. Game installs are slow compared to PS4, and downloads in general seem to be slower than my PC and PS4, all of which are plugged in via ethernet cable. This is just part of the XB1 experience I guess - it sounds like your system is fine, though you may want to check that your internet connection is giving you the speeds you expect. For reference, speed testing my internet connection I get around 75-90mb/s.

I shall check and see how it compares. I've never checked because on other consoles it's not a problem.

Xbox One can only download one thing at a time, so it's normal that the Witcher 3 installation was paused when you opened the outdated DVD Player app.

However, my Xbox One slightly outperforms my PS4 in digital installation if they're both only downloading a single game (not a big difference though). So I think there's something wrong with your Xbox.

But my xbox is brand new how is it outdated? And I've had my ps4 a year and a half and it's never "updated" the dvd drive, the fucking controllers. And it always says data snyching aswell when i try and play a game.I seriously have no idea what it's doing half the time lol its so strange

Just because the Box is new doesn't mean the software is up to date. Btw are you installing the games like Witcher 3 from the disc or from the xbox live marketplace?

The installing times on the X1 are FUCKING RIDICULOUS.

Call of Duty took more than 20 minutes to install on my console, from the fucking physical version of the game!!!

And no background installing, you have to wait for the game to install in order to play it.

Ridiculous...

Well first of all that's not even true. You can play CoD AW before the install counter reaches 100%. I finsihed the first SP mission before it was fully installed.

Other than that, is ~30min really a problem? Can't you do something else in the meantime? Hell you can even play some digital game while you wait for it to finish . There are enough games (be it F2P, GwG, EA Access or digitally bought games) to choose from.

first world problems.

* Black Ops 3

Second of all, im from Venezuela so you should say "Third World" problems. Maybe it is the Xbox One that is a second rate console because i havent seen this type of things on my Ps4.

In order to play Black Ops 3 from the DISK, you HAVE to install the game before, which takes easily half an hour.

Thank God for the people that demands better, if it was for people like you the Xbox One would be a DRM machine.

X1 takes a long time to download and install, but what you are experiencing is not normal. Take it back to the store and ask for an exchange as the device was defective.

Exactly. The first time that ive ever seen a FUCKING controller update was with the Xbox One. What the fuck is that!? LOL

Im going to narrate what was my first experience with the console, which i bought from the Gears of War bundle deal from Amazon a month ago.

1) Turn ON the console. It demands an update. Yup, not optional, you HAVE to update the console to use it.

2) The console was updated a couple of hours later. I want to play COD Black Ops 3. Well, bad luck for me, the game has to install on the console even tho it is a physical copy. I was thinking, well who cares about 5 minutes more. I was wrong, the game took more than 30 minutes to fucking install on the console.

3) Phew, the game is installed finally. Im going to play the game. Well, fuck me, the controller needs to update. One more hour to go...

4) At last, the motherfucking controler (?) is updated! Lests play the game...uh oh! The game NEEDS to be updated. Fuuuuuuuuuu...

5) So the game updated. After more than 5 hours im playing the fucking game. Hurrah...

6) My internet went down. Say Buh Bye to the pins on your Home Screen. 

God, i hate so much the Xbox OS. IMHO the Ps4 OS is WAY better. Faster, simpler, more videogame focused.

It took me a week to download and install Master Chief Collection along side Killer Instinct S1 & 2. I feel bad for kids on christmas morning.

 


Good lord! I did MCC and Forza Horizon 2 before i went to bed and they were ready the next morning!



Your Xbox is fine. Games take awhile to download and/or install, especially games with extremely large updates.

Also, Xbox One has had the ability to play while games install since launch, so Idk what AEGRO is going on about.

I can't remember what game it was it might of been Black flag but apparently it took over an hour to install on Xbox one but only 30-60 seconds on ps4. The xb1 is slower at install things it's a fact, dunno whether yours is broke though.

 

Except it's not.

PS4 installs just as slow as X1, it's just that the PS4 has a better file system, where certain files that are necessary for booting the game are prioritised during installs and/or the console is being able read the files from disc to boot the game.

Well this is huge lie.

I changed my HDD on my ps4 to 2tb the other week and had to install everything again. I just poped each disc for batman, the witcher 3, bloodbourne, diablo 3, destiny taken king, infamous second son and it took each no more than a minute without the updates, then I downloaded all the updates together and let it sit over night with the digital version of driveclub and the order 1886 and a few free indy games tht ive gotten. all that was over 350gb of data and it was done fairly quickly, especially the installs from the disc wich my litle nephew has destiny too and I installed it on his x1 and it took like 4 hours, from the disc as well. And yea, he could pplay other digital games while that happened, but that is still unacctpable with todays tech.
