SouthParkGuy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Anyone else having problems downloading this? I started dowloading it at 3PM and now it's 9PM and it's only at 42% So in 6 hours it only went up 42%. Anyone know a way to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthParkGuy Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Is it the digital version or do you have retail? Mine doesnt do that. It's the digital version. Actually, it's the "pre-order" digital version. Do digital games take longer to download? Because Halo: TMCC had way more gigsbytes to download and only took like 2 hours to finish.

Master Sieder Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 not bad 6 hours for 42% took me about 13-18 hours to do 100% doing about 13Mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supadryz Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm not looking forward to installing my game, but I will be disconnecting from internet while I do as seems to be quicker this way, but then updating once connected again will take a while. I will have the retail copy & I'm sure I won't get to play it in till at least tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutty Scouser Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 retail far better than all this internet downloading crap, plus sell on value - retail all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lornesbored Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I wasn't happy at this either. I started the download at 930pm, at 2am it was only 34% done. I understand that yes it was playable and people were playing it that's why it's a slow download but if Microsoft is putting so much money and effort behind cloud services and are unable to get it to me within a reasonable time it puts the whole system in disarray and I just doubt that once it comes times for an all digital console that it will do well. Anyway, I asked for a refund from Microsoft and I'm just gonna go buy a disc copy instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Default117 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Started at 6PM checked at 9PM, and it was sitting at 17% Let it go overnight, xbox turned off, stopped at 19%. This is the disc version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sm0keytrip0d Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 my disk version took about an hour and a half to install just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Default117 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Oh dear lord ^^^ Yeah, not a happy camper. I miss the old days where you go to a store excited to play the game, get home, excited, put the game in, excited, play game. (sometimes lose excitement straight away). Now it's just, excited, buy the game, get home, wait a day, then play with no more excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think digital gaming is a bad idea for Microsoft to switch from retain gaming console to digital gaming.When I in the game of GTA5 install it is very fast installing on high speed and I have retail version.

BCFCBristolRed Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Only took around an hour for me (disc). Update took a little less). I have used digital for Minecraft and the EA Access cr*p, I don't like it. Downloads are far too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iGoTiT4FrEe Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I was dumping my retail copy to the HDD (said yes to the update), 3h's later it was only at 24% so that meant it would be another 9h's at this rate so I told it to cancel. Disconnected from live and dumped the game again....Took just over 30mins to dump the game to the HDD o_0. I checked my bandwidth usuage and it said I had downloaded over 10GB while it was dumping the first time, as if it was actually downloading the game from live instead of dumping it from my disc lol.

Default117 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) I was dumping my retail copy to the HDD (said yes to the update), 3h's later it was only at 24% so that meant it would be another 9h's at this rate so I told it to cancel. Disconnected from live and dumped the game again....Took just over 30mins to dump the game to the HDD o_0. I checked my bandwidth usuage and it said I had downloaded over 10GB while it was dumping the first time, as if it was actually downloading the game from live instead of dumping it from my disc lol. Holy shit. I think you're right! Just checked my data usage, around 20gb used in the last 2 days! http://i.imgur.com/sGzQWD2.png Notice the right hand side column, that's my ”free zone" since Xbox live downloads are free. Massive spike yesterday and today... Edit. CONFIRMED. I went offline, and I kept on getting a pop up saying ”installation stopped". And saying installation cannot continue because an internet connection can not be found... So i deleted the old install, stayed offline and installed again. Its 23% now, and its taken around 20 minutes to get there, instead of the 2 days it took before. So Edited November 19, 2014 by Default117 confirmed theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
