Riphade 1 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 yeah this is bullshit. I was looking at my video clips and then out of nowhere I accidentally hit play game and now its installing the update and I'm stuck at 52%. So much for wanting to play.

Duke Of Twiggy Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 What I'm about to say doesn't apply to me, but pretty crap you have to install all these updates for expansion packs if you're not planning on purchasing any of them. A lot of extra space these things are taking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of extra space these things are taking up The alternative is fracturing the player-base which would be pretty much crap for anyone wanting to play coop. Those curious about the DLC may also be able to see what it is first hand by joining the game of someone who owns it, assuming it's handled like other games that handle DLC this way. You also have to expect that these TU's also include core game updates and aren't necessarily just about the DLC. As for all the space this content is taking up, sometimes Title Update's are cumulative and previous versions can be deleted. That is something we'll have to wait and see for when that option is made available to the system for managing our gamesaves and other files down the road.

maskofskin Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 That is pretty ridiculous, especially without any sort of patch notes. Personally, it's not that big of a deal, but for people with bandwidth caps, it's pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Huntsman Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) This is horrible! I no longer think game developers give a damn about things like this. I miss the days when Microsoft made sure developers kept patches and DLC small. The alternative is fracturing the player-base which would be pretty much crap for anyone wanting to play coop.Was there anything wrong with asking people to download compatability pack DLCs if they want to play co-op with the people who have the DLC? It worked fine last gen. Besides, we don't know yet if this even is pre-installing the DLC. Edited January 20, 2014 by The Huntsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuruAskew Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Blueprint count went up to 101/105 for me. Each DLC episode must make a combo weapon available in the main story mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinelesS Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 whelp looks like I'm no longer playing Dead Rising (at least until I upgrade my internet package.) And I thought the 5gb update was insane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayonTarget Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Jesus Christ! I don't even think the Death Star Plan were 13 gigs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JedEgan Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 This is getting out of hand. I'm on the "best" package from my provider at 8Mb with a 70GB cap, they don't do any better than that. As it is I'm at 51GB this month with 11 days to go. If I cancel/pause the update will it stay that way or will it decide to auto-resume after a few hours? If I uninstall the game (I don't plan on getting the DLC until all four have been released) will I then have to download an 18GB patch, the original 5GB one plus this new 13GB? Developers really need to start realising the level of broadband that's available in some countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavindathar Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 That is pretty ridiculous, especially without any sort of patch notes. Personally, it's not that big of a deal, but for people with bandwidth caps, it's pretty bad. I agree, its just ridiculous. Luckily I have unlimited broadband, so it doesn't bother me, however im losing HDD space faster than I want to be. Why have they changed it so DLC is now mandatory?

iBuzz7S Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Really? 13GB update? Checked Capcom-unity and there is nothing about an update. Forum looks dead. Yeah, 13GB? Did Microsoft just decide to allow updates of any size on Xbox LIVE? I don't remember there being anything this huge on the Xbox 360. What gives?

OctagonQontrol Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Not saying "don't download it" but if this is the future of updates/patches down our throat, I am very very much inclined to sell my One and maybe give up gaming totally. Am I a troll? Maybe but I am also highly proficient on the Microsoft-platform (making my living in IT administration) and patches > 2GB can seriously disrupt certain workflows in organizations. While 13GB is peanuts for my home-connection, I do find it very disturbing that Microsoft has still not implemented multi-thread downloading and they're still relying on single-thread http-traffic. Example: the mandatory FM5-update (about 6GB) took just under 50 minutes to download but when I transfer 6GB using multi-threaded FTP from somewhere else, it will take less than 7 minutes.

Troll or not, you make some valid points. What happens when someone buys this for the first time in 4 months and has to download updates filling 1/5 of their HDD? It's gonna look bad is what. PS4/One HDD's should have been a TB minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavindathar Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Lets assume, all four of DR3's game expansions are the same size. Thats 52GB, plus the installation of 20GB. Thats 72 GB just for Dead Rising 3. As Dirt says, if someone buys in 6 months when its all released...they will get 3 games before they have to start uninstalling stuff. It's daft, and one of the worst things MS has done with this generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty130 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) If MS make external HDDs usable, I'll be fine though. I don't want to buy another One two years from now just for a bigger HDD. They caught me out on 360 with that; 20/60/120GB as they became available over the years. I'm OK with the size of the games as long as we have plenty of room to store them. As for the people with data caps and slow speeds, I feel for you. Maybe you haven't purchased the console yet, but when you do.. Updates like you've never seen before! You can play while installing, but current progression is neither loaded or can be saved until updates/installs are 100% finished as far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong Pro Tip: Play 360 games while installing One games/updates. If it's a big update like DR3 and you haven't got high speeds, sleep on it.

davesuk Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Currently there is no changelog to indicate what's actually changed, but what we do know is that this will no add to the overall size of the game, therefore if Dead Rising 3 already takes up 20GB on your HDD, then it won't add another 13GB to the total.

Legaia Dragon Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 ^ You are right, the game after the uptade for me is 24.5gb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctagonQontrol Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 ^ You are right, the game after the uptade for me is 24.5gb. Well, if that is correct, the patching-mechanism is just plain wrong. Why would I need 60% (13GB) of modified files to download if the total size on disk "only" grows from 20GB (plain install) by 20% to 24GB? Hopefully we see other developers do this better on upcoming games but can you imagine what happens if you got like 20 games installed (say 600GB) and each one wants a 10GB update within a timeframe of a week? Some people will be downloading for weeks on end and I don't think that's how Microsoft intended it to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger0293 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I was a few hours into farming the zombie kill PP challenge when my game suddenly went black and I got hit with a screen saying the game had an update. I don't know if the game crashed, tried to start and hit the update, or if I was forced out of the game, but either way I went from ~180/200k zombies dead back to ~40k/200k. I know it's mostly my fault for not saving, but boy oh boy is it frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeasel Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 its crap like this that are making the non removable hard drive a complete pile of shit, considering if or should i say when your x1 breaks down and has to be sent in for repairs you will lose all the shit on your hard drive and will have to reinstall everything and re-down load every thing since you know that M$ will send you some one elses fixed x1 and not yours back. which also means you will have to delete everything the previous person had on the hard drive before you can even install your stuff back on and of course re download all the over sized updates. if/when M$ allows you to use a extrernal hard drive it will probably be one that they has their name on and will probably onely be a 500gb hard drive that will cost you $200 when you could have bought a non branded M$ 3TB hard drive for $100. and even if we can use an external we still can not manage it our self (hopefully they let us soon in an update) so are we going to be able to transfer all the crap already on the hard drive over to the new external? another reason to stay away from digital downloads.

OctagonQontrol Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 another reason to stay away from digital downloads. You do realize your physical copy of a game was also installed to your HDD? So it's not to blame on digital downloads in this case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolDust Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 This will probably be all the DLC, apparently if you dont own the DLC you can still be invited to a DLC room and play. I guess its a problem if you have capped internet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
