Why can't I just play the game

I get home from work to find halo 5 has arrived. I make the dinner feed the baby put the baby to to bed and during all this time halo 5 is installing FROM DISC and it is only 86%. So know what ok got few bits to do around the house so I potter about 20 minutes later I check on install it still 86% :angry:. Stop it reboot xbox and start afresh nearly hour and half later I’m back at 86% :angry:. I tought xbox one was supposed to better!!! I haven’t even got to main menu yet because it is stuck at 86%. Just an idea for Halo 6 split the install over two disc one for campaign and the other MP it speed these bloody installs up and waisting my time and money

Thats how game downloads work sunshine. You could have got the digital edition and installed early though.

After 85% it starts downloading a 9 GB day one patch off Xbox LIVE. How fast the download is from that point is dependent on how fast your internet speeds are (I think).

I feel that the xbox read and writes data below an average speed. Also, Microsoft’s servers holding the day one patch have been slammed for the last week.

Yep, mine took forever too. Left work early to play only to wait an additional 3 hours! lol

Will thats a little condescending “sunshine”. Listen I know how it works doesn’t mean it’s better and it doesn’t mean its right. Bloody hell I just want play a game I paid for ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mine took an hour to complete on launch day. Not sure what’s causing you problems.

Well. Fine. I was mad too when it reached 85 and just slowed to a halt. XD

I think it’s because you touch yourself at night.

I had the 9gb day one patch and took about 48hrs to download thanks to my potato Australian internet…

TBH was really over it because I had just decided to start playing Destiny again and had to sit through a 17gb update for it…

Still at 86%

Glad you got a laugh, hope it loads soon. I started install straight after work and it finished like 2.5 hours after, just as kids were going to bed so timed well.

Install it during a work day. Start in the morning. By the time you get home form work it will be ready to go.

Hard reset your console. It’s stuck.

In case you don’t know, the hard reset is when you hold the power button down on the console itself until it shuts off completely (for about 10 seconds). Give it 30 seconds, then turn it back on. It’ll take a little longer to turn on. This’ll clear your cache and resume the install. Hopefully it’ll fix whatever stalled the installation.

I am resolved to the fact not going to get a game tonight. Which is really annoying the mrs is working tonight so had the living room to myself. But she’s getting hair done tomorrow night so hopefully this -Yoink!- update will be done by then.

No I think the Xbox servers data cap you.

Usually if it’s stuck on a % that’s when its getting the patch, now you’re past that the rest should ( hopefully) be quicker.
