Xbox one not auto downloading game updates Hi, My Xbox one is in instant on mode and I can turn it on by voice, it has the option checked to auto download updates bit it does not. Today I was presented with a 2Gb Destiny update which Xbox did not auto download Any ideas?
- If your Xbox One doesn’t immediately begin downloading the game, it’s probably either set to not download updates automatically, or is in Energy-saving mode instead of Instant-on mode. It’s also possible that the Xbox One is disconnected from the Internet.
- Xbox® game support enables your Xbox 360™ video game console to play an array of games from your original Xbox video game console. A list of games that are currently backward compatible is available here and we will continue to add support for additional games over time.
OK, so i've had my Xbox One since launch, had to get a replacement as i had a faulty disc drive but that's by the by.
My power options are set to Instant-on, with ticks in Wake up Xbox by saying Xbox on, and in Automatically download updates, but not in resume games quickly.
Over the last couple of months there have been various game updates rolling out, but not one of them has downloaded automatically. Whenever i go to launch a game, it says there is an update required. For example, today it's downloading a 2.1gig update for Powerstar Golf. Couple days ago there was a huge update for Garden Warfare that it started to download only after i tried to launch the game.
I thought the whole point of this 'Automatic Update' function was to make it so i don't have to wait for 1+ hours for an update to download before i can play.
To add insult to injury, you can't update a disc based game without the disc being in the drive, so even if auto updates were working, it wouldn't update my two disc based games (Forza and Dead Rising, which recently had a huge update). without the disc being in. Also, if i try to launch one of these two disc games and a patch is required, i then can't launch any other game at all without doing a full on disable of Instant-on, and full shutdown. Otherwise, any game i try to launch shows the loading screen and then just drops back to dashboard again until i do the aforementioned shutdown.
Even the Blu-ray player, which is utter garbage by the way and drops to the dashboard randomly while playing discs, needs to be updated manually every couple of weeks.
Xbox One Auto Download Game Updates For Pc
There is nothing wrong with my internet connection, both my PS3 and my PS4 have no trouble connecting to PSN in the middle of the night to sync PS Plus or download updates and purchases automatically, it's just the Xbox that isn't living up to it's advertised functionality.
