That doesn't make much sense. You were playing from the external HDD so normal version was all you could use. Atleast going by what Xbox said.Figured out the crashing problem. I was playing the standard Xbox version and not the Series X version. The Series X version doesn't update probably because of some issue with the game's Smart Delivery. Had to uninstall the entire game to get the Series X version to start downloading. 187 gigs! Luckily it allows you chose your down-able content so I disabled the campaign and zombies and managed to get the download to 100 gigs.
