Might have been an early release game. All the games I have bought have never had that issue.
I downloaded a couple of smaller games that took just a bit to download. Painless. Gotta check on K.I. to see how that fared but if its downloaded by now I'll be happy. Is it possible to purchase and download games on the XBO while on the go? I'd love the ability to download a game from my smartphone and it be ready by time I get home. That'd be awesome!
I queue them up and buy them at Xbox.com and they are downloaded when I get home. Not sure if that works in the smartglass app or not though.
K.I. is complete. Thats comforting.

I got the XBO to turn on my receiver but how do I get it to turn on my TV? Anyone with any ideas? And what the hell does "TOGGLE" mean in the settings? I turned it on hoping it would turn on and off my TV but nothing happens....

have you linked it with your xbox? if so just go to power settings and you can choose what 'Xbox On' turns on
Well, it shows a code for my TV so I would think its linked but it still doesnt turn the set on though....
I am beginning to wonder if the download issue is Ryse in itself. It didn't help that it was a new game on new hardware. I myself didn't notice it because I had bought so many launch games that I didn't make it to Ryse until the next day.
As for the tv it should be in settings, mine is set to toggle.

I think it is with Ryse. Havent had a problem with anything else. As far as TV goes, I got it to work.
You've gotta think of how large the US is. There are many rural areas with very large distances between them and larger towns/cities.
I've only run up against the Caps with this (the only one with decent speed) provider. They told me they used to be uncapped, but last year they changed because the system was getting overloaded. Not sure I believe that. We need more competition, but the town I live in is pretty small. I hear in Dallas they are going fiber in a big way at like 30 buck/mo. I was even hearing speeds as fast as a 1000mbps coming to some areas
What is Affordable? I'm paying about 70 dollars/mo for 50mbps
It is still up to the game. Some are able to allow you to play after 10% install and some not untill 75%
I'm getting 4-6MB/s depending what else I'm doing. With your speed 40GB game would take 9.5 hours to fully download on mine 1.9-2.5hrs.
And all games need to be installed onto the HDD as Blu-ray drives are not fast enough to stream textures they are about 20-30MB/s while xbox HDD is 84MB/s to stream textures.
It's all about cities you live in. Here in Cleveland Ohio there are no data caps with 100Mbit from time warner being $80/month, 50Mbit for $60, and 30Mbit for $40. None have caps as area is not too congested, but if you live in LA or other parts of Cali or lets say Huston Texas then yeah. You can still get Verizon fiber pretty much anywhere with up to 300Mbit I believe, but I have 0 interest in Verizon. Oh and it's illegal for a broadband internet provider to put caps unless there are other broadband providers in the area and if there are then only one is allowed to have caps.
No need to hide it, we all know that Sony throttles download speeds so their own servers don't get congested and so they don't need to upgrade their own servers lol.
Ryse finished installing at about 1:30am in the morning, Pacific.We're talking about from early in the evening to the next day. Thats re-DONKULUS!! However, At around 8pm I talked to a MS tech on chat and for my troubles she sent me the code for my very own free version of, wait for it....................................KILLER INSTINCT!! I havent even looked at dat muffugah as it told me from the JUMP that it may take some time to load. Probably'll be finished this same day and time in 2015....Bastards!
I said, damn, damn, damn! Thats C.S. for you right there though, right?
Anyhow, RYSE is incredible ( what I played of it so far...) I was two steps from tossing that sum bish right out my patio window but, at the end of the day (literally) it was worth it. I hope no one else had to go through that though, or will have to.
I downloaded Killer Instinct for free... lol.
I just checked with my wife- we are paying $55/mo... that was a pleasant surprise.
Really not liking the sound of all that. Why does it all have to be installed with the new consoles? I sure as hell am going to miss the 360's ways when i buy X1 i'm sure.
Not everyone's experience is the same apparently. It took me less than an hour to set up my Xbox One and start playing my first game.
Yeah i sure as hell am not going to be dealing with that. I will make sure to have a much better connection by the time i get my X1.
I'd wait 3 hours for a game to install on my Xbox One even if it only took 20 minutes on the other console. Once you've enjoyed the pinnacle of console gaming there's no other choice. Greatness isn't given, it's earned.
Message me where as I am looking to get another one of the consoles I don't like(sarcasm) for my son.Erm, well...wasnt able to upload pics from my camera phone. but I got my One for a steal at $360 w/Kinect. Practically brand new! WOOT WOOT!! Good things come to those who wait!
Speaking of which. I wanted to play some Ghosts on the PS4 and haven't played it in months. Bang, 1 hour update. I guess we all can't be perfect like the 360 was.
That is pretty bad. Considering all games have updates and large updates are fairly common, it makes this quirk of the xbox one off-putting.
I didn't know that either. In Denmark we got fiber net nearly all places, with 100mbps.
Is yours subject to a fair usage policy ? Read the fine-print on any UK ISP without strict caps and you will see that they can limited your speed when they deem it worthy. No specific usage guide is given which means they can do it when ever they want.
I got 100/20 Mbps fiber, and buy all games DD. No problem, you can play another game while downloading.
(many) GB updates doesn't matter either, they will be download while X1 are in Instant on mode. This gen I'm going all DD and I'll never go back to disc again.
It took me 40 minutes to download and install Titanfall, Ryse about 55 minutes to install from disk. The problem lies when buying older games that have huge updates, having to download those updates before being allowed to start the game needs looking at.
The PS4 updates and patches are just as big and take a long time as well. It's the initial game install that is faster.
