46.33 GB Update on Xbox

IVoo · August 2018

Does anyone know why, or what's included in this 46.33 GB patch that's downloading?

This is a pretty hefty update for consoles.

Sparr0w · August 2018

There's patch notes for it.

I don't play on console, but I'm curious.... how are console gamers supposed to keep full game (including all DLC's) or ESO when they are this large? I feel like most console players probably can't even use their consoles to play all content because they game and DLC's are so large?

I have ESO on its on SSD.

Thank you, Sparr0w.

My Xbox x and even previously Xbox One S has a 2T Memory and I also run an external 2T SSD with all my games im still only sitting at 90% free space

Same here.

I would just love to know the reason why the update for a DLC is larger than the vast majority of games i own. I know eso is a complex game with many moving parts but this just seems ridiculous.

Storage aside is there any real speed gain of a SSD on an Xbox One X, I saw a few reviews and tests online that it made VERY little actualy difference now due to the way the drives worked / optimisation etc not like on the Xbox One.

But yeah PC was 2Gb, PS4 25gb and Xbox 45 what gives?

I feel like the SSD improved my load times in ESO by a substantial margin. Also, before I had it, i would sometimes port to a crowded area and all the players would appear as black shadows until they loaded in. That doesn't happen anymore. I used to get loading screens while actually running through town and those are gone too. SSD gave me substantially more performance improvements than upgrading to the Xbox One X did.

When updates are this large, it's not actually adding an additional 46 GB to the Xbox HDD. Most of the update consists of game files that are already there that are overwritten. Why that needs to happen, I'm unsure, but it's not just ESO. Many games push their updates this way.

EvilAutoTech · August 2018

It doesn't actually make the game file 45GB bigger. A lot of that is for replacement files to fix previously identified problems.

Still, due to the ever growing size of this and other recent games, I'm down to just 10 games installed on my Xbox.

CuriousTraveler · August 2018

The size of the update with what we get out of it, is horsesh*t. Pretty much killed an entire day of playing to download this monstrosity. For some reason ESO is the only game that does not update automatically. I am not pleased with this in the least. Why you should care, no reason what so ever, since you are probably a soulless-button-pusher-working for a nameless corporate entity.

Good to know, guess it comes down to how the game in particular accesses files etc. Damn now I know there's a gain in interested but they £££ for a decent one!

Ranger74z · August 2018

Yeah one nice thing is you can buy an external HD for like $50 these days on Amazon.

Sure I wish I had an SSD...but they're like 3 times as expensive.

1TB Hard Drive for life!

Xbox NA

Skoomah · August 2018

I can confirm that SSD on PC helps performance too.

I agree. Hade to delete many expansions and a game just to run this. How and why is this allowed? Now it’s a day long wait for ESO, and a days wait for the deleted files.

XiDiabolismiX · August 2018

That's usually how it is though....

Y 'all better get a bigger hard drive if you want to continue playing this game on console because these updates are always huge.

Burpinflyz · August 2018

I don’t recall being told pre purchase that I needed 40 gig in reserves just to update. I’ll revist my EULA and user agreements.

Well I had 18 gig free but it kept telling me 1.7 gig more needed until all that was left was a 24 gig game left.

EvilAutoTech · August 2018

Well I guess I won't be able to play tonight. I called home as soon as the forum notice that maintenance was complete to start downloading the patch. I get home hours later and I am at 4.2 percent and my throughput speed is less than 10 Mb/s. I have 110 Mb/s internet.

I try to cancel the download to restart it and somehow now I have to reinstall the game? 91GB. WTF. Won't know until that's finished whether I have to reinstall anything else.

Not blaming ZOS for this (thanks Satya Nadella and Phil Spencer) but wow. Talk about your Ill Omen.

Same here, still downloading. Download looks like: 2.3Mb, 1.2Mb, 23Mb, 49Mb, 4Mb, 500kb (10 second sample). Beyond sad. Safety, yes by all means...but not on my dime, I pay monthly for this.

OGLezard · August 2018

Lol consoles and their insanely large downloads.

Mr_Walker · August 2018

Please zos, in months where you drop an update this big on us can you not repeat daily rewards from Septembers 28. It will take me two days to dl this, and unless it's all brand new 4K textures, it's hard to understand. That's massive!

The size of the updates aren't just piled on top of the base game's size, a ton of the game's files are overwritten. I have a 2TB external drive with more than a dozen games installed and still have 48% free space.

With the orginal xb 1 no extra storage no other games eso takes up 70% of my memory. Each big update I have to remove a game. Going to get to the point where eso takes up 100% and will force me into getting an ssd

Can someone please start this man a gofundme page so we can get him an external SSD? or maybe just sell your Xbox and go get that new Xbox one X and pay 35 a month for the next 2 years and it comes with gold and game pass for free
