If the update is so big because of possible assets being replaced, does the 13GB add to the current size of DR3, or are they less than the sum of their parts?

Apparently it only adds 1.5gb to the current size, according to a post earlier in the thread. (On mobile so can't search for it)

 

[sangreal]

I do think there is a setting in settings to not auto download anything. I could be wrong.

 

[paolo11]

What's sucks is the patch did not fix the blueprint beer hat gltich (still 96/105 and I maxed my stats).

 

[Dead Man]

Does anyone have any real statistics on the ratio of metered to unmetered internet users worldwide? I've had a bit of a search but couldn't find anything.

Not that I know of, but it would be interesting to see.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Think it just tacks on 1.5GB to the total fe size, so it's kinda rediculous you can't just download the 1.5gb patch and instead have to redone load the whole game file.

 

[panda-zebra]

Well, this can't be any more frustrating than installing Burnout Paradise on a PS3. That will test you.

My personal "favourite" was Eye Of Judgment. Painful, especially in the old days of fairly crappy internets here.

Speaking of bad update/install experiences for PS games? Try Hot Shots Golf: World Tour or PAIN. Those were the bad old days.

 

[icespide]

holy crap, I hope this isn't a new normal for patches

 

[DirtyLarry]

Some release notes really would be nice.

 

[infinityBCRT]

While I can't imagine any plausible explanation for using 13GB for an update than a horribly ineffective structure of the application or some really fundamental problem that requires a clean sweep, I do find it hilarious that people in a gaming forum on the internet are worried that 13GB kills their download cap.

If you have Rogers Internet Lite in Canada, you get 20GB per month. Even the high end internet from Rogers is only 120GB per month.

How bad was that install?

 

[BeEatNU]

lol and I thought the 5GB update was bad during Christmas time. yikes

 

[BWJinxing]

Im lucky and top out around 120 Mbps, but in the past when it was 50 Mbps, I never got anything from xbl at at 50 Mbps. It always felt like a 1 MB/sec (roughly 10 Mbps) dl speed

Has the download speed improved on xbone live?

 

[RulkezX]

Love it, phoned the wife earlier to ask her to turn on the Xo and put it into standby so the patch would be downloaded when I got home. Well she didn't know the voice command so just left it turned on suspecting it would do whatever it was I wanted anyway......except it didn't.

It's downloaded a KI patch and some of a Forza update, but wouldn't even start the DR3 update until I put the disc in.

Just started the update and it said 50% done already hmm

Would be interesting if someone were to run a check on exactly how much data is downloaded...

Maybe the update is 13GB only if you haven't retrieved the previous patch already ? That would fit with 6GB ~= 50% of 13GB.

Good catch.

Nope.

It starts at 50% regardless. Every single patch so Xbox games so far has displayed a % complete > 0 when you start patching, it's something to do with the size of the complete install, not the % of the patch that has been downloaded.

 

[Rey]

Came home from work and checked the Xbox and i saw a notification for Dead Rising 3. The patch was downloaded and installed while in sleep mode. Total size is 24.8Gb. So everything is fine for me. I have the digital version of DR3.

 

[Ran Ran]

This explains what some of the changes they made are.

[Sons Of Anarchy]

Damn that's a huge update

 

[FStop7]

Wow. Biggest update I can ever recall downloading is 12+ gigs for the Witcher 2 on PC, which was all of the Enhanced Edition content, etc.

 

[BigDug13]

So patches for disc-based games won't download unless the disc is in the drive? What possible reason could there be for that limitation?

 

[pixlexic]

no it downloads but takes about 10 secs to finalize it when you put the disk in. I just did it.

 

[Dabanton]

That update sounds great. Love some of the new additions.

I was going off this:

[Fortinbras]

That doesn't work for me at all. I always have to start downloading the updates manually.

 

[RulkezX]

My console has been on since 12pm UK today , the console downloaded patches for KI and Forza, but didn't start downloading the patch for DR until I inserted the disc into the drive.

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

13 GB update, okay...

 

[ThatChairMan]

If only the DLC were already on the disc.

Some nice things there, can't wait for the episodes!

 

[Sobriquet]

Total size is, after install 24.8gb

Thank you. I guess I got the patch. I was checking the thread to see how to tell if I got it or not and saw your post.

FWIW, I did not have the disc in the drive when it updated.

 

[ElNino]

If you have Rogers Internet Lite in Canada, you get 20GB per month. Even the high end internet from Rogers is only 120GB per month.

Or you can pay an extra $10 per month and get unlimited bandwidth like I did last year in anticipation of the X1/PS4.

 

[Omni]

13GB? That's ridiculous.

Looks like I won't be buying this game when I get my Xbone on the 10th. Damn Internet caps.

 

[WrenchNinja]

You're clearly not Canadian.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

No co-op for the expansions... that's a real bummer.

 

[Ludist210]

Holy moly. How big is the game pre-patch? Half of my PS3 downloads (retail and otherwise) are less than half that size!

 

[5amshift]

Hand up to my mouth. I laughed so hard.
How big is the game on disc anyways?

[Family Fry]

Hand up to my mouth. I laughed so hard.

19.9gb disc install.
The update takes the file size to 24.8gb.

 

[Pinbot]

Disgraceful.

Why should I download 15gb of the dlc if I don't want to play it! I'm Australian and I have great internet for this country; 7mpbs and a 200gb cap, but this is a joke!

 

[antronoid]

So glad I don't have an internet cap for this! But silly how I have to download DLC that I probably won't buy.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Disgraceful.

It's not 15gb of DLC. It replaces a lot of content on the hard drive already. The download is pretty big, though....

 

[jbug617]

Cool they added Impulse Trigger support in the update.

My internet is pretty decent

but I only have a 15gb a month limit. If I wanted to download this patch, I'd have nothing left. :lol

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Impulse support was already in the game though...

 

[SEGAvangelist]

They improved the impulse trigger support. Added some stuff.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Ah, okay. That's cool, I guess. Will check it out when the patch finishes downloading/installing...

Shouldn't take too long with my connection.



Thank the heavens for no data cap or traffic shaping. It's currently maxing out my connection...

 

[Skeff]

So let's clarify, when a new owner put's DR3 into their system, with the current XB1 installation system, it would download this 13gb patch before installing correct?

If that's true they need to change something.

I'm not sure about this. I was able to start playing a new game after 20% into this new patch. Existing saves didn't work until the patch was complete, though. I think 2-3GB of downloading the patch may actually get you started.

 

[swcpig]

That screen shot looks much better. I have this game but haven't fired it up yet - anyone able to comment on the stability improvements or any visual improvements? Someone mentioned zombie bodies hang around longer/more.

Well I Guess that's better, but still a little disapointing, hope they sort it before I pick up my XB1.
