Calm down. I edited once I realised.

Two completely different operating systems. It's not strange, if true, that the Xbox One can't handle two different install discs for one executable. Why build an option when you don't expect it to be used in the near future, you'll dedicate your valuable dev time for other options that are more likely to be used in the near future.Wait, so the X1 right now doesnt have the capability to install off the second disc? How the hell did they miss that? We hit that limit less than a year after release. And GTAV looks like it will be blowing past it too.
The X360 was able to do this FFS!
Downloaded and pinned to home. Now to wait for the update!

I wish I could "finish" the download. I decided to just leave the system on and got the download to 73% before heading off to bed thinking in the morning it would be done...nope...back to 46%.
So nothing works for me as far as the Always-on option or Energy saving option, the download always reverts to a previous % of completeness.
Edit: Oh joy...back to 31%.
I know those feels. I've used some 70GB of bandwidth allowance trying to download this game and I'm only on 75%

You should have waited until the end of the month.
Kind of booty?
No need to call bs. Anything is feasible, it simply wasn't practical for this product, this year in this timeline. The Xbox One platform continues to improve and mature, arguably faster and more meaningfully than others and maybe next year two discs or some other method would have been the right approach, but this year it's the option we have available that on balance, makes the most sense for this giant, ambitious project.
Do I understand the inconvenience and annoyance for some users? Of course. I'm not going to blow smoke or ignore it.
For some folks it will be straight up annoying and I both apologize unreservedly for the irritance, and hope that the package and the way it works more than makes up for it.
I've been playing the whole enchilada for a week now and the ability to sample, jump from aspect to aspect, customize with skulls and playlists has been absolutely addictive and mesmerizing.
I think I would have enjoyed a box set with the same fidelity, but the way it all connects has for me at least, made it more than the sum of its parts.
So while there are a couple of warriors in here with redundant agendas and concern trolls, I also get that 20 gigs is a fair old chunk of bits and it is not ideal. Most players will have a smooth and happy experience. The game will launch (including digital version) before installation is complete, so there is plenty of content to play around in while the red installs.
And we are continuing to look at ways to reduce that inconvenience.
I personally have pretty lame internet and I am doing everything via wifi, but my installation and immediate play were all pretty buttery.

Yep, right back at my first post in this thread here.
I'm sorry that I went off on you like that, & I apologize, because it's not your fault.
All I'm asking from posters everywhere here, is to start treating me fairly, & with respect. If people are gonna start bashing me for saying what I said, then start getting on other posters for doing the same thing as well.
Respect, & equal/fair treatment. That's all I ask.
Okay, people directly above you and in numerous other occasions have stated that the XB1 probably doesn't support multiple discs right now in the OS. When Stinkles says it's their only option right now, that's probably the reason why.I can understand the reasoning behind not wanting the user to swap discs, but this 20GB download just isn't practical for a lot of people. They should have released it on two discs with the single player portion on one disc and the MP on the other disc to minimize the disc swapping, and then had the 20GB worth of data available as an optional download for those that have the capacity to handle it and want to eliminate the need to swap discs.

Swapping discs isn't practical for plenty of people in 2014.
Not sure if serious. I really hope we haven't reached a level of laziness where someone doesn't find it practical to walk up to their xbox and swap a disc.
Not sure if serious but this isn't the 90s/early00s anymore.

Microsoft, and I'm guessing a lot of us as well, didn't expect games to require more than 50GB of storage this soon in the generation.

Wow.
I wonder what you did with those multi disc games that game out at the tail end of the Xbox 360 era
My pre-load is completed....

So this is already a known problem and they are trying to fix it? Good to know.
2 links? This is just too much
how are some of the clowns in this thread not getting banned
no wonder gaf's gaming side is getting such a bad rep

I am not a programmer
I would say this would be a rather simple update to the Xbox One at best

Therefore the only difference to me appears to be the method of delivery. As explained above, all content runs from the hard-drive. What possible reason would linking extra content from the hard-drive which came from the internet be possible, but not if it originally came from a disk?
Hmmmmmmmm
I am not a programmer, so please feel free to enlighten me if you genuinely know this
I'm guessing it's something simple like: the 20GB update isn't ready yet, and the game discs needed to go gold. Can't make a second disc for it if the content for it isn't quite ready...
Since the digital download doesn't include it yet, I imagine they are still finishing work on the update.
