Hi, Ive tried Googling and searching the forums for this but every problem I find is to do with slow downloads whereas my problem is extremely slow installs. I can download a 1.5Gb patch in about a 20th of the time it takes to install it. With a speed of 350-400 kb/s it'll take around 16-18 hours to download entire WoW. But if you just want to download until it's launchable then much less. The game will be fully patched once you download it all, maybe excluding very small minor patches which will be done in seconds (like the recent realm list fix). Install World of Warcraft. Double-click the World of Warcraft setup file, then follow any on-screen instructions. Once you see the Blizzard client open, World of Warcraft will begin installing any new updates; when this process completes, you can begin playing WoW by clicking the PLAY button at the bottom of the Blizzard client window. World of Warcraft ® is being downloaded! If your download didn't start, try again.
At the Gadget Helpline we receive quite a few calls from frustrated Xbox One gamers who are desperately waiting to play their latest digital purchase but are experiencing a seemingly endless wait for the game download to complete. There are various factors which can affect download times including your network connection speed and the status of the Xbox Live network, which can be notoriously temperamental.
Microsoft offers a useful guide to download times which can help Xbox One owners manage their expectations when downloading games based on the size of the game and your download speed and we’ve included it in this article for your reference.
Game size in gigabytes will be stated when purchasing from the Xbox Store. For example, the new Mortal Kombat X weighs in at 34.66GB so depending on your broadband speed this could take anywhere between 30 minutes on a 200Mb/s connection and 40 hours on a 2Mb/s connection.*
