Microsoft promises that thanks to FatStart we will be able to start playing without having to wait for the entire game to download

"

Surely on more than one occasion you have gone to play a game and you have encountered a problem: an update prevents you from using it until it is downloaded. The same thing happens when you buy it; you must wait for a period of time that, depending on your network connection, can take forever"

Microsoft has been working to fix this problem for some time and now it seems that the effort is beginning to pay off. FastStart is the name of Microsoft's development to end this problem.Let's find out what it consists of and how it works.

Less time to start playing

According to Microsoft, thanks to FastStar the time to start the game since we started the download se will halve. This saving of time is due to the system that they have implemented with FastStart.

Once the download process begins, the system is in charge of analyzing which are the basic files to be able to start the game A Once established which ones they are, the system will give them download priority so that the user does not have to wait for the entire game to have been installed.

FastStart uses a machine learning system based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) that detects how users begin to play in order to obtain better results than those previously offered by the “Game Ready” system.

This way you can start the game while the game is still downloading in the background. But in order to take advantage of this improvement, users must make sure that the game they download is compatible with FastStart, for which they must look for the identification seal.

In addition, Microsoft recommends having at least a 20 Mbps connection, so we are a good number of users who in theory we could not access this improvement.

We will have to wait and see how it reaches the market, the first available titles and thus determine if the improvement it brings is so significant how what they have told us.
