PLEASE READ!!! your game my not actually be fully downloaded. I have spoken to many xbox one Elite Dangerous players and have found that when the game is purchased it often only downloads the physics engine and not the full game BUT it is still playable. which prevents them from knowing that only a portion of the game is actually downloaded. For example if you look up Elite Dangerous in the Xbox store and find the standard edition it will say it includes 3 things, the physics engine, Elite Dangerous, and the arena. However I have had many friends who were having issues and i had them go into their "games and apps" on the xbox and then go into "manage game" for Elite dangerous. What they found was that the physics engine was installed but that Elite Dangerous and Elite Dangerous Arena were not installed, but sitting in the "ready to install" position. I myself found that i also only had the physics engine installed and immediately installed the remaining 2 files. This was after a good month or so of playing the game. I instantly noticed the game improved in many ways. Im very conserned that this is a much more wide spread issue then xbox players realize due to the fact that the game will still function with only the physics engine installed. Im no coder but it would seem to be wise to make it so the game can't function in any degree until all three parts are properly installed. I'm concerned that this may be a root cause to other issues. I really want to get this resolved because i love the game and want to see it flourish on the xbox. Thanks.
UPDATE
Thanks for the clarification Gary. I'm relieved to hear everything is in good order. Sorry everyone if i started any confusion. I Love the game and want to help where I can. I may have been a little overzealous but that's only because I care.
As for those asking how I felt it improved the game id be happy to explain. And based off of the Light Gary has shed maybe these were just coincidence. I was able to find Arena matches. My Galaxy map felt like it loaded quicker and super cruise transition felt smoother. A friend of mine before he installed the remaining 2 items was getting messages in game that said Something along the lines of "there are too many people playing online with unofficial versions of the game and you might get kicked". And he did get kicked a lot. When he installed the remaining 2 items it stopped happening. Maybe people hadn't downloaded the latest patch or something.
Anyways I appreciate the quick reply and explanations.
