Difference between CD-installation and noCD-installation

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody :D 
I wanna know, if there's a difference, between installing a game via CD or via net? (except that CD's take about 1/10 of a time to install)

Assuming you're talking about PC via Steam nothing at all except speed as you point out.

If you're referring to console (Xbox One), it should be faster from disk because with the exception of having to download the accompanying updates  to the installation online, almost all of the installation files are on the disk for easy read-write access and that equates to a faster install.  Also, I've found that running the game from disk, regardless of game manufacturer, is less prone to crashing. Just my two bits!
