    “Add on | Doesn’t need to be installed” But why is this happening [​IMG]


    Good afternoon, I’ve recently just bought a Xbox series s and first day I had upgrade the majority of my games so after that I try to play MK and realized some of my characters are missing. So I look at my manage games and add-ons and I see “add-on | Doesn’t need to be installed” and I’ve tried soft restarting, re-installing even signing out and then signing back in. Happened with some dlc for a backwards compatible 360 game as well. Any suggestions?

    :)

    Hi JayJay×͜×! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    In your games list, focus on a game, press the Menu button on your controller, select Manage game and add-ons, select the game box in the upper right corner of the screen, then choose Manage installation on [drive name]. This will show a list of items including the base game and any available add-ons or game features. Select the checkbox for each item you want to install (or uncheck to uninstall), and then select Save changes.

    Add-on “doesn’t need to be installed”

    Have you tried to access the content in-game? If the console is showing they don't need to be installed, then they don't need to be installed to be accessed. If you still have doubts, try reinstalling the game.

    No, they’re literal DLC packs that should be able to be installed from the manage games menu on my console

    Hello, Faruja. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

    Usually add-ons don't need to be installed and can be accessed in-game. You cannot access any of the content in-game?

    Waiting for your kind reply.

    Add-on “doesn’t need to be installed”

    I understand, my friend, but if the console shows you that an add-on does not need to be installed, it does not need to be installed to be accessed. If this is a bug or glitch - meaning the add-ons need to be installed but the console states that they don't - all you can do is report it to the game developers' and to the Xbox team:

    Sorry about this and I hope you understand.
