    Adding back download games


    My main C drive went belly up so I have done a clean install of windows. However on my other two drives I have Xbox games form pass in folders called WindowsApps.

    Rather than download them all again, can I not point Xbox app at those folders like I can on steam?

    Cheers

    :)

    I'm afraid that isn't possible. You'll need to reinstall them.

    Problem with Content Collection #1

    When I first purchased it, I added them to items to be downloaded, I figured Ill play some games of Spec Ops while they download, no dice. They didn't start to download until I cancelled the current download, went back and added them to my download queue
    and went back to the dashboard. I just logged into work and waited for them to download.



    I could be wrong but if you try to do anything that involves the use of writing to the HD, streaming movies etc, it will pause the download.

    Wolf Among Us GWG XB1 missing from DL queue

    when you become silver all gwg games will be removed from the download queue or list, once you renew your sub they are then all re added back to the queue.

    A case of adding another nail in the coffin of downloaded games, your consumer rights are practically non existent, good points people have made for example if you buy a bum game on disc take it back, if it doesn't work take it back, bored with it take it
    back, whatever ever the reason take it back, the only headache downloads are saving you is a trip down the shop, or having to standing outside a shop at 12 at night
