Backwards Comp Games not connecting to Xbox Live

TG AceoHearts · May 19, 2019

I was just playing Tecmo Bowl Throwback on my XB1-X and earned several achievements in it. When I went to check my progress in the game it asked if I waned to connect to Xbox Live. I clicked it and it said it couldn't connect. My XB1-X is connected
to Live, but the emulator used to play 360 games on it can't. Any thoughts?

Uninstalling and re-installing the game worked. I had to manually sign into XBox Live once the game started, but the achievements were added to my GS. Thank you all for your help.

Try performing a hard reset EXACTLY like this. Hold the power button on the console for 8 seconds or until the power shuts down completely.
Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes.
Plug the power cord back in and restart the console.

I am having this problem with GTA IV, AirMech, and Assassin's Creed but then other BC titles worked for me like Aegis Wing and Age of Booty (those were the only ones I checked). I was able to get GTA IV to finally work by uninstalling the game and then reinstalling.
Given that Tecmo Bowl Throwback is so small, would you be interested in uninstalling and reinstalling and seeing if that fixes your issue as well? I have a lot of 360 games and so hopefully this gets figured out and resolved.

Here are the steps that I have tried that did not resolve the issue and I have the exact same error message as TG AceoHearts

1. Hard Reset

2. Deleted 360 profile within the 360 emulator environment. Now, the interesting thing is that I was actually not able to redownload my profile within GTA IV. I would get an error saying there was not network connectivity. So, I loaded up Aegis Wing
and since it was working I was able to redownload my profile within that game's emulator.

3. Cleared all local 360 saves.

4. It was only when I completely uninstalled and reinstalled GTA IV that it started to work again and allow me to sign into Xbox Live from within that games emulated 360 environment.

I mention all of these steps just in case it was not only the uninstalling of the game that resolved the issue but rather a combination of steps. If TG hasn't performed any of those steps and just uninstalls and reinstalls it might be a good test.
