Help Needed.

Not sure why it is not working...unless you are trying BO2? According to this list:

majornelson.com/.../xbox-one-backward-compatibility

BO2 is NOT BC....only BO1 is.

i too am having the same issue and unfortunately the link wasn't helpful as it does not have this issue listed.

all my 360 games used to work fine on xbox one but now the game starts but as soon as it tries to connect to live it says "unable to connect to xbox live" However if i play a xbox One game it works fine. i set my old 360 up and exactly the same issue...its
driving me mad, it doesn't make sense ! .Somebody suggested that i could of been banned on 360, i do play a few old games like MW2 GTA4 and inevitably end up in hacked lobby's but have never cheated or received a message to say im banned. i miss my old games
please help :-/

They will work as long as they are backwards compatible. If they're not backwards compatible, then they won't work on anything other than a 360 console.

The One store/website have never been updated to work with the currency system for backwards compatible content. The only way to purchase backwards compatible games with the funds on your account is through a 360 console.

Oblivion is backwards compatible so it will work on the One X. You can view a list of backwards compatible games at https://www.xbox.com/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games

Njal the Blue

They have stopped backwards compatibility for the Xbox One and the team are working on backwards compatibility for project Scarlett

No. Minecraft is not backwards compatible.

There has been no announcement about all 360 games working on the One. Only games that are backwards compatible will work.

Smwutches

Any Xbox One games will work and any original Xbox/360 games that are backwards compatible will work. You can find a list of backwards compatible games here - https://majornelson.com/blog/xbox-one-backward-compatibility/
