    Backwards compatible games not saving/unable to sign in to XBL


    I changed my gamertag a while ago, and when i went to play gta 4 through backward compatibility it asked my to sign in and displayed my old gamertag. I went to sign in and it didnt let me. After i try to sign in it says "sorry, this profile cant connect
    to xbox live on this console. To fix this, download it again" and i cant download my account as its already there. This has happened with every backwards compatibile game i own and i cant make any saves. Any help is appreciated.

    :)

  2. Backwards Compatible Games Not Saving

    Also, the answer to your question would simply be to try manualy saving your game, or try turning your xbox off by holding down the on/off button on your console until it shuts off. Than try to load/save your games to the cloud/hard drive.

    I removed my XBox One profile completely. Is there a way to remove just the 360 profile from my XB1?

    Hey there, Kirk!

    I'm sorry to see any issues with back compat games. With your gamertag switch, you may need to clear the 360 data from your Xbox One. Let's follow these steps to do that and try to get your account back in working order across the board.

    • Hit the Xbox button on your controller, then go all the way to Settings.
    • All settings
    • System
    • Storage
    • Clear local Xbox 360 storage
    • After that you will want to
      remove your profile
      from your Xbox One.
    • Follow the steps in that link to add your profile again.

    Give GTA IV a try again, and see if that works for you. Let me know how it goes!

    xbox 360 transfer

    Your profile information (gamerscore, avatar, etc.) will transfer, but the One is not backwards compatible. So you will be unable to play/use 360 games or saves.

    Xbox 360 games to Xbox one X

    As long as you're signed into the same account you used, any games that are backwards compatible will show as Ready to Install in your Games and Apps and you would download them from there (unfortunately GTA 5 is not compatible). You can see a list of all
    of the backwards compatible games at https://www.xbox.com/xbox-one/backward-compatibility?xr=shellnav

    If they're not already, you would want to store your 360 game saves on the cloud in order to use them with backwards compatibility on the One.

    Transferring data across xbox 360 hard drive to Cloud Saved Games

    Hello Coolz,

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Do you mean that the file sizes for the saved data average in Mbps, or that the upload speed is in Mbps? Any disc games that are backwards compatible will need to be installed on the Xbox One by placing
    the disc in the console. Any digital backwards compatible games will show up in ready to install as soon as the account is placed on an Xbox One and signed in. We have a list of all

    backwards compatible games
    . We have an article entitled
    Xbox 360 Cloud Game Saves FAQ
    which can answer several questions about cloud saved games. Be sure to let us know the results!
