    Backwards Compatible Games Won't Connect to Xbox Live


    I was trying to play Call of Duty: World at War and it said that I couldnt connect to xbox live. So i went to test connection and it said it was fine. I then tried playinf Black ops 1 and Fall Out 3, also backwards compatible, and the same thing happened.
    I then tested a xbox one game and xbox live worked perfectly fine. Xbox live was only working for Xbox One games and not backwords compatible 360 games.

    :)

    fine on my One but I get that 8007007A error code whenever I try to

    log into a 360 in any way on that account.

    You're not the only one- Just got off a Hour and 1/2 call with Xbox Customer Service. The guy was great and I didn't realize that all that time went by but unfortunately he wasn't able to fix the issue.

  6. Alright so when you go to play your Xbox 360 game on the Xbox one, notice it gives you a notification basically saying you cannot sign in on this console. It should then ask you to sign in or "choose a profile" and it should have a list of every single profile
    on your system. However, the very last option should be "download profile". Now, I know this may seem like a weird way to fix the problem, but I want you to redownload your profile even if its already there. Just redownload your profile and sign in. If it
    does not work (which it should), then delete your profile from the system entirely and then redownload it. Hope that helps. :] happy gaming!

    I'm having sort of the same issue. I can get on live, but the game will start but I'll be stuck on the setting up game... screen. It's making me upset.

    You may need to redownload your profile onto the Xbox One. If you have two step authentication enabled on your Microsoft Account, or have required that your profile be downloaded on all consoles, you may run into trouble when trying to play Xbox 360 games
    on Xbox One.

    First of all, login to your Microsoft Account on the Xbox website and navigate to this page:

    live.xbox.com/.../Protection

    Check to see whether your consoles require the profile to be redownloaded.

    If you have a password greater than 16 characters, or have two step authentication enabled, go to the following link:

    account.live.com/.../AppPassword

    This will generate an app password for you to use to log in on Xbox 360. Once you have this password, follow these instructions to download your profile again.

    From the Xbox 360, press the View and Menu buttons together on your controller to bring up the Xbox 360 Guide.

    Press X on your controller to sign on. Now, select Sign in and instead of selecting one of the profiles shown, instead select Download profile.

    Log in with your Microsoft Account email address and the app password generated for you (or your actual password if you do not have two step authentication enabled and your password is less than 16 characters in length).

    Depending on how big your profile is, it may take some time to download. Once the download is complete, you should be able to enjoy all of your compatible Xbox 360 games on Xbox One without having to repeat this process again.

    Please note, you may have to download your profile again after changing the password for your Microsoft Account, or if you add or remove two step authentication.

    If this hasn't solved your problem, please let us know so I or someone else can offer more troubleshooting options.

  11. Similar problem a lot more frequently recently. I'm getting disconnected from Xbox LIVE on a backwards compatible game on the One and it immediately tells me it cannot connect when I try again. But when I back out to the Xbox One dash it's all still perfectly
    fine there. I have to quit the game for several min. then log back into it for it to fix, but this is kicking me off every 30 min. or so now. It was very rare until yesterday.

    Backwards Compatible Games Won't Connect to Xbox Live

    Actually had this happen to me with a few games.

    What I had to do was go into the Xbox one settings and delete all persistent storage.

    Deleting and re-downloading my profile several times didn't do it.

    I bought a 360 game only to find out I can't play it on my Xbox ONE. The at the store lied to me.

    Not all games are backwards compatible. If the game is not listed here it won't work. Backwards compatible games are being added all the time, but backwards
    compatibility is up to the publisher. So not all games will be made compatible.

    I have a question about backwards compatibility

    If it's not backwards compatible (and this game isn't) then no, it won't work. You can view the backwards compatibility list
    here. If a game is not on that list, you can't play it on an Xbox One.
  18. Smwutches Win User

    please help me

    That game is not backwards compatible so it won't work on the 360. I'm not sure about the connection issues though.

    Wait until E3? Why?

    No backwards compatibility = Don't care

    Mandatory game installs = Do it

    Blocked used games = Don't care. Prefer new.

    Internet connection required = I pull my hair out if my xbox won't connect to live.

    I guess I'm all set. Ready to pre-order.
