Cannot install Destiny 2, Microsoft Simulator nor Forza 5 because of space when THERE IS...

I also just switched to the Halo 5 console couple of days ago, and I'm having the same issues. For me, it's always my digital copies of Destiny, GTA V, and Forza 6 that refuses to install. They all get 1 % or 2 %, and then stop. (Forza 5 and Forza Horizon
2 installed fine from the Store.)

Destiny actually gets to the point where it says it's ready to start. When I launch it, it passes the “Press A to start” screen and goes to “Transferring game content”, but nothing gets downloaded/installed.

I happen to have a disc of Forza 6 as well, and for that game, I can install the game successfully from that. And since I have the digital licence already, I can take the disc out after that and still play the game. However, I couldn't apply the same method
to Destiny. (Maybe that's because it was a vanilla Destiny disc, not The Taken King?)

Hi Darhyl,

Sorry it took a while to reply, 2 days ago it finished installing - it took almost 2 weeks! crazy crazy.

There is no way i will factory reset the xbox and download the full DOA game again - which takes weeks also, sadly that was the reason I have an xbox and have to go through crazy hoops for that also - one supposedly the worlds fastest game console, that game (DOA) can take 30 minutes to start.

With regards to Flight Simulator, it's a sad case that a game cannot install without issues in a timely manner in 2023. Microsoft does make some good software and generally with a good experience, but I cannot say the installation of Flight Simulator X is a good one (nor offtopic 30 minutes to run DOA either just because I chose to buy every DLC)...

I tried installing Forza horizon 5 it was at 20% or so then it just randomly stopped and disappeared. And now when I try to install it, it says I don't have enough space because it for some reason when the download stopped it didn't give me my disc space back. any ideas? Before i tried installing it the first time I had 130gb available and after now it didn't install and it says i have 30 now that I try to install it again.

The fix is to go into Microsoft store and press resume installation.

Hey Space,

Sorry you're having trouble installing Forza 5.

Are you installing it via a disc? If you are, I've heard this fix works before:

1) When your installation stops are doesn't seem to be progressing anymore, go to the xbox live marketplace on your xbox one

2) Search for Forza Motorsport 5 and click on the 'install' button from there.

Its kind of a weird workaround, but it has worked for other people.

Let me know!
