    "Can't launch Sleeping Dogs" error


    Hello, all! I recently downloaded Sleeping Dogs from XBL onto two Xboxes. One my husband did and one that I did. It seemed to work fine for him on both consoles. I was able to play it with my gt on one console, but the other, I get the subject's states
    error. Any thoughts? I've gone into the market and "re downloaded" it and restarted the xbox. No solution thus far. Thanks for any advice!

    :)

    "Can't launch Sleeping Dogs" error

    Which profile was used to download the game? Only one or both?

    If it was only your husband that downloaded the game both times, the reason is this:

    On the console he downloaded it to first, that one has a console licence and thus all users can play the game unabated, both online and offline.

    On any other console, only your husband's account would be able to play the game (his profile has the profile licence), and he needs to be connected to Live while doing so.

    Hmm. He downloaded the game on both. I had "downloaded" per se, the game on one. I just went to the marketplace and selected it. It was working fine a few days ago, I'm trying on the other console this evening and there is where I'm getting the error. I
    did the same process as before. Even on the other console, I didn't actually have to download it to the box. Maybe I missed my window.

    Hm, well if you go to the Marketplace on the console after it's already been downloaded, the Download button is replaced with a Play Now button, so you probably would not have been able to 'download' it and thus tie it to your account.

    To check, go to Settings/Account/Download History. If you can see it in there, you are indeed having some kind of problem. If it is not there, then it does seem like only your husband downloaded the game, and you will be restricted to playing it on the first
    console.

    If it is there in that list and you are having problems, the most likely thing is that on the second console you are not actively connected to Live while playing? On any console other than the one you download to initially, you do need to be connected to
    the Internet in order to play it (console needs to verify the profile licence).

    Sleeping Dogs Download Help

    I have the same problem. I'm downloading Sleeping Dogs from Live BR and the download stops at 64%. When I try downloading it again, an error message shows up: Can't download Sleeping Dogs.

    Please solve this! :(

    Bought sleeping dogs for summer sale and cant play

    Assuming your console is already factory reset and rolled back to the stable, non-preview firmware, what happens when you attempt to play Sleeping Dogs? How are you launching the game? Is there an error message of any kind?

    Which is the best of these games? GTA IV, GTA V, WD or Sleeping Dogs?

    Sleeping Dogs for me, own it on both consoles ans went to launch night for the 360 ANZ version. I was a "true crimes" fan as it was but Sleeping Dogs is such a quality release.

    Who mentioned just cause 2? I Platinumed that on the PS3 and 670/1000 on 360, Love that game

    Sleeping Dogs launch trailer

    I was surprised when I found out Emma Stone was in this video games. Huge A list movie stars usually don't lend their voices to video games especially not for a role as small as the one Emma Stone's character had in this game.

    Sleeping Dogs launch trailer

    Yep under preset outfits, it shows all the ones from the Martial arts clubs and the Just cause outifit but two from the lock boxes - the Hai Tien vintage outfit and the Part time assassin outfit are not there. They even show in the lists as not being owned
    even though I have opened the boxes, the Mr Black outfit is there though. The Hai Tien is the one I want the most. so they better have patched the bug before I reach face level 8.
