    Can't play my game discs due to Game Pass license problem


    Just today, when I was about to fire up my own game that I bought with my own money even before Game Pass existed, it wouldn't let me because my Game Pass subscription had ended. This doesn't make any sense, and I suppose it shouldn't be happening, but considering
    that I own the physical copy, I shouldn't be locked out of it because of a service that came well after.

    I've tried everything, from clearing the console's cache (hard reset), removing my profile and restoring it from the console, to uninstalling and reinstalling the game. The error code that's being thrown out is 0x803f800e. I hope this issue can be resolved,
    or my money should be given back considering that it's being held at ransom by the software.

    :)

    What do I need to do to be able to play my games when they have the triangle warning symbol?

    Hi again Cf_22

    The triangle warning symbol on your Xbox One games indicates that you can't play them due to a licensing issue. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:

    Possible Reasons:

    Missing or corrupted license: The game's license might be missing or corrupted on your Xbox.

    Region mismatch: The game might be from a different region than your account.

    Server issues: There could be temporary problems with Xbox servers preventing license verification.

    Disc problems: The game disc might be dirty, scratched, or damaged.

    Solutions:

    Restart your Xbox One: This can sometimes resolve temporary glitches.

    Check your internet connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection.

    Clear the cache: Clearing the cache on your Xbox One can sometimes resolve licensing issues.

    Remove and re-insert the game disc: This can sometimes fix problems with reading the disc.

    Check for updates: Make sure your Xbox One and the game are updated to the latest versions.

    Verify your license: Go to My Games & Apps and select the game with the warning symbol. Choose "Manage game" and then "Manage licenses." This will try to re-download the license for the game.

    Best regards. Oskayra

    Why does the game gave me error code 0x89245201

    You need a license to play the game. Since you own the game on disc, your license is on the disc. Since you can't use the disc on a Series S, you need to purchase the game digitally in order to be able to play it.

    ''Looks like you need to renew Xbox Game Pass'' even though I never even bought game pass.

    You may have obtained the game through a game pass because even if you own the physical disc game if it's not inside the Xbox the license can't be read which means that you need to purchase the game digitally.

    Previously, you may have played the game through game pass or through game sharing.

    Transformer: fall of cybertron

    All Transformers game were delisted due to the licenses expiring. You would have to look around for it on disc.
    That sucks, I can't find it anywhere

    Bought disc (with DLC) after playing Game Pass version. Won't install game from disc and thus won't recognize DLC (DLC is installed).

    How do I get rid of the game pass version (Fallout New Vegas, if it matters) so that I can play from disc and access the DLC? The DLC is installed, but game shows "Game Pass" on launch screen and only sends me to store for DLC.

    DLC is on disc 2, so by rebooting xbox and putting in disc 2 I was able to install DLC. I just can't access it. :(
    Because of how Xbox Game Pass works, you have to reinstall the game due to the licensing trying to use the Game Pass version which acts as the definitive version.

    Go to My Games & Apps, highlight Fallout New Vegas, press menu (the button with 3 lines) and go to Manage game & add-ons.

    Once you are at this screen, highlight Fallout New Vegas again, and press Menu once again, the select Uninstall. This will uninstall the game pass version and you will be able to install from a disc once you do this process. Your DLC will be safe.

    Have fun with your game!
