Can't play recently downloaded games and demos

dajuggla069 · Jun 5, 2015

I recently had to clear my cache because I kept getting an error message while downloading an update. That worked for that problem, but now I'm getting error messages for all the game and demos I've downloaded since. I'm getting everything from "could not
launch game. Please download again" which i tried several times, to something along the lines of "content has move from its , to "this disc is unreadable , clean the disc with a soft cloth etc.." which i got for Costume Quest 2 (an XBLA game....) I've deleted
my profile, cleared my cache again, downloaded my profile, and still getting these messages. Help... I'm getting seriously frustrated!

Guitar hero/RockBand

First, I downloaded songs on Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock last year and have been playing those songs fine offline, then i recently downloaded one more song recently on the game and now i can't play it or any of my downloaded songs offline. Second, i downloaded
a game on RockBand the Beatles and i can't play it offline either.

I also get the "clean Disc" error from the Dragon Age Jaws of Hakkon DLC but only when I try to load that area

Install your game if it's on disc. If it's not, make sure you don't have any corrupted downloads on your HDD. For some reason unknown to me, the Xbox OS loves to freak out when there's an unfinished download on your drive. Because download managers is something
they've never heard of? :V

If that still doesn't work, try moving a game that you can replicate the issue with to a USB stick along with your profile. Take your HDD out. If it works then, then the issue may be that your HDD is starting to fail...which is not good. So yeah.

Did most of that already. It's all downloaded content. Nothing on disc. I have the 250gig slim so my HDD is internal... I tried moving those games to a USB drive and got and error, but in my rage I forgot to transfer my profile as well. I'll give that a
shot now. All previous Dl'd games before that update incident work fine.

Tried moving them along with my profile. Profile moved no problem, yet games got the message "Cant perform action. There was a problem performing that action." Could it have something to do with the Preview Program?

Seeing that you are in the preview program and the issue could come from there, you might try posting your issue in the preview forum. forums.xbox.com/.../default.aspx

Good luck.

why do you want to download the demo when you got the game in your recent played games

Daft Badger

Can't see the game on your games played list.Are you sure you didn't just download the demo,which is free?

It's possible that these publishers have changed their stance on region locking, or the games have been region locked recently. Usually when you get this sort of "Can't download game" error and you can download other content just fine (full games, demos,
applications) and not particular content then it's due to the region mismatch.

I haven't been able to join a random game for days. I never played the demo, so that can't be it. I haven't changed routers or service providers (I'm using ATT Uverse). I can join recent players who are playing, but can't join a quick match game.

Doritos crash course and DCC2, Harms way are free to play and also come with Achievements and many laughs if your playing VS your friends. Crackdown Demo is quite good, its an open world demo a bit like GTA it also gives you the option to use in game mods
to spawn cars etc, I can't remember if there's a timer for the demo but pretty sure there is not. Haven't downloaded Crackdown 2 demo so can't give you any info on that one.
