Certain game installs stop at 0%

Daniel Lago19 · Apr 13, 2021

Ive been trying to intall call of duty modern warfare remastered, disc, and whenever the install starts it shows 0% then immediatly stops. This isnt an issue with the disc, its in perfect shape. I’ve also already installed this game before but deleted it and now that I’m trying it again it won’t work. This also is happening with Madden 21, digital. I had madden installed but then it deleted itself after a failed update, so now I’m trying to redownload and its having the same issue. Ive had this issue with madden before but all i had to do was clear my local saved games and change my install location from my external drive to the internal. I’ve tried both of those methods to try and solve my issue with these games and neither worked. I’ve also reset my console at least 10 times, factory reset and kept the games and apps, cleared local saved games, none of them worked. I was on the phone with microsoft support for 2 hours trying to get help and i got none, the guy i was on the phone with said to expect a call from a higher up 2-3 hours after he hung up and I never got a call. All i want is to be able to play the games i own.

Hello @Daniel Lago19, I hope everything is going well for you!

I am very sorry to know you are having such conveniences. Please do not worry about the situation because I am here to help you out!

According to the explanation you have provided, I believe your console might need either a network reset or just a system refresh. Therefore, you will only need to follow those simple troubleshooting steps that I will provide you with and your issue should be fixed.

The following troubleshooting step will help you clear out your MAC address:

Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it and the console should restart. It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

Another step that you can try to resolve the issue, would be to remove and re-add your account. In order to do that please go to: settings> account> remove accounts> remove your account.

If this does not relove your issue please follow the next steps:

1- Go to settings

2- Select devices and connections

3- Select blu-ray

4- Choose persistent storage and clear it

If the issue still persists after going through the troubleshooting steps mentioned, I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 10-15 seconds plug all your cables back in and then restart your console.

You could also try this troubleshooting step to clear any corrupted data from your device:

1- Go to settings on your Xbox

2- Select system

3-Select storage

4- Clear local saved games and your console will automatically restart

Note: When doing this step please make sure that you always play online so that all your data is saved to the cloud

In case the issue still persists, the next step would be to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you to sign in to the account.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming

Hello i am trying to download 2 games Assassins Creed IV Black Flag and Assassin’s creed unity but they come up with installation stopped after about 5 minutes of downloading. The thing is it is only these two games.

Hi it may be your hard drive is corrupt I tried downloading games and it would stop when I tried to install a game and I found out I needed to clear the hard drive to make space for the install. If this doesn't help or etc then i suggest u call Microsoft
technical Help and depending what the result is they may have u send in the console because u may have a corrupt hard drive.

Hey there DomHodder,

Thanks for reaching out to the Forums for advice on how to deal with this issue being experienced while trying to download these two games. I can totally understand how this could be pretty disheartening after a bit, so let's see if we can help. I suggest
trying the steps outlined in our support page entitled Troubleshoot game or app installation
problems on Xbox One.

When you get the chance, give that a shot and let us know if that helped.

Thanks for reading!

I'm running into this same issue. I've probably downloaded 20 games before I started encountering it. MS Support had no useful ideas.
