    Cold War update not doing anything.


    It was downloading fine until it got to 100% on "finishing things up", and I can't play it. It's been like this for an hour. Is there a way to get this thing to finish updating?!?!?

    :)

    Cold War update not doing anything.

    Hello @Twi Twi! I hope that you are doing well!

    Thank you for reaching out to us here on the forums regarding this situation. We understand that you are currently facing game installation issues. But don't worry, I'm here to help.

    Would you please try the following steps to free some space on your console and fix the game issues:


    Step 1:
    Clear 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.


    Step 2:
    Close or suspend any running game:

    1. On the Home screen, navigate to your most recently run game.
    2. With the game highlighted, press the Menu button and select Quit.
    Step 3: Reset while keeping games and apps:

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    2. Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info > Reset console.
    3. On the confirmation dialog, choose Reset and keep my games & apps.
    4. In your games list, select your partially installed game to open its detail page in the Microsoft Store. Complete the installation by selecting Install.
    As an alternative to resetting your Xbox, you could delete and reinstall your game. Depending on the size of the game, this could take longer than resetting.

    Step 4: Delete and reinstall the game:

    1. From the Home screen, select My games & apps > Games.
    2. Select the game, press the Menu button , and select Uninstall > Uninstall all.
    3. Go to the Ready to install tab, find the game, and reinstall it.
    Step 5 : Check your console's network connection:

    If the previous solutions didn't resolve the problem, see what your console’s download speed is in comparison with your subscription plan from your internet service provider (ISP). First, pause any running or queued downloads:

    1. On the Home screen, open My games & apps > See all > Manage.
    2. Select Queue and highlight any games or apps that are downloading or are queued to download.
    3. Press the Menu button on your controller, and then select Pause installation for each game or app that's downloading or queued.
    Next, close any games that are running on your system:

    1. On the Home screen, navigate to your most recently run game.
    2. With the game highlighted, press the Menu button and select Quit.
    Now, run a network speed test:

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    2. Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings.
    3. Select Test network connection.
    I hope this helps you out! wish you a lovely day!

    Kind Regards

    Stay safe, and happy gaming!

    My Call Of Duty Cold War game won’t install.

    I got the same problem right now. Trying out Microsoft's solution. Will update.

    I had warzone on Xbox series x. Deleted it and bought cold war on disc. Can't install anything. So I'm doing the advice from Microsoft but maybe warzone interferes with cold war because it was a "freestanding" part of the game and now i somehow got both?
