Dirt3 Not Always Loading on Xbox One X

Hello there @, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support. I want you not to worry about the situation because I am here to help you out! I believe your console might need either a network reset or just a system refresh. I would like you to go through the following steps to clear the Mac address and then perform a quick power cycle on your console:

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.

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 2 to 3 minutes, re-plug them back again, then restart your console.

The next step would be to check your NAT type. I would like you to check your NAT type if open because that could sometimes interfere. to check for the NAT type you can follow the steps below:

Settings > Network Settings > NAT type => It should be open.

If the NAT type is not open, you will need to open some ports with your internet provider. These ports must be open for Xbox Live to work: Port 88 (UDP) Port 3074 (UDP and TCP) Port 53 (UDP and TCP) Port 80 (TCP) Port 500 (UDP) Port 3544 (UDP) Port 4500 (UDP).

If needed or if it’s dirty or scratched, wipe the disc with a soft, clean, slightly damp cloth. Hold the disc by the edges without touching the top or bottom faces, then re-insert it and try launching again

Another thing you should troubleshoot is your persistent storage by selecting Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections, and then selecting either Blu-ray and then select Persistent storage to clear it.

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!

I will look at what you are suggesting re Network Settings but does that fit in with an intermittent fault that only happens with Dirt3?

I did do a full reset last week but the problem happened again last night. It is intermittent and only happens say once in every 30 or 40 resumes of Dirt 3. Seems odd to me. Would it be a console fault?

Would the issue be to do with loading the Xbox 360 compatibility programme. It is very intermittent so not sure how serious it is. Anybody out there familiar with how the hardware/software interface works when you load a 360 game onto a Xbox One?

oo-la-la DIRT3 will be amaizing online cant wait

ps

weres the DIRT3 forum?? can find FORZA4 and GOW3 but no DIRT3

Zen like calm made a point. Id rather have dirt3, but if u want both( like me) i would see dirt3 getting a price decrease sooner than la noire. Honestly, imo I think dirt3 will take longer to complete and has multiplayer, la noire looks pretty slow paced(
80% of the time) while dirt3 should have u on ur toes.....I'm not getting another game until I finish gta iv or its add ons.....(keep buying games without finishing them)..........
