  1. "Disc unreadable" error on downloaded games


    Ok I have tried everything that I have seen on the forums about this issue and nothing seems to solve the problem and it seems as though this problem has been happening to people since 2012 and Microsoft still hasn't fixed it yet? I for one believe that
    it is ridiculous that I can't play a game that I have spent my hard earned money on because Microsoft won't fix this issue.

    :)

  2. Downloaded game/Downloaded content

    A short while ago I downloaded 'Halo: Reach' from the marketplace. It worked fine for about two weeks, then it wouldn't load. "Can't start Halo: Reach" it would say. So I deleted it, cleared the cache and downloaded it again. Now, it will load the main
    menu but when I try to play any mode at all, it says "Disc unreadable." Note: There is no disc. This is also happening with my downloaded version of 'Oblivion'. Plays for about 10 minutes and says 'Disc unreadable.' THERE IS NO DISC!? Additionally, if I attempt
    to start one of the DLC missions for 'Mass Effect' (original) I get the disc unreadable message despite the fact that the disc for this installs and I can literally do everything on the disc. DLC works for every other game I own so this cannot simply be a
    HDD error. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

  6. How about a big F you to Microsoft for not helping me with my issue. I have tried 3 different memory devices and it gives me the same exact error every time. It is not the device it is clearly the console. And I swear if anyone tells me to get a new console
    to solve the problem im done. It would be nice to play a game that I bought a long time ago on the marketplace but you still haven't solved the issue. You gave me things to try and yes I have tried EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM and still haven't been able to play
    Forza Horizon. If you tell me to create another forum because this one is fairly old that is going to make me mad because I created this one last month and got one response and that's it.

    "Disc unreadable" error on downloaded games

    Sorry this thread must have slipped through my watch list somehow. As posted above and as stated in the link I posted if the steps do not work then you should contact phone support. The issue may indeed be with the console and would need to be repaired.

    Good luck.

    I don't know what's wrong!!!!!

    Edit* the error says the disc is unreadable. Even if there is no game in and it's the downloaded version

    Can't play downloaded game

    This is a game downloaded from Xbox Marketplace, not a disc.

    That's why I'm curious about the "Disc is Unreadable" error, when there isn't a disc involved.

    Hard Drive cause unreadable disc errors and other issues

    Same issue, I get the "disc is unreadable" error, but even with downloaded games that have no disc. The error appears after 3 loading screens with all of my games.

    Hey there ferment,

    Sorry to hear you're having an issue with Assassin's Creed 2.

    I'm having a little difficulty understanding what your exact issue is. It sounds like your AC2 had a disc unreadable error and isn't downloading.

    I would recommend trying the steps in our
    Games on Demand Disc Unreadable Error
    troubleshooter.

    Let us know how that goes and we'll work from there.
