  1. Downloading from add-on disk


    Clearing system cache for Skyrim cased it to freeze in the "Loading add-ons" screen. I uninstalled them, and tried to reinstall and now Dragonborn won't install anywhere. Help?

    :)

    XB1 Full Game Digital Downloads

    I agree the digital downloads should be cheaper. It seems as though the opposite is taking place. All of the discounts seem to be on the physical disks. I have wondered if there have been sales problems with physical disks as more of us opt for the convenience of digital downloads. Why not offer discounts on the digital downloads to encourage people to give up on the disks and we can move away from disks completely? If it was $10-$15 cheaper for the downloads no one would care if you could resell the disk or not?

    GTA 5 - took about 8 hours to install on Xbox One (digital preorder)

    StevieGee911 there was a day one update to the game. They patched the game plus add a achievement and reduesed some GS on a few achievements. I hope clear up the update part. But the thing is. You never will stop the update from downloading at this time
    from a digital download. Only way is to stop from downloading the update. If you where doing it from disk.

    Dawnguard - Skyrim

    Are you going to the add-on through the Skyrim disk itself? If you start up the game with the disk then you should be able to play the add on. Sometimes when an add-on is downloaded it can be played through the "play now" button that appears next to it
    from the guide menu.

    Skyrim freezes during download

    Post it notes! and copy/paste. Saves time and frustration when dealing with bad data from a disk and long explanations.

    Also I might add that if you downloaded from MS, then your download is always available to re-download anytime. I'm sure you already know that.

    Game add-on, specifically Destiny: The Taken King will not install

    I tried this, but this console did not restart, it just turned off. Alternatively I power cycled the console manually by unplugging it from the wall as well, but that didn't work either.

    The problem seems to be with only Destiny TKK, as I downloaded other add-ons without trouble before and after I tried installing this one. I should also mention this is a digital download and not from a disk.

    When I try to download the add-on from the Store, it gives me the error code '0x87F00005'.

    2 systems

    There are several types of games involved here:

    1. Downloaded from the store

    - If your account is the account that originally downloaded the game, you should be able to download an use it on the second Xbox. Only the account used to download the content can use the content on the second Xbox.

    2. Activated from the disk.

    - You'll need to take the disks with you from Xbox to Xbox, or have a separate disk at each Xbox.

    3. Activated from disk and using down-loaded-content (DLC) add-on.

    - A combination of 1 & 2. Download the DLC on the second Xbox and carry disks or have a second copy.

    4. Installed from disk.

    - In my experience you still need to have the disk in the drive, even when you have installed the game. I do not see how transporting the HDD helps. I would handle this as in 2 (or 3) above.

    Notes:

    1. If the downloaded content was not downloaded with your account, you can only use it from the Xbox the content was originally downloaded on. The original downloader can transfer the licenses to the 2nd Xbox, but then you can't use the content on the
    original Xbox.

    2. To use your current saves via cloud, start your game, load your save, then resave it to the cloud. I believe some games do not allow you to switch save location from disk to cloud after the game has started, and this will not work.

    3. Before the cloud storage became available, I used a transfer cable to carry my saves between Xboxes. If this idea sounds like what you need, we can go into more detail.
