Downloading Games Issues on Xbox 360 console

So, here we are, 2022, myself just like many, many other people still love to play on our beautiful Xbox 360 console...However there still seems to be this issue with downloading games from Xbox Live, one prevalent issue which seems to have started around 2018 and still remains to this day along with others.

Listing out the issues I've encountered while downloading games on my 360 console:

The issue which seems to have started in 2018 and still remains today, the constant restarting of downloads, games get to 80% and then just restarts from 0% continuously.

Game downloads keep failing, they just constantly show up in the storage as a corrupted game

This only seems to be occurring for specific games:

Crackdown2

Assassins Creed Rogue

Army of Two (can't remember which one exactly)

DeBlob 2

Saints Row 2

Saints Row Gat Out of Hell

Fable Annivesary

Halo Reach

Lost Planet 2

I've gone through every possible solution I could:

Cleared the storage cache

Deleted the incomplete file from the storage device

Deleted the Marketplace data

Restarted the system

Tried downloading to main Xbox360 hard drive as well as two other external hard drives

Tried a different Xbox 360 console

Re-downloaded my profile

Other games on my account were able to download perfectly fine (in-between this issue I downloaded some Mickey Mouse game, Injustice, Saints Row the Third, Port Royale and some other games)

Are there any fixes for this or is this just deliberate errors because Xbox wants you to buy newer systems... to further add, all these games were free on Games with Gold and they download just fine on my other Xbox One systems yet refuse to download on the Xbox 360 console...

Anyone still having these issues...even more specifically, with these specific games?

Try the offline update using a PC and a USB stick please

Yes that would be the issue

HALO GAMES are confirmed to be region locked

Just because you download some games doesn't mean all are region free

FYI xbox one games are not region locked

And the region error may not show up every time it sometimes shows as incomplete this is why you should always use your actual region

ngocphi

OK since 90% of the time it's to do with your region

What I'd your physical region and what is your account region

And yes most of those games are region locked

I have tried your suggestion Jesse, though I'm on a wired connection, still no success in downloading these games, They remain in download loop

The downloading to 80% and resetting was a well know problem with region locked games on the 360. If your account region, payment region, and actual location didn't match up, this is what would happen. My guess is that this is still the case and you would not be able to complete those downloads until the regions are matched up.
