Fallout 4 stops installation at 36% and won't continue downloading.

Sorry to hear it. Which country do you live in and is your gamertag set for the same country?

... and now although i have all 4 DLC's installed for Fallout 3 and had no issues previously when i try to load the game using 'Continue' i get the error message:-

'This save relies on content that is no longer present. Some objects may no longer be available. Continue Loading' ?

But if i click on downloads they are installed fine.

Erm... great !

Hi,

For issues with the download/install problem with Fallout 4 it sounds like there is something corrupt the drive or external storage (if you own an external drive). I'm not sure what that issue is as though. If other games install, but Fallout 4 won't either from disc or download, it won't be a hard drive issue. Do other games install okay?

Regardless of how you install a game, disc or digital the console always checks first if you have a digital license for the game. If this isn't found (it takes seconds) it will look for a disc. Digital downloads aren't locked to a specific account. You only need to own the game either digitally tied to your account or on disc.

So, if you have access to an external drive, you could take this to your friends console and either copy or download Fallout 4 to an external drive. Then insert this drive into your Xbox and use your disc to launch the game. This should work.

If you're having issues installing other games you may need to perform a console reset.

For any that have a similar issue in the future my answer came with resetting my console to factory settings. I chose the option of keeping my games and apps loaded, but deleted my personal information. Afterwards I was able to load the disc with no problem,
although I did choose to delay loading the latest game update until I was done with loading the game. I suspect that it might have tried updating the game at the same time it was loading the disc. I had it set for automatic updates previously.

I was going to suggest, try deleting the profile from the console and restart it and adding the same profile again to see if that would have worked.

What you suggested about restoring it to factory settings and turning off the automatic updates (or just going to settings and turning off automatic updates without doing a factory reset) is a good idea as well.

Sometimes, the console might just needed to have the cache cleared out of it as well.
