[Feature Request] Verify Game Files

Father Berman · Jul 4, 2019

Hi, I would like to request a feature to verify the integrity of game and dlc files. I recently had to replace my external hard drive for my xbox one x, and while re-downloading all my games & apps I lost power. There were around 40 items left in the queue,
most of which were partially downloaded and paused (I had paused large downloads to try to lower the number of items in the queue more quickly), and when I turned my xbox back on, they all appeared to be fully downloaded but don't fully function. I don't know
which 40 games or add-ons were in the queue, and there was around 4 Tb of total downloads. I don't want to have to re-download a ton of stuff just to try to find the 40 incomplete files, so I am requesting a feature to verify game files on Xbox One. I've seen
several other posts on here and reddit requesting a similar function, but they didn't gain much traction so I figured I'd post too. Thank you.

I could see them doing this but it wouldn't be high up on their priority. How often do people download 40 items or so at the same time while also losing power. That seems rare to me.

I would love to see this added as a feature as well. It would be nice to be able to have the files verified if there is a problem then only what is needed to be downloaded to repair the issue instead of the full game. Especially with games commonly reaching
the 100+ GB range now.

It's fascinating idea, and i'm think what you should write it on xbox uservoice )

My specific situation is rare, but there are many others where it could be helpful, such as failed updates, left over add-ons, corrupted game data, etc. Its not super high priority but it would be incredibly nice to have for when you actually need it.

Hello Andreas Hartono,

Greetings!

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand how crucial it is to have a reliable way to verify game files, especially when dealing with slow download speeds and frequent outages. As of now, the Xbox App does not provide a built-in feature for verifying game files. Currently, not all titles on the Microsoft Store or Xbox App have a verify game files feature. However, some titles do have this feature available. As for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, it does not have a verify game files feature at this time.
