    Game launches and stays on black screen indefinitely.


    After installing the DLC pack the game will not launch whatsoever. When the app is clicked on it will launch to a black screen only. Quitting the game and restarting the console doesn't seem to help. Likewise uninstalling and re installing the issue doesn't
    help either.

    :)

    Won't load game! Stuck loading/updating on the home page!

    I have a similar issue. For me when the game launches it either stays at a black screen or gets to a loading screen but never loads

    Xbox won't launch

    New to this so hoping its in the right place!? My xbox one suddenly does not want to boot.It either:-

    1. Stays on green xbox one screen, then goes blank.

    2. Comes on as black screen and stays that way.

    3. On the rare occurence that the home screen does come on, it wont let me launch anything. Everything attempts to launch but then jumps back to home screen.

    I've tried power cycle numerous times, no luck. I've also tried update via usb, but still no luck.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Physically unplugging the Xbox, waiting, then plugging in the Xbox corrected the issue.

    Cold war beta not launching.

    I just tried to launch it on my PC and it launched just fine. After it got past the "connecting to call of duty servers" screen, it sent me to the terms and conditions screen then just goes black with a little loading square. Stays like that and will not
    load.

    Internet explorer not working anymore!!

    I also have this problem.

    I receive the blue IE logo upon start up, but then the app loads indefinitely on a black screen with the spinning circle icon.
