  1. Game won't boot, gives offline error message even though I am online


    I'm trying to boot up Planet Coaster 2, a game I brought from the Microsoft Store. Yesterday it was working fine, however now when I try to boot it up, it gives the error:

    For this game, you need to be online

    Use this Xbox regularly? Make it your home Xbox so you can play games you own, even offline. Next time you're online, go to Settings > General > Personalisation > My home Xbox (0x803f9008)

    I am online. YouTube works. I have redownloaded Planet Coaster 2, with no luck. I have tried playing other games, they work. It is only Planet Coaster 2. Doritos Crash Course works, Descenders works, Halo Infinite works, For Honor works, Riders Republic works, it is only Planet Coaster 2 that doesn't. I'm not sure why.

    I've tried signing out and signing back in again. I've tried removing my account from my Xbox and adding it back. I've uninstalled Planet Coaster 2 and reinstalled it again. My Xbox updated on Saturday, there are no new updates.

    :)

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues playing Planet Coaster 2

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please make sure your Xbox profile is set as your home Xbox. To do this please go to Settings > General > Personalisation > My home Xbox and select Make this my home Xbox.

    And then do the power cycle by holding down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off the console, then unplugging it for a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on.

    Next is to ensure that your network connection is stable. Kindly restart your router or switching to a wired connection if you're using Wi-Fi.

    Then test your network connection, please go to settings> network> network settings> test network connection.

    The result should show up as "All good"

    After testing your network please launch your game and see if it works.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    I was booted offline by somebody

    How is even possible for someone or something to boot you offline? I can see out of their game in a specific game, but completely offline?

    Why would your ISP give a crap about you being booted offline from xbox live? How is that their problem?

    Can't update game, can't play it

    I am not given the option of declining the update. I have no connection problem, and although I disconnect from the internet I still get the "update failed" message.

    I figure I've gotta be missing something.

    I downloaded the game, no problem. But know matter how I try to run it, online, offline, different user, I get the update error and only the "ok" option.

    Not understanding why it won't play offline, or more precisely why the machine keeps "acting" online whether it is or not.

    I decline the message to connect, but it makes no difference.

    After trying everything else, I bought a new hard drive and I still get the same error message. Whether online or offline, the game still won't load. Is there anything else I can try?
