Games Taking Too Long To Start And Other Issues

Phantasystar77 · Dec 11, 2019

Ok, like many others, I have the game took too long to start issue. I have tried power cycling, system restores, offline updates, internal and external hard drives, region changes, redownloading games, but still have issues with certain games. EA games seem
most affected with titles like Battlefront 2, the Battlefield games and so on. However other non EA games such as Metro Exodus, World of Tanks, and Forza Horizon 4 seem to be affected as well. Sometime they decide they want to boot up fine, but 90% of the
time they refuse. I have tried it on both my XBox One X, and my S. It worked fine on my S for a day or so, but after that it started giving me the errors. This tells me its not the actual system itself.

Next up is loading in some games takes forever. Ride 3 for example. The initial load screen is long as is taking a minute or more. However this same load screen takes around 5 minutes. Master Chief Collection used to work perfect, but since the last update
I am faced with similar long loads, and Halo Reach outright refuses to boot.

Finally certain games like to freeze up from 2-30 seconds if I happen to hit the guide button. So far I noticed COD WW2, and Warhammer Chaosbane doing it.

Anyone else having similar issues? I'm at the point I no longer feel safe buying anything on my XBox One since I have no clue if its going to work or not, or just simply start giving me issues. I've invested far too much into my XBox to give up on it and
I don't really want to, but unfortunately need to make all my purchases on my PS4 and Switch instead because of this.

I had done it on both systems and had the same issues. I did try the 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. and so far I haven't had many issues beyond World of Tanks. I think I may have to try redownloading it to see.

Yes I am, but took it off, had the same issues, then put it back in hopes an update would fix something. Plus, my S wasn't in the preview yet still gave me the issue.

Hi there,

just to be sure, are you participating in the Xbox Insiders program with your consoles?

If you are then be sure to report these issues via the Xbox Insider Hub app on the console and you may also want to check out the insiders reddit.

I've been having similar issues with games taking a long time to load.

What will happen is I'll turn on the xbox, log into my account, load up my game of choice, the splash screen will happen, music/sound will play, then it'll just stay at the title screen, or a blank screen. I'm not sure how long it'll go for as I usually
end up hard resetting the xbox (holding the power button for 10 seconds, letting it sit for 2 mins and turning it back on) and this works, but it's really annoying that I have to do this.

The games I've been playing on the xbox are: rocket league, hitman 2, the crew 2, rock band 4, and forza horizon 4, and it's happend to all these games at some point.

One of my friends says it has something to do with too much dlc being installed, mainly the rock band 4 dlc (I have alot, over 1000 songs from exports, imports, dlc) and that there may already be a fix in the works for this.

Other than that, the only other problem I've been getting is the record that feature disappearing after I stream.

So for example, I'll do a twitch stream in hitman 2. Then I switch to say rocket league, not streaming, but the record that option is gone when I press the xbox home button. I have to restart (not so much hard reset, just power down via controller, wait
a couple mins and power back on) to get it back. But the take screenshot feature is still there, so that's weird that only the video clip recording feature goes.

I'll try it. This is ridiculous though. I never have these issues on other platforms.
