    That's a pretty old thread , each of you should start your own as it may have different solutions...

    I can't get FIFA15 to start. Says it is taking too long. Error code 0x8027025a.

    Have hard rebooted and cleared cache about 15 times now with no success. EA support says it's a Microsoft issue. Anyone else encountered this? Any ideas on how to resolve?

    Latest update seems to have fixed this but now unable to play Forza 6 online. I can load game select online racing and vote for track select car but as soon the countdown finishes the load screen for the next race is as far as I get before disconnect message
    appears and I return to lobby.

    I have soft reset my console 3 times and today did a full reset and still no luck.

    Please help.

  6. Try doing a hard reset first. To do this hold the power button on the front of the console until it turns off then unplug from the outlet for 1 minute then plug back in and power back on. If that doesn't work do a factory reset. Go to settings, console and
    updates and choose factory reset. Be sure to choose the option to keep everything and your console will restart and you'll go through a quick set -up again. Once your back on the home screen your console should work normally again.

    Hi MaximumExtreme. I have done all of that several times. Even a full factory reset and download of all my games.

    Still same problem.

    I have a second Xbox one in the house (my sons) and you can hear the harddrive working when the room is quiet. My Xbox is very quiet compared to his.

    I think I have a hard drive issue and games are taking to long to load and I am being timed out of lobbies.

    Xbox support and preview team don't think so.

    I don't know what else to do. I am sure I need to return my Xbox for a repair but that does not seem to be an option?

    Every time I do a factory reset on my console I have to download my profile again.

    I still think others would be experiencing the same problem if it was a software fault.

    I have not been able to play NBA2k16 for about a month now because of this issue. I have the game downloaded to my machine and it won't ever start. I have tried everything that I can think of or that I have found online as a possible solution and none of
    it works. Very disappointed with XBox on this one.

    I'm having this problem with Madden 16. Reset my console about 10 times. Nothing happens. Infuriating.

    Hello caledoniaman,

    Have you tried reinstalling the game, and are you installing the game on the internal hard drive or do you have an external hard drive.

    Thank you

    Can you tell us which games? Some servers are having really bad issues right now, especially Activision. If it is non-COD games then it could be something with your network as Xbox Live is running pretty well right now.
