  1. Games uninstalling themselves....


    I had Dead Rising 3, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Forza 5 all installed. Last I played was Forza and that was about a week ago, but I use the Xbox on a daily basis for TV watching. When I went to load Forza today, it kept telling me that the game needed to
    be installed and I couldn't figure out why so I restarted my Xbox a couple time and even took the game disc out once, but nothing seem to help. I hit the menu button while on the Forza app and it basically had the option to cancel the install despite me never
    initiating one to begin with. There was no progress bar telling me that Forza was installing so after sometime waiting and not getting anywhere, I canceled the "install" that was currently happening, and began installing the game again. It was installing it
    from scratch. It was taking a very long time, maybe around 2 hours to install. Even after installing the game would keep crashing at a certain point during a race (an issue I had before with Forza and I had to begin to install and not touch my Xbox until it
    was finished to get around this issue), so I just deleted it and I am currently reinstalling the game. But I did notice that my other two games were also deleted.

    This is very frustrating when you buy a product that doesn't deliver on some of the basic features that it promises (whether this is an Xbox/Microsoft issue, or an issue with the game and its developer). Here's hoping that the upcoming system update will
    help fix some issues and not cause more!

    :)

  2. Games uninstalling themselves.

    Hey I'm not sure if this happens to anyone else but anytime I take my xbox one to a friend's house and connect to their Internet any game I play at their house seems to uninstall itself when I get home. I go to play it and I get a message saying the game
    needs an update and by that it means to reinstall the WHOLE game all over again. It wouldn't really be a problem but I have bad Internet and it takes up t 2-3 hours to reinstall games. This feature really makes me not want to bring my console to my friends
    house if it's going to be a hassle EVERYTIME. I was just wondering if anyone else has to deal with this major design flaw?

    Games keep uninstalling themselves

    Hello, so recently I reinstalled Black Ops 3 and then the game and all DLC uninstalled itself, I reinstalled it all again then BO3 and Battlefield 1 also uninstalled both games are on disc. I am part of the preview program, if that has anything to do with
    it.

    Hello CaTA4!

    Thanks for bringing this situation to our attention here on the forums. I recommend going into your settings. Under "System" select the option that says "Storage". From there you can view and transfer the contents of your external hard drive over to your
    internal drive!

    Hope this helps

    The new update is the reason why I was planning on playing. I don’t remember cancelling an update but maybe something else forced it to close down. Thank you for the reply :)
