    Getting "too long to start" errors.


    Happening right now with Dragon Age. Also happens with Halo Mcc and the beta.

    Already done a hard reset and unplugged the power for 10 minutes.

    Any help?

    These are on disc by the way not digital.

    Battlefield 4 "Taking too long to start"

    I recently obtained the Xbox One S and downloaded Battlefield 4 (BF4). I bought the game on the original Xbox One console and it would load everything and play just fine, no issues. After downloading on the new Xbox, BF4 does not load and gives me the
    error code: 0x8027025a). I still have the other Xbox and BF4 will now not load on it either. I have searched online and haven't found any solutions. The following are methods I have tried:

    1. Cannot "quit" the game because the game fails to run in the first place.

    2. Clear the cache ("Power cycle the Xbox")

    3. Uninstalled game, cleared caches, reinstalled game, clear cache.

    4. Tried starting the game in offline mode/signed out of profile.

    All methods have failed to work. All my other games load without issue, my internet connection is fine, and nothing on the BF4 Forums would indicate there is a current issue of others loading the game (I do see there were past issues, though).

    Are there any methods that I haven't tried that might work?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hey SilentVendetta7 -

    If neither power cycling nor uninstalling/reinstalling have worked, the next thing I would recommend trying is uninstalling the game and then

    factory resetting     your Xbox One console to see if that helps. You can keep your games and apps when you do this so don't worry about that.

    Let us know if that helps!

    Keep getting 'took too long to start' errors

    When it happens to me I quit the game, go to the store, look at many random game, then go back to my game and it then loads. Sometimes I have to do it twice. I never hard reset my console.

    Keep getting 'took too long to start' errors

    Do you have any game updates downloading when you get the "took too long to start" errors? That is usually what prevents me from starting a game on my external HDD until I go into the Queue and Pause all downloads.

    Good luck!

    Hey Dan!

    Thanks for the fast reply! Your method will also clear the cache, it is actually my go to since I'm into the more "hands on" approach. As far as how often you should clear the cache, I would suggest somewhere in the realm of once every 1-2 weeks. Hope this
    helps and make sure to let us know if you are able to get back into your gaming! :D

    Keep getting 'took too long to start' errors

    The Xbox One X and S have the same operating system, so don't worry about that. Is this an external drive or the internal drive? If it's external change the power management settings to not turn off power to storage when the system sleeps. Some
    external drives don't cope well with power state changes.
    This is the fix that i did

    Keep getting 'took too long to start' errors

    I would try to go to SETTINGS, then SYSTEM, then CONSOLE INFO and last CONSOLE RESET, pick option to KEEP ALL GAMES AND APPS, now console will restart, after the restart - do the SET UP and put power mode / option , set to ENERGY SAVING, now leave
    external drive unplugged from the console, and try and test and see if it works. After that plug external in , and now test again. See if any change
