Halo Wars 2 not installing from Gamepass for the quest

MDH Born · Nov 11, 2021

Hi there,

So it seems all the games have installed overnight for the gamepass rewards apart from Halo Wars 2. I actually own the game but had it uninstalled for some time and have yet to play it. I have been trying to let it install for the past 4 hours and it just stops. I have an message pop up when i click on it that says the item you are trying to use appears to be corrupt. Try uninstalling it then reinstalling it. I have cleared local game saves and that has had no affect. Is anybody able to help me with this?

:)

Please provide more information, what device is this on? Are you installing to an internal or external drive?

If the technical staff is looking, I also cannot play blitz through X cloud to complete the quest. It just gives me a non-specific network error

It gets a bit complicated. If you have Gamepass then all should instal. The console will allow you to have Halo 5: Guardian, Halo Wars 2, Halo Wars De, Halo Spartan Assault and Halo MCC installed. The PC allows Halo CE, Halo, Halo Forge, Halo Wars 2,
Halo Wars DE, Halo Wars Spartan Assault, Halo Wars Spartan Strike and Halo MCC to be installed.

As for paying vs. free, the Microsoft Store should handle that. It might need resetting using a cmd prompt at admin level of wsreset. It takes a bit.

I have had to uninstall and redownload MCC to get it to capture all, but it works!

Let us know if you still have problems!

Do a search for just Halo Wars 2. In the results it should show "Halo Wars 2: Demo, Halo Wars 2, Halo Wars 2: Standard Edition" Try clicking the one in the middle and see if that one will start the install for you. I noticed if I choose the standard edition
it wants to install on the console.

I picked up Xbox One X in Sep'18 and I am enjoying Halo MCC with Gamepass. I had played Halo 1 and Halo 2 way back on my PC. Other is Gear of War Series, I completed Gears of War 4 on PC and now I was able to complete the series via Gamepass.
