  1. Home Sharing Problems (Solutions?)


    This problem has happened to my brother and I a couple of times now, with no notice or "messing-with" from our end. Every so often, our games we share through Xbox Home Sharing resets, or kicks one of us out of the other person's games. Not to mention,
    the amount of times this error has happened to us has now stopped me from being able to fix it myself all together. This requires me to contact your team (either by a queue of 62 people waiting to speak with a live rep., or a virtual helper who doesn't have
    the means to fix what you need fixed) in order to reset the number of times to "enable Home Sharing. " (which is ridiculous to number from the start anyways but I digress).

    My brother has 1 Xbox Live account. I have my own. We decided to share our games but at times and for a few months it will work great. Me playing FIFA which he bought. Him playing NBA 2K which I bought. At times though, it will reset randomly, and will
    only allow us to play our owns (me on FIFA and him on 2K). With these errors are usually a pop-up error saying "Do you own this game?" when clearly my brother or I do and should be playing one another's games despite which games were bought on what console.
    Like how would I have achievements and progression if I didn't own it at one point Xbox ?

    Home Sharing needs it own Settings and menu Tab. If I click the Tab, a fully detailed display of who I'm currently gamesharing with, the games I've bought and am sharing, & the games HE's bought and is sharing with ME should be visible within the settings
    menu. It should never be a single button that gives me a little prompt saying its "good to go". Show me the Gamertag and info of the person I'm sharing with (in this case my little brother), Show me my games list (with options for selecting games to share
    with partner), & Show me THEIR GAMES (with options for downloading games selected to be shared by the partner). THIS WAY THERE IS NO CONFUSION TO WHO NEEDS TO CLICK WHAT, WHO IM SHARING WITH, OR WHAT GAMES IM ALLOWED TO PLAY!!!

    Tired of not being able to play games I've paid for. Find a better way of handling these digital downloads and let me have easier access to my friends/family's games if we've agreed to Home Share. Highly considering a law suit for paying for services/product
    and not being able to have access to them. Fix this Microsoft. Please.

    :)

    home xbox sharing problems

    If you are referring to making your Xbox your "Home" Xbox, you can only do it 3 times in a 1 year period.

    From support:

    You can change which console is your home Xbox up to three times during a one-year period. This period works on a rolling basis, starting the moment you change your home Xbox for the first time. For example, if you make your console your home
    Xbox for the first time on January 1st, and then change it two more times, on February 1st and March 1st, you will not be able to change it again until January 1st of the following year. The next time you'll be able to change it after that will be on the following
    February 1st, and then again on March 1st. Please make a note of the dates when you change your console to your home Xbox so that you'll know when you can change its designation again.


    When you change home consoles, all device licenses for digital content will move to your new home Xbox. These device licenses will no longer be available on your old "home" Xbox.

    Xbox home sharing problem

    Regardless to what you remember doing apparently the system thinks it has been done 3 times. If someone you share with removes it and then adds it back that also counts.

    You will have to contact support directly as they are the only ones that can reset that counter. Keep in mind since there is a 3 change per year limit they are not obligated to do it but definitely worth a try.

    Good Luck!
