    I have tried the power cycling and cache clearing. I have even tried the factory reset. No matter what I try, they just won't install. They start and immediately stop. What can I do?

  2. Fallout New Vegas (Backwards Compatibility) HELPP?!?!

    Hey all,

    In order to access the DLC in the game you will need to install the game from Disc 2. So if you currently have installed from Disc 1, be sure to delete the game and then install again from Disc 2 for all of the DLC to be installed.

    Try those steps and see if they help out.

    Transferring DLC from one HDD to another

    Hopefully, I can properly explain this question. For my XB1, I have two external HDD. HDD 1 is filled up but HDD 2 is not and it is my default HDD. Both HDD are always plugged in at the same time. I have Injustice 2 installed on HDD 1 because I bought the
    game while I was still using HDD 1. When I buy a DLC for Injustice 2 from Xbox.com or Microsoft Store on the XB1, the DLC is automatically installed on HDD 2 even though the Injustice 2 is on HDD 1 because HDD 2 is my current default storage. Make sense. I
    would then to transfer the DLC from HDD 2 to HDD 1. Understand?

    Ok, so my questions are 1) Can I designate what storage to install a DLC prior to the start of installation? Or can the XB1 knows to just install the DLC in the same storage location as the main game? I think the answer is no because the XB1 have automatic
    download. The PS4 does not have automatic download, so can select where you want it. I think the only solution is that I have to keep changing the default storage on the XB1 prior to the start of installation. But that is annoying and sometimes hard. Again,
    because the download starts automatically. Can I turn off auto download? And just leave the item in my ready to install? Would that work for DLC too?

    2) Several of my games are in this situation where where the main game is on HDD 1 but several DLC are on HDD 2. Unfortunately, I do not know what games are like this nor do I want to go through all 287 games checking to see. Is there a way to transfer all
    DLC from HDD 2 to go with the main game on HDD 1? When I search the HDD 2, I can only see the DLC of games that are installed on HDD 2. But not the DLC of games not installed. For example, if FF15 is installed on HDD 2, I can see the DLC too on HDD 2. However,
    I can't see the DLC for Injustice 2 on HDD 2 when I search HDD 2 because Injustice 2 is not on HDD 2. The only way I can now the DLC is on HDD 2 is if I look at the manage content from the game. But that would require me having to check all 287 games. Which
    I do not want to do.

    Tl;dr question 1) can I individually designate a download/install spot for DLC without having to keep changing the default storage and 2) can I transfer DLC from one HDD to another without having to go into manage content on the game. Thanks.

    I have 2 dlc's from 2 different games that won't install. Why?

    Hi there,

    can you try cancelling the install for those two items, then perform a power cycle via Guide-Settings-Restart Console

    when the console has restarted download something else like a demo and after that try to install both DLC items again.

    Let us know the results

    Hi what are the DLC's for and where are you downloading them from? Directly from the console/store or are you using an external hard drive ?

    I am downloading them from the xbox store. I am using an external harddrive for my storage. One is for Saints Row 3, the other is for WWE 2k19.

    Hiya!

    Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to assist, it sounds like you're having an issue installing DLC for a couple games. What I recommend trying is installing them to your internal hard drive then transferring them over to the external. Please let us know
    how it goes.

    Happy Gaming!

    I've had success in the past by uninstalling the game and reinstalling it at which point my DLC seemed to install fine. Worth a shot all else fails.
