Issues Downloading Halo Wars DE

IronicHamburger · Apr 23, 2017

A while ago I purchased the Ultimate Edition of Halo Wars 2 and recently tried to download Halo Wars DE which came with the Ultimate Edition. However, I cannot download it and the Microsoft Store says I need to purchase Halo Wars DE again. Can anyone help?

:)

halo wars de

I purchased a digital copy of the halo wars 2 ultimate edition from Walmart. Everything downloaded except halo wars de. What do I need to do to activate it? HWDE showed up on my download que initially but disappeared after HW 2 finished downloading.

thank you for your time

Halo Wars DE removed from Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition Bundle

Hi, I own Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition, and it included Halo Wars DE, but yesterday when I launched Halo Wars DE, it popped out an error code 0x803F8001, so uninstalled it and try to download again, but turns out it removed from my library and when I check
my Ultimate Edition bundle, Halo Wars DE now cost me HKD $119.

I don't know what is happening.

halo wars 2 ultimate edition includes Halo wars DE. You should be able to find and download the game under ready to install on my games and apps on your xbox one!

On PC check the Halo app or the Download and install page on the store!

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!

Hello!

You are not alone with this issue. I have the same problem and posted about it here.

I still haven't got it, but it helps to know that it's a common problem.

As far as I understand it, we should have two versions of both Halo Wars 1 and 2, one for XBox One (the one not suppored on this device) and one for Windows.

For some reason, Halo Wars 2 is correctly activated for both platforms, but Halo Wars 1 is not.

Best,

M1Labbe
