  1. My game refuses to download


    So I've attempted to download Halo Infinite recently cause my friends want me to try some stuff on it, but no matter how much I try it refuses to download...

    1. Halo Infinite w/ Campaign is around 53GB, I have 1.4TB of space left so I have room for such download

    2. Everytime I attempt to download Halo Infinite, it seems it intentionally gets low download speed which in turn causes the installation to stop.

    3. In rare cases after attempted download it'll disappear from the queue and show up in my "Games" section like it was downloaded. But when selected it gives me this:
    "If you have the storage device or the disc, use that
    Otherwise, install Halo Infinite from Microsoft Store on Xbox One . (0x8007048f)"

    4. I attempted to download other games to see if it was just a internet speed problem but other games downloaded just fine, with acceptable download speed

    5. I've hard reset my Xbox One to see if that would fix said issue but to no avail

    6. I've also checked if there is any system updates that needed to be done, but my Xbox is completely up-to-date

    So yeah all in all I'm stumped on what I should do

    :)

    My game refuses to download

    Hello!

    My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

    Mate, you probably have an external hard drive.

    Remove it from the console, and install the game only on the internal HD.

    See if the error persists.

    If it continues, perform this test below

    Alright, let's try this here then

    Press and hold the power button on your Xbox for 10 seconds, wait for it to turn off. Unplug it. Now wait 1 minute before turning it on.

    Configuration>Network>Advanced Settings>DNS Settings>Manual>Primary 1.1.1.1 and Secondary 1.0.0.1

    Open the panel by pressing the Xbox button in the center of the controller.

    Scroll right on the panel to the System area.

    Select Settings.

    Select Network.

    Select Network Settings.

    Select NAT Test Type.

    Tell me what appears on this test, please

    I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

    Game refuses to download 100%

    Was trying to install it to my ExHDD because internal storage was full but i moved a game or two across to the external drive and tried downloading it straight to the internal storage instead. And it finally worked after all this time! Why is that? Every
    other game I've downloaded, whether its a game i just bought or something I've decided to re-download never had this trouble but this is the exception... Weird!
