  1. New Console Trying To Play Offline


    I'm a novice when it comes to Xbox. Since I live in the Microsoft ecosystem (Office, Widows Tablet, Windows Laptop, Windows Phone, and Xbox Music) I thought I should just the One. Where I live I don't have high-speed internet. I have to use my hotspot on
    my phone. I understood going into it I would have to do the initial update and then I should be able to play offline. After two attempts I downloaded the 760 MB file and was able to complete the initial installation.

    My first game I bought was Titanfall. I bought the disc so I wouldn't have to use my data connection. I install the game to my hard drive and now it says I have to update the game before I can even use it. Is this true for all games? I'm not going to download
    a 1.3 GB file for an update to play the game.

    This hasn't been the best experience getting started. I saw something about a offline tool. When I did the initial update didn't I install this? Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks for any advice you can give me.

    :)

    So my question deals with the online thingy.

    You can play it offline, the console may need an initial update to play some of the newer games offline andvobviously you can't play anything related to multilayer.

    New Console Trying To Play Offline

    Hey there,

    The main problem you will have with Titanfall is that it is a multiplayer-only game, meaning there is no single player and that to play it you will need a Gold membership and an active Internet connection, so unfortunately you would find yourself, at best,
    struggling to play this or, at worst, completely unable to. That could also be why this particular game will force to update, as everyone who plays online would need to be on the same version in order to work best.

    As you are not able to constantly be connected (and seem to be Silver), I would suggest that you pick up another game instead as you will not be able to play this one offline; another one to avoid as it is multiplayer-only is Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare.

    Maxen is right here, you can play most games offline but those two you're going to have issues with as they are solely online games. You can keep the system up to date using the OSUDT (Offline System Update Diagnostic Tool) from the support site here, which
    is what I think you're referring to, but that is going to require a major download and then a manual install on the system. I believe the current OSUDT file is zipped and still about 1.8GB. I don't know if it's possible where you're at, but you may want
    to look at getting high speed ran to your home if possible. If not though, you should be safe to play just about any other game they have right now.

    [quote user="BruskNumber9"]if i download an xbox live arcade game (trials hd) then go somewhere with no internet access can i still play the game offline?[/quote]

    Answering a different way: yes, you can play an Arcade game offline if you are playing it on the console you first downloaded it on. (If you buy a new console, be sure to do a License Transfer to get your previous console licenses transferred to your
    new console for offline play.)

    Mass Effect DLC on 360

    Did you buy the game and DLC just recently, or did you buy the DLC and game in the past, and in the mean time got a different/new Xbox 360 and try to download the game again on this new console?

    If you re-download a previous purchase on a different console, you need an active internet connection to play the DLC.

    Or if you wish to play it offline, you need to do a license transfer to the new console and re-download the game/DLC again. If you have the game still stored on your storage device, the console will just download a new license file instead of the whole game.
    After you updated the license, you should be able to play the game and DLC offline.

    Unfortunately, the support page explaining how to do the license transfer is broken. So try it this way: Sign in with your account on your console, make sure the console is connected online, and go to the settings hub on the far right. Then go to the account
    tile, and scroll through the available options. You should somewhere find there the option to do a license transfer.

    Follow the instructions, and after you did the license transfer to this console, make sure you re-download your games and DLC that don't work offline on that console.

    Then try to play the DLC offline.

    Installing games issue?

    The new call of Duty? My only guess is because you got it early, the console is looking for the update which it can't get because the International release date is 3 November with Europe on 4 November.

    Try taking your console offline and install from there. You should be able to play the single player in offline.
