No Mans sky 'installation stopped' when trying to download

SRKirk · Jun 15, 2020

Hi there,

I downloaded no mans sky last week from game pass. It downloaded fine. However when I went to launch over the weekend. On the launch screen of game after a few seconds, my xbox crashed and restarted. Then when I went launch it again, stated I needed 7GB
update. So I decided to uninstall the game.

However, everytime since then, everytime I try to download it, I get a message comes up which states 'installation stopped' straight away and everytime press resume the same message will come up straight away.

I have tried holding the power button down for 10 seconds and unplugging the console. Also tried deleting all local saved games. However doesn't fix it.

All other games download with no problems at from gamepass.

I'm just having issues with no mans sky.

Is this known issue at the moment? Has anyone else experience this.

This is on a xbox one x

Hi there,

you might want to uninstall the game completely, so it's not present anymore in My Games section and not in the Queue.

After that Power cycle the console by holding the power button for at least 10 seconds wait for the console to become fully quiet and after that wait another 30 seconds before restarting the console again.

When the console has been booted again, please download something else first, when that completes try downloading/installing No Man's sky again.

Let it know when there are any results

Just an update, I carried out a soft factory reset and this fixed the issue. Manages to download it.

Thanks

I have tried the above and I am still unable to download no mans sky. As soon as I press download, I get the message installation stopped.
