    Can you provide more information? Which console are you using? Which version of Cold War? Have you tried logging out of your xbox and then re-log in, this will sometimes fix license issues.

    There is a known issue if you are trying to play the $60 version on a Series S|X. Playing that X1 version results in hard crashes. You'll need to upgrade ($10) to the x-gen version if you have not. It wasn't very upfront.. a lot of us, myself included, ran
    into this.

    All else fails, uninstall the game and go to your game library, and download it again from there, make sure it says you own it before downloading. The Series X|S version is 130GB.

    Game tells me to buy it even though I've already purchased it.

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    We need to validate first if the game is successfully purchased under the account that you're using. Kindly sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and let me know if you can see the order stated as "completed"?

    If not, please check all Microsoft accounts that you own to try and find the game transaction.

    Playing games i bought on my old xbox on my new xbox.

    no I only have my one account.. so thats not the case. (Mod Removed - Profanity) .

    This really cant be happening? IS it really that hard for the xbox to ujnderstand that I already own the games? **

    IF i check the order history online on computer, I can even see the date on each game, when I bought them.

    But still even if i uninstall each game, then when I go to store, and locate the game, and then it want me to buy the game all over again.. :/

    IT even tells me with battlefield v that I have a limited time to play the game in, like a timer on the game. EVEN though i already boiught the games...

    oh (Mod Removed - Profanity) this stresses me ...

    I own modern warfare with all the content installed and told to buy what I already own


    [​IMG]
    I owe this and installed and launched it to be told I don’t own it and need to buy the overpriced version even though I own the game and have access to the content it’s actually pretty stupid and asinine that it’s installed and running trying to tell me to purchase it again while using the itself to sell itself back even though I own it but apparently I own nothing yet I have everything available the void of logic and false advertising how can I own and install it and have to buy what’s already owned it’s pissing me off and I’m not compensated for my lose. Can’t eve. Get support to help without having them encourage me to spend 200 dollars on content packs and the game I already own yet again that’s just stupid and backwards as can be and highly has me suspicious of a scam cause google said this was a problem people was having and tutorials to fix it apparently but I don’t want a fix I want what’s mine and owed to me and the person on the phone kept telling me to buy the cross gen add on but it’s not telling me I need that it’s telling me to buy the game I have installed and own and running then she tells me to buy it using Microsoft and no way I have it already and can do everything but play it even though I own and have the rights to access it as it says so it’s self yet the person on the phone both sending the message to buy it and spend money. And it’s simple I already own it and it’s on my account if I didn’t own it why can I install something I supposedly don’t own like seriously I’m sick of this hide and seek and neglect and being told to buy something I own already and I m not getting what I own so I’m being stolen from I can’t own it and it actually own it as they keep trying to convince me I don’t own it like ffs I give up I heard it’s **** anyways but the fact I’m being a victim of whatever bs you call this scam and losing either way to buy it or own it but only can play the menus cause it’s trying to scam me by telling me to purchase what I own and running to receive the message is absurd and is trying to charge me for what I own and the support telling me to buy everything modern warfare 2 costing hundreds to get what’s mine already? A ransom for the game and content I own to own the same **** with bs micotransactions and the game and rights I already own and having a problem with the **** I own now but adding more copies will fix it? Ignoring the fact I OWN IT Already like I own it seriously why would I overpay for something I own already and revive nothing cause I have it already
