    PC GAME PASS - Some Games Won't Sign In


    For whatever reason... certain games, (Like Dragon Quest XI for example) will not launch. Upon trying to launch the game for the first time you are asked to "Please sign into an account" but nothing happens. The game just hard locks. Now... for other games? No problem it always pops up on the first time launching the game, let's you sign in with no issues.

    A customer shouldn't have to trouble shoot little annoying problems like this for a paid service.
    I personally have my suspicions that this is a failure on Microsoft's end and that it has nothing to do with an account issue at all. If it were an account issue then it would do it for "ALL" games not just "certain games"

    Now of course you can pay all these huge influences like Jacksepticeye (No offense Jack love ya) and pay all this money for all this other advertising, but yet, when I try to get help with PC GAME PASS issues from a live agent, I'm directed to some poor woman from the Phillipines who is getting underpaid... has poor equipment, has no idea what I'm talking about.

    So my question is this..... does anyone else agree with me here?
    Is Microsoft cutting corners and kinda just ignoring issues like this?

    Let me know what you think... and if there is an easy fix that doesn't involve several more hours of wasting my time I'd love to hear it.

    :)

    PC GAME PASS - Some Games Won't Sign In

    Hello Hydecka,

    I want to apologize for the late reply as I continued to investigate this issue affecting many other players. I am also sorry that the solutions I provided did not address the current problem with Dragon Quest 11. As I continued to look for a viable solution, I had a couple of gamers with the same issue, and I had them attempt this fix, and they were able to resolve the problem you were experiencing. I understand in just wanting to open your Xbox App and play versus having to troubleshoot an issue. Again, thank you for the feedback, and we will continue to work hard in resolving problems within Game Pass on PC. We want to continue to improve the experience and eliminate those pain points. Would you please let me know if the below solutions fixed your sign-in problem?

    Solution 1:

    1. Right-click on the Windows icon.

    2. Select Command Prompt (Admin).

    3. In the User Account Control pop-up window, confirm your choice.

    4. In the new window, enter the following commands, pressing Enter after each:

    ipconfig / flushdns

    ipconfig / registerdns

    ipconfig / release

    ipconfig / renew

    netsh winsock reset

    Once you've finished, you can restart your machine, try to boot up the game, and verify that you can sign in.

    Solution 2:

    1. If you have another PC, install the game and boot it up on the new device.
    2. See if you can sign in and verify the game.
    3. Then go back to the original PC and see if that resolved the issue.
    I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as "Answered." Would you please let me know if this resolved your issue?

    PC GAME PASS - Some Games Won't Sign In

    Hi Hydecka,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox forums! I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with getting Dragon Quest 11 for PC to work. I understand your frustration in not playing your games and the time spent trying to resolve this issue. Let me provide you with a couple of solutions that are quick and that hopefully resolve this Xbox sign-in problem.

    Solution 1

    • Would you please click on this link and install this Get Xbox Identity Provider - Microsoft Store? It usually resolves issues with your PC connecting to Xbox Live to populate the Xbox Sign in that you need to do with most games on Game Pass.

    Solution 2

    • Open the Windows Store and then Search for Dragon Quest 11 or the Game you want to install and download from the Windows store. Once the install has finished, open the game and see if the Xbox sign-in page populates

    Solution 3

    • Locate the Xbox app and right-click on the icon
    • Select app setting
    • Then scroll down and reset the app; if that does not work, select the repair option.

    I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as “Answered.” Would you please let me know if this resolved your issue?

    Hi. I'm sorry for my impatience but I did all these steps and nothing happened.
    I'm not the only person whos' angry about this, you can read the reviews for the quote
    "Xbox Identify Provider" App and see for yourself. This is all nonsense. PC G AME PASS is just broken.

    Why can't you just fix it? It's obviously a problem on your end, not mine. My pc will run these games on steam with no problem!!!

    Xbox one Utimate game pass will it merge with my gaming PC

    Game Pass Ultimate includes Gold, Game Pass for Console, and Game Pass for PC. As long as you're signed into the same account on both the PC and Xbox, you would have Game Pass on both.

    You won't be able to access all Xbox games on the PC. Only games that are Play Anywhere or included in Game Pass for PC.

    i have forza 5 on xbox try to get it in pc it wont let me get it

    Hi,

    To play this game on PC you need to own the digital version or be signed up for Game Pass.

    If you have the game on disc you won't be able to play on PC for free.
