PC - Game Pass- Wreckfest won't launch, screen is black and won't respond

Brady Bergman · Feb 8, 2023

So I got the gamepass and have been playing wreckfest, I played last night no issues but when I tried to play today the screen would just be black and when I clicked anything it would say that the program wasn't responding. I would eventually have to close it and when I it says that the data we have in the cloud is different from the data on this device and it gives me the option to use either data, but no matter which one I choose it still won't launch. I updated windows, my drivers, and restarted, but nothing has worked so far. If anyone has had a similar issue, any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi Brady! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

It looks like the game's data is corrupted somehow. Does it only occur to this game in particular? Your other games are fine?

Let's try to verify and repair its game files.
Open the Xbox app for Windows.
In My Library, select the game title.
Select the More options (…) button and choose Manage.
Select Files and then Verify and repair.

If the same issue occurs, try to repair and reset the game by going to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Find the game > Advanced options > Repair or Reset.

Hi nye050,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums! We are sorry to hear about your issue. May I ask if you are using any 3rd party software on your laptop that may be blocking the loading of games? Something such as RazerCortex or a similar optimization app may be the cause of your issue.

I've notice when you launch a game from game pass that you don't own at the bottom right hand corner of the screen a white square with the words game pass in the middle of it will show up. But if you launch a game you do own that is on game pass it won't
show up. This is a rare problem. I remember reading about it months ago.
