PC GamePass and Mechwarrior 5

Sek Triome · Sep 27, 2022

I'm trying to play MechWarrior 5, and and getting stuck on the launch screen. It's constantly "signing in." Gamepass isn't asking for the permissions like it usually does when I start up a new game. It's not doing this with any other game. I've tried rebooting, repairing, and un/reinstalling.

Hello!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Sek, let's do some tests

Tell me what appears in this test please. Download the companion xbox console app > settings > network > NAT type

And connectivity

Do you have antivirus, vpn or firewall?

If so, disable them and see if the error persists.

Let's try this IP and cache cleanup, please

Type CMD in the search bar;

Right-click on the Command Prompt option;

Click on the Run as Administrator option;

From the Command Prompt screen, execute the commands described below, pressing Enter at the end of each line:

ipconfig /release <Enter>

ipconfig /renew <Enter>

ipconfig /flushdns <Enter>

ipconfig /registerdns <Enter>

nbtstat -rr <Enter>

netsh int ip reset all <Enter>

netsh winsock reset <Enter>

These commands are for resetting IP configuration and network-related caches that may be stored on your computer.

1.On the desktop, press the Windows + R keys simultaneously to open Run;

2. At run type cleanmgr and click OK to open Disk Cleanup;

3. In the Disk Cleanup window, select the C: drive (if asked) and click OK;

4. In the Disk Cleanup for Windows 10 window, select the checkboxes for the files shown and click Cleanup System Files.

5. After cleaning, check the checkboxes that are not checked again and click OK>Delete Files.

I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your time, Dérek! I did try your troubleshooting tips, with no luck.

Side note: I've called Xbox support, and after getting hung up on (with no callback after providing my number 3 times), I decided to resolve the issue by buying it through Epic Games. Worked like a charm.

Dérek Augusto

I understand, Sek.

I'm glad everything worked out for you, and I'm sorry that we weren't able to solve your problem initially.

But I appreciate your feedback, and your education.

Mechwarrior 5 will not play on my Xbox ONEX

Last thing I remember seeing as proof of a
Mechwarrior game and it looked like it was really far along in development, but that was in 2009 and I haven't seen anything else about it since. Also if you want your Mechwarrior fix Mechwarrior 4 and Mercenaries have been officially free to download and
play for quite some time on the PC.
