Playing Astroneer on xbox game pass

Dragorm335 · Apr 12, 2021

So I bought xbox game pass just 2 days ago. And started playing Astroneer. (it's not my first time buying the pass)
Me and my friends played astroneer for 2 days, and i kept my computer on for a day incase one of my friend wakes earlier than i do and would like to play, they could easily join the server.

Last night i closed my pc. And opened it today. Everything is fine with windows and other games aswell. When i launch Astroneer the game opens normally and everything seems fine. But, the game does not detect my keyboard movements. By that i mean i can not use keyboard in any time in the game. Mouse is fine. But I need to press W-A-S-D to walk. And i cannot do that with just mouse.
I tried rebinding some of the controls in the game. But, since the game does not detect when i press a button in the keyboard, i can't do that aswell.Alt+f4, ctrl+esc, alt+tab, ctrl+alt+delete these kinda things work. And sadly these are the only combinations that could work that i found so far.

I have tried unplugging and then plugging in my keyboard cable.

I have tried restarting my computer. And tried restarting xbox launcher aswell.

I couldn't find if there was a way to "verify game files" option just like in steam. If there is please guide me.And whoever has a solution to this please help.

The only was you can cross play Astroneer with a Xbox user while on PC is if the game was bought via the Microsoft/Xbox store or you have PC game pass. But double check before making the purchase to see if crossplay is compatible that way.

OP here but it seems like the savegame folders of Xbox Game Pass games are different. Astroneers doesn't have the usual savegame path too

Personally i played gta v prior to it being added to the game pass but i also play Forza Horizon 4, ive tried astroneer and a few others that i cant think of at the moment lol

I would say Realm Royale it's not a local co-op but its fun to play. Astroneer has co-op online it's in Game Pass. There's Riverbond it has local live co-op.

No worries, on that. Could you confirm that you've contacted the developer support for Astroneer as well and if you have if they have confirmed that the source of the issue is from our end or not just in case. And I presume that this is an issue only occuring with this game specifically, any other games you have downloaded run and work fine?

Also, I found a similar thread to the issue you're having here. Please let me know if it helps:
