  1. Running a digital game in offline mode


    Hi guys,

    I recently played Fable II in game pass on my Xbox One S.

    I wanted to abuse an exploit in the game in which you change the system time to generate more money (set it to a future time and the game believes that amount of time has passed).

    Unfortunately, you can't open the game in offline mode with game pass - which is fair enough. And offline mode is required to change the system time.

    So I bought the game purely to use this exploit... But I still can't run the game in offline mode. This isn't the case with other digital games.

    I have tried everything - uninstalling and clearing the local save file cache, then installing the game on a *different* account (as this is my "Home" Xbox), then restarting. I've reinstalled the game 3-4 times now and restarted probably 12+ times trying to do this in slightly different ways.

    Funnily enough, the game runs in offline mode on the new account, but the old account still thinks it's running using gamepass no matter what I do. I get an error 0x803f900a every time while trying to load the game on my primary account.

    Does anyone have any thoughts around this? Do I just need to replay the game in my secondary account in offline mode? Can I transfer the save from my primary to my secondary account?

    Or is there some game pass cache setting I can reset? Please share any thoughts (other than that it's a waste of time because I'm already well aware of the amount of time I've wasted just to use this particular function of date control... Not to mention buying a game I already had for free just to do it...)

    :)

    I suspected it might be something along these lines. Would factory resetting the Xbox fix the issue or is it account related?

    I would much prefer to play on my regular account and not start from scratch but the game is kinda not worth the $24 I just paid without the exploit lol

    If I raise a support ticket, can Xbox support fix it?

    as you have a game pass sub then that licence supersedes your purchased licence whilst subbed, yes it is a royal pain.

    which is why when you start some owned games that are also in game pass sometimes show the game pass logo as you boot the game.

    Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community.

    We appreciate your coming to the Xbox community and we're sorry you're having this issue. What could be causing this issue would be if you don't already have your console set to home, however you already have it configured that way.

    I believe this is because you are a Game Pass subscriber, so even if you purchased the game, the license that apparently is recognized is for the game pass, so you can't start the game offline because you can't play game pass games offline.

    Therefore, as long as you are a subscriber to the service, you will probably not be able to read the purchased license, as on another account the game works normally offline.

    *Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

    Thanks guys, I've requested a refund for the game purchase since I don't want to use another account and can't play games I own that are also in Gamepass while in offline mode until my Gamepass subscription lapses.

    Just seems kind of stupid, but it is what it is apparently. 🤦‍♂️

    Someone lock this. Hopefully it helps someone else...

    You cant have your offline saves on online and you cant have online saves on offline mode . this game have 2 modes off line mode and online mode if you want to play single player campaign online you need to start a new game . I would recommend finish
    the singale player campaign in offline mode . this game has a good off line features to it . you can try the offline local multiplayer mode set the game in bot mode its fun . do you have disc version of the game or the digital version of the game.
    if you have the disc version you can uninstall it offline and you dont have to update it with digital the version you cant uninstall it offline my xbox one s is on offline mode because slow internet.
