    Stuck at "Press A to Start" Screen....


    Reddit and Twitter forums have posts regarding this increasingly common issue. Wondered if you guys were aware and had any information. I have a GOW Xbox One S with latest Preview Alpha build and game is installed on the local drive. No USB devices attached.
    Have tried resetting and complete power cycle. I also have a day one Xbox that I haven't tested the game on yet but will later today. Its just surprising that there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for why some systems cant play this game. Hopefully
    you guys are looking into it. I will update as I try various things.

    TLStuck at "Press A to Start" Screen.... :DR Tacoma won;t start on Xbox one s. Any fix?

    Thanks

    :)

    Forza 5 - Two player mode and skip intro?

    I am having a similar issue. I am unable to skip the intro video or even play forza 5 at the moment. I start the game...then it says press A to start...I press A and the video showing the cars starts...I press A and game takes me back to press A to start
    screen...I then press A and the video starts again.

    Even when nothing is pressed and the video ends, I am still taken to the press A to start screen. Stuck in an endless loop.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and the issue continues. Please help

    Stuck at "Press A to Start" Screen....

    got it working on preview build one s. Did 2 hard resets. Worked on 2nd. Still doesn't work on day 1 box. Both systems are preview alpha builds. Try full (hard) resetting a few times if you are stuck on Press A to Start screen.

    I'm having the same trouble with Tacoma on my Xbox One S... stuck on the Press A to start. This is after two hard resets and logging in and out of Xbox Live. I am on a preview build but not sure which one (system is fully updated).

    Preparing console... *FREEZES DURING UPDATE*

    If you're stuck in the green screen, after rebooting from a stuck preview update, try a cold reboot. Press the Xbox logo, so the Xbox switches off, then switch off power supply. Leave it for a few minutes, then start it up. It worked for me, but stayed on
    the green screen for about 10 minutes before finally starting proper. Hope that helps.

    Halo the master chief collection

    If it is not starting at all, all above solutions work fine

    If it is stuck on the main screen, when you press start, then you have to clear the cache and local saved data. Under my games and apps, press start on the game, click then on manage game and add ons. Now clear local saved data.
