The Outer World - Installation error. Xbox Beta

Ionium · Nov 21, 2019

Have been playing this game since the preorder with various crashes and freezes now with the new update it refuses to run at all even after reinstalling it. Does anyone have a fix for me or suggestions pretty please with sugar on top?

Hello Ionium,

Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand having issues playing a game? DO you get any errors or messages when trying to play? Do you own the game or playing from game pass? Any additional information will help us to better assist you.

Thanks,

Brad

Thx for reply,

i have powered off the pc completly and powered on again.

Same failure - after starting xbox (beta) i see the 2 installed games. when i try to press the green start button for the outer world nothing happens - really nothing (no error, no warning, even in windows-loggings nothing is shown)

I think a few others are having the same problem when installing The Outer Worlds, maybe try to re-install it?

Just wanted to say that I am having the exact same issue. Also with Outer Worlds. I have not found a solution yet. My experience was the following.

I had been playing Outer worlds for a few weeks without issue. About a week ago it suddenly refused to open. The other game I had installed, Age of Empires II, also would not open (previously it did open). I then uninstalled both games.

When trying to reinstall Outer Worlds the download refused to work. It simply does not start the download. No error message is displayed. The UI changes to the progress bar but then back to the install button immediately.

I then reinstalled the xbox game pass application. The Outer Worlds download still did not work.

I then tried to download Subnautica. This worked and is playable.

But I downloaded the gamepass for Outer Worlds so...

Hey , thank for your inputs.

The good news :The Windows Store didn't stop working after I clicked "Install" for The Outer World

The bad news: The download is not starting. "Something bad happen on our end. Sorry".

Don't know where to go from there. Thanks again!

Oh no

Okay, but progress is progress!

Next Idea:

- Download the
Xbox App (Beta) - if possible

- Login and click on the "The Outer World" Banner and try install it from there

Maybe that gets us further (or gets us an errorcode we can work with)
