Try again in a while

I'm trying to play Red Dead Redemption 2. It's a (as of right now) entirely singleplayer game that should not require internet service. So why am I getting a message that reads: "Try again in a while. Sorry, it looks like our service isn't working right.
To check Xbox live service status, go to Xbox One Support | Xbox 360 Support | Xbox Live and Billing Support." I bought and downloaded this game. There shouldn't be anything preventing me from accessing my single player content. Especially when all other online functionality (particularly the store)
seems to be working just fine.

Try again in a while?

Hi there NoGuacGustavo,

Are you seeing this error message when trying to play online or when signing into your account? When you check your

detailed network statistics do you see a solid connection there?

Thank you!

Hi kulajw,

Thanks for posting, has this hard drive been used to store Xbox One games before? You may want to make sure the filesystem is set up properly and a format has been completed on the hard drive before transferring games. Here's how to do so:

Let us know how this goes, thanks again.

 

If its a digital version theres currently issues that MS is investigating. While the game is single player the console still has to “phone home” to verify ownership of the game.

 

There is currently a service alert up affecting the ability to play digitally downloaded games but Xbox is aware and working to fix it
Xbox Live Service Status | Xbox Live Service Outage

 

I don't understand how the selection process works on this. My roommate is sitting in the living room happily playing his downloaded copy on the same network I'm using. Is it just an issue that happens at complete random? Is this something that can happen
at any time to any of the games I spent my money on? I may as well stop purchasing from the Xbox Store if they can just pull ownership at any time for a product I paid for.

 

Incredibly annoying since i paid rightfully for the game and it's singleplayer. I tried starting up a disc game and it works. But none of my digital games work. Yet others on my friend's list are playing Red Dead Redemption 2 just fine and i know theu
own digital copies.

 

Currently having this issue with every game i try to play. Very frustrsting

 

Its pathetic. I dont get much time to play games, with kids and wife. When I do get a couple hours and this inconvenience??? Why?? All we’ll get is a simple apology but that’s just not good enough

 

Having this same issue. Im getting fed up with MS always having issues. When is it going to be fixed is what i wanna know or am i going to get some kind of reimbursement

 

No joke if im paying $60 a year or really paying at all to play online i expect it ran correctly. If i wanted to play for free with constant issues id buy a playstation. I just wanna play some blackout fix this[Mod Removed – Profanity].microsoft

 

I agree this is [Mod Removed – Profanity]. im in a party with my friends who are playing their games just fine but here I am not able to play jack

 

Seriously get little free time to play rdr2 and this [Mod Removed – Profanity].happens? Come on microsoft

 

Exactly. I get a limited window to enjoy it and its down! What a waste of money

 

This is really frustrating. Continuously getting one or the other issue from past few days.... guess time to move to Playstation.
