Unable to play games on Hard Drive

VaderzMyFather · Mar 2, 2015

Just got another Xbox 360 the other day and I re downloaded all of my account purchased games and content. Today my wife gets on her Live account to play one of my games and is unable to, she gets a pop up window saying "Unable to load game". When
I log into my Live account the game is playable. My question is, are the games that were purchased on my account only playable on my account or am I able to set it so others can play the games on there accounts? If I remember right, when my wife and I would
play on our last Xbox 360 she was able to play any and all games on the hard drive with no issues.

You need to do a licence transfer for other accounts to play your games, or for you to play offline.

You need to perform a license transfer.

After you have done a license transfer, you will have to download the games again. But as you already have them on the console, it will only take a few seconds for each one to download.

Did your hard drive come with the console or did you purchase it separately? Can you try any other Xbox original games to play in your Xbox 360? I ask because only official Microsoft hard drives have the emulation software needed to play Xbox original
games. If you purchased the hard drive separately, it may be a knock-off and unable to play original games. The ability to play original games pretty much comes down to the hard drive most times.
