Wasteland 3 on Game Pass : Saved games from PC to Xbox

I've been having troubles with Wasteland 3 from the xbox-gaming-pass two times already (the latter one just solved right now). The game from one day to the other started crashing at startup displaying a message regarding an error due to an update that has to be installed (but updating was grayed out in the xbox-app, and microsoft store did not see the game at all). What works for me is searching the game in the Microsoft Store and then not clicking the game-pass version, but rather the one from the store itself. It then starts downloading the update (actually it says that it's 'installing the game' above the progress bar, but the download size of ~3GB vs >20GB of the initial install through the xbox-app seems more like this missing 'update' to me). I hope this works for other games too, at least it's a trigger for Wasteland 3 on xbox/game-pass.

Hi BA T0W3R5,

I'm sorry to hear about this save issue with these two games. In it's current state, the Xbox (Beta) app for PC doesn't give you a choice on what drive to save the progress or game to. From what I've seen, games installed from the app or available
to download from the Microsoft Store through the Xbox Game Pass for PC subscription are under the same program interface so it seems everything saves under the default drive that the OS is saved on and it does not allow permissions to configure the files.

I recommend using the built-in feedback tool within the Xbox (Beta) app to help us better understand the issue you are facing. Just click on your profile photo and select “Feedback” from the dropdown menu to open Feedback Hub. Feedback Hub enables
you to provide feedback about Windows and apps by sharing your suggestions or problems.

Thanks for the reply

I don't care where the game installs - the save files normally save to a different location by default (My Documents) - they don't and this appears to be causing games issues (2 out of 3 I have tried)

I tried to give Feedback - and the app failed to register it

Not a great start

Hello Mateusrosa1,

Thank you for reaching to us about this issue!

According to the inXile support site, it looks like this issue has been traced to antivirus programs preventing the game from saving. They suggest whitelisting/allowing your game through your antivirus.

I've been playing Wasteland 3 for a week now on the Xbox app with a Game pass subscription. No problems installing. I haven't installed Halo yet to try
