  1. When will downloaded games be playable again?


    This started yesterday at 4 in the afternoon and it's continued up until this morning and it's very frustrating. for a brief moment at 1130 at night for some reason I was able to play 1 game for at least 15 minutes before it went black again, then I tried
    relaunching the game and it's still going back to he black screen. I'm just wondering when Microsoft is going to fix this because I can't play anything now since my original xbox is already succumbed to the open tray error when I put disks in my Xbox so I'm
    forced to downloaded games, which even now I can't play. Can we please fix this? Xbox 360 is the only true gaming console left aside from PS4 nowadays.

    :)

    Digital Downloads When Are they Playable Thread

    Given all the hype about the games you buy digitally being playable when only a portion of it is downloaded I figured its worth collating a general guide as to which percentage downloaded they are actually playable.

    I will start Dead Rising 3 is playable once 46% of the game has been downloaded.

    Xbox One and Games bought Digitally through your 360 & Xbox Live.

    No 360 games, whether disc based or downloaded, will be playable on One.

  7. I noticed that my games were not launching 3 days ago...then after taking my xbox apart thinking that it could be a dust problem (to some degree there was dust) or the lens was dirty, or heck even changing the tv picture ratio aspect (downgrade from 1080i
    to 720p) would maybe lead to clues as to why games were not launching.

    During this ordeal, I have not been able to play my disc or downloaded games from XBL. My XB is still apart but was able to watch Netflix last night. And thank god when I found the system alert details by logging in to my account a couple of days ago otherwise
    I would have thought to buy a new Xbox360 (not XB1) When will downloaded games be playable again? :(

    When will downloaded games be playable again?

    I have tried also to play fifa 15, forza 5 or outlast (all downloaded games), and i can start these games until the title screen. After I need to start the game, it is finished... also he does not find any saved games anymore... already started indeed from
    16pm and still nothing possible to play... pff :-(

    With my x360, i do not have any problem at the same time...

    Try a hard restart. Hold the power button for 10 seconds. It fixed it for me.

  12. No, microsoft do not read these posts.

    There is currently no service alerts that would affect your xbox one, it would seem the issue is at your end.

    If it was a live issue that`s been going on for 4 days these forums would be full of people complaining, this thread is from 2 months ago.

    ^ Do you "no" or, do you "know"? Your Xbox 360 "history" only goes back to December 2012. =/

    Anyways, I was playing FIFA all weekend with no problems. As Owen stated, if this were a universal problem, these forums would be flooded with posts about it.

    Are you getting an error message, or does it just boot you back to the dashboard?
