Why can't I keep Halo MCC on my console!

Paladinrja · Jun 23, 2020

When I bought my XBOX One S in 2016. I bought the Halo bundle.

For whatever reason. As of the moment the MCC was added to Game Pass I haven't been able to use it because it just keeps finding reasons to remove itself, inexplicably, from my system.

To be clear: I haven't been able to use my purchae since the MCC was added to Game Pass! (How long ago is that huh?).

If I cancel an update, it just removes the game! -- WHY?!

I am on a monthly data cap and cannot afford to keep re-downloading 116GB. -- for that matter, WHY do updates on XBOX not inform you of their size BEFORE choosing whether to start them, in the first place?

I just re-downloaded the MCC again. Lo and behold it wanted another 55GB after that. I cancelled the update (because the next system update will do it anyway if paused) and I don't have enough cap data to continue after downloading the game. -- It wiped
the lot, again! WHY?!

I'm not gonna mince words. To say I'm beyond pissed off is an understatement!

I have spent over 600GB trying to redowload &/ retain my purchase!!! -- given my monthly data cap, thats nearly $600 worth of internet I have nothing to show for! To date!

Before it was added to Game Pass, I could cancel an update and it didn't wipe the entire product ftom my system. -- What possible reason is there that this is even happening!

Are you perhaps in the insider program? maybe its causing the problem.

It seems strange that xbox sees your purchase as a game pass download. I would report the problem through the report a problem option on the dashboard and also try contacting xbox support.

P.S. that data plan is crazy, you should figure out another way to use data.

I'm sorry that this is happening. But this is by design and not a bug. When you cancel a game that is in the process of updating it can cause the data to be corrupted. It then removes the corrupted data that remained when only part of the update was applied
(the game will only work with all the changes or none of them, so interrupting the update results in an unplayable game). In the future, just pause the update - don't cancel or you'll have to go through this again.

Sadly there is not way to see the size of an update before downloading. Though starting the download will allow you to see the size of the download on the progress bar. If its to big, you can pause the update and finish it at another time.

I reset the console to factory defaults while keeping my games and apps. Before that, I redownloaded Halo 5. The Halo Infinite Beta does not work either but Halo: the MCC does work.

I'm having the same problem and I just bought my console. It's the newer 1tb Halo MCC and nothing... Can't save, can't upload clips... Not sure what's wrong and no one seems to have an answer that works.
