    WHY does the XBOX say it needs to reinstall a game after I've only played it AN HOUR


    I recently bought a new XBOX One S. I thought "cool, this will be great and fun!" WELL WRONG. On MONDAY I booted it up for the first time. I spent over a day downloading specific updates. Sure, whatever, but here's where the "fun begins." I install three
    games via DISK. They ALL say "needs updates" so I go "okay sure I'll download some updates" and I proceed to wait three to four days to download GIGABYTES of data. Crazy, right? I KNOW I think so too!

    BUT! WOW FINALLY a **** game actually downloads completely! It's Gears of War: Ultimate Edition! Woohoo! Right? Well... wrong

    It's finally, after almost 5 days of downloading "ready" to "play." So, I launch it.

    I kid you not, I play for about an hour. That's it. AN HOUR. The system crashes, freezes, whatever, I can't play anymore. I restart.

    Re-insert the disk to expect an immediate game launch because I've already downloaded all the content. WELP, GUESS WHAT. THIS **** XBOX TELLS ME IT NEEDS TO NOT ONLY REINSTALL THE ENTIRE 39GB GAME BUT ALSO THE 5GB WEB DOWNLOAD THAT'S ALREADY **** ON THE
    SYSTEM! I CAN SEE IT! RIGHT THERE! IN THE 'USED DATA' SECTION!

    Now I have to wait for the entire game to redownload. I PLAYED IT ONCE!

    SOMEONE TALK ME DOWN OR ELSE MICROSOFT IS GETTING A VERY ANGRY PHONE CALL TOMORROW.

    :)

    My games freeze up.

    Say im playing a game like skyrim or battlefield 3.



    After about 1 hour,1 hour and 30 mins into the game...It just suddenly freezes. Is it overheating? Or does it need a clean? Can someone tell me?.

    Beta Error!

    keep trying to get into games, no need to reinstall. Some say it can be solved by clearing your cache on the xbox. Most people just end up mashing the A button for half an hour until they get in a game.

    It will only get worse today now the beta is open to all, the servers are likely to strain. I'm personally waiting it out a couple of days

    Psychonauts Update Broke the Game?

    I don't understand why we'd need to do that. They update just like any normal Xbox One game does. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I've already tried deleting and reinstalling the game and the problem still persists.

    Any reason people can message you "Hang yourself" and not get banned?

    It's usually immediate. When I report someone messaging me to end my life, I get a message from Xbox literally 3 seconds after reporting, saying action has been taken. I've reported him 24 hours ago and I haven't received a peep. I doubt I'm the only only reporting too, since he was so toxic in-game and message a lot of people. Does it depend on the method to perform the act the person suggests? Why is it so inconsistent?

    Textures Issues on Xbox Series S

    I've dealt with this issue for months, I've even gone as far as getting a new series S and the problem happened on it as well within a few hours of playing with cod being the only game installed. I've done everything from factory reset to deleting data to hard reboots. Treyarch says it's an Xbox issue, Xbox says it's a Treyarch issue. It's **** mental how much noone will take ownership of it and fix the **** game. It's literally unplayable. Even more so something seriously has to be **** up for both versions of the game to not work. I've tried only having certain files downloaded, I've tried moving it back and forth and redownloading and trying with a silver profile after reinstalling and removing my profile. Nothing I repeat absolutely nothing fixes this. And this seems to be the only help section posting about this issue. No info on Reddit or anywhere else about how to fix or what is causing this. I saw that someone even bought 3 series S consoles just to have it happen to all 3 of them. Treyarch or Microsoft needs to fix this now.

    Starfield

    Same issue. I've been waiting 3 and half hours and I'm still unable to play. Still saus I'm too early. I've even uninstalled everything and reinstalled it, hard reset my Xbox, power cycled it and nothing has worked. This is my only day off before the global launch which is why I paid for the early access and I can't even play it
