  2. Downloaded games won't play without disk...why?

    I have saved several games from purchased disk to hard drive, plus downloaded from live to console, but they say that I cannot play them without having the disk inserted. Why do I have to insert the disk if it is downloaded to the hard drive? How do I play
    a game downloaded to the hard drive without using the disk?

    Downloaded games won't play without disk...why?

    if you downloaded it from the marketplace then you do not need the disc but if you downloaded them from the disc onto the hard drive then you will need to have the disc in the system in order to play the game.

    Everytime I download something from my Download history I always get "Can't Download _____" (New xbox)

    Update: I am able to download more recent things like the Halo 4 war games pass, but older things won't always work. Why is that?

    Factory reset my xbox1.

    I had already removed my profile account and downloaded it again and Signed in/out still same issue. Even with no profile signed on the xbox game store tabs won't work...this is why I have come down to a factory reset. My concern would be my game saves..

    Why won't this game download?

    Hi Austin_1904. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox Communities Forum. I'm sorry you are experiencing issues installing Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

    Do you get any messages when it reaches 99.9% such as "Installation Stopped"? If it still says it's installing, you may need to allow some time for the installation to finalise; this can take some time on older consoles with hard drives such as the Xbox One.

    If the issue persists, please power cycle your console:

    Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

    Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or on your controller.

    And as a last resort, if nothing helps, factory reset your console:

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.
    Select Reset console.
    Select Reset and keep my games & apps

    Why won't this game download?

    Hi, Kyle. I've already reset my Xbox before when this happened, and it still persisted after I reset it. And yes, it does say that the installation has stopped every time. It's this specific game that this is happening to. Every other game I download works just fine.
