    Why won't my game launch after switching to the latest console


    I downloaded Rust on my Xbox One X about a week ago. Today I got the Xbox Series X. I added my account and I downloaded Rust, but everytime I launch the game after about 2 seconds of trying to launch the game it brings me back to the Xbox home screen. It don't give me an error code or a message or anything telling me what the problem is. I reset my Xbox, deleted my account and added it back, Uninstalled the game and redownloaded it. I even did an O/S reset. I'm on the account that I was on when I purchased the game, I set my new Xbox to my home Xbox. I also have the receipt in my order history proving that i bought and own the game. I don't know what else to do or if im doing something wrong. Can anyone please help me with this issue

    :)

    Why won't my game launch after switching to the latest console

    Hello, Haedyn Adams.

    We appreciate you posting in Microsoft Community.



    I noticed you can't play Rust on the new Xbox console.

    I'm glad to have the opportunity to give you some advice.



    The first thing you can be sure of is that you can download Rust on Xbox One X, which means that your game license is not an issue.

    So are you experiencing similar issues when playing other games?



    In fact you have performed almost all of the troubleshooting steps that can be performed on the Xbox console and have troubleshot almost all of the issues from the Xbox System.



    If the issue is only occurring in Rust, then game compatibility with Xbox would be the next thing to consider.

    Who says X1 isn't about games?

    [quote user="smileskybird"]

    It's an Xbox, why wouldn't it be?

    Minecraft*, Forza*, Halo, Titanfall, Zoo Tycoon*, Powerstar Golf and Project Spark are all Xbox exclusives. And I love the whole idea of these games. Games I marked with * are due to come out towards the end of this year at the latest, or around or at launch
    of the Xbox One console.

    [/quote]

    I think you switched them up :p. Forza, Zoo Tycoon, Powerstar Golf are all launch titles, while Minecraft, Halo, Titanfall, Project Spark, are not.

    Xbox app won't launch after the latest update.

    Hi. My name is Brilliant, and I am happy to assist you today.

    If you're able to play without the update, I advise you do so for now. However you can try some troubleshooting methods to help resolve the issue.

    Here are a few troubleshooting tips you can try to resolve your query:
    - Restart your device.
    - Update Windows.
    - Update your device drivers.
    - Sign into the Xbox app and Store using the same account.
    - Remove and reinstall Gaming Services.
    - Use the app troubleshooter.
    - Repair and reset the Xbox app. For more details on the above and more troubleshooting tips, kindly visit: https://support.xbox.com/help/games-apps/troubleshooting/troubleshoot-games-windows-10

    I hope this helps resolve your query.

    Halo Infinite won't launch after latest update

    Hi Hortencia Kroemer



    Thanks for reporting this issue in Microsoft Answers.



    I understand that you are having trouble with Halo Infinite not launching, and I understand your confusion.

    I understand that you are having trouble with Halo Infinite not launching after the latest update. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game, followed by performing a clean boot of your system.

    A clean boot is a troubleshooting technique that allows you to manually disable startup items and services to identify the software causing the game to crash. Once you find the problematic software, simply uninstalling it should resolve the issue. Here’s how to do it:

    Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

    These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get back on track.



    1. Press Win+R to open the Run dialog. Type msconfig and press Enter to open the System Configuration window.
    2. Select the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services, and then click Disable all.
    3. In the Startup tab of Task Manager, disable all startup items.
    4. Return to the System Configuration window and click OK.
    5. Click Restart to reboot your computer.

    After restarting your computer, run the game to check if the issue recurs. If there are no problems, you will need to reopen the System Configuration window and enable services one by one until you find the problematic service. After enabling each service, you will need to restart your computer to apply the changes.

    Once you identify the software or service causing the game to crash or fail to start, uninstall the software or disable the service to resolve the issue.

    We look forward to hearing back from you.
