    Xbox live issues with accessing digital content.


    I've been seeing this issue pop up with all my digital games for three years now, where xbox has issues verifying if I actually own the content im trying to play. Regardless of how long I've owned the content, how many hours I've put into a game, doesn't
    matter at all. I get any number of different error codes with a message saying in some form or fashion that xbox thinks I am trying to access content that I have not paid for. Why is this still an issue, and why does it seem like some people are more prone
    to have this issue than others? I know people who have never had this problem and yet for me this happens on a weekly basis... Denied access to content I legally have access to and nothing I can do about it other than continue to listen to Microsoft telling
    everyone that the problem is being worked on when it is clear they haven't done anything to fix this issue.

    :)

    Hi,

    Gameplay issues such as accessing and syncing in-game contents may occur due to different factors that we have to consider. We need to answer the following questions to properly isolate your concern:

    • Are you accessing Gears of War 4 on a Windows 10 computer or an Xbox One console?
    • Do you have the physical copy or the digital version of the game?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Are you experiencing issues with accessing and syncing in-game contents on other games as well?

    Xbox live issues with accessing digital content.

    Please, can we go to a form of hard checking the license for purchased digital content where access is linked to my account directly instead of going through an overly complicated verification process every time I start up a game.

    It honestly doesn't seem to be an overly difficult concept to go back to a process similar to how the 360 did things. I know that this is an attempt to prevent illegal access to content but it seems that in that attempt you are ticking more people off than
    you are helping. I can defiantly tell you I will never purchase digital games from Xbox again, at least if I had physical copies I could still play. You've taken what was supposed to be an improvement for ease of access and turned it into a nightmare for someone
    who just want to relax and play games when they get home from work.

    My Home Xbox Issues

    If you have two xbox ones, set the console in the living room to be your home xbox. This will grant anyone access to your digital content. When you sign in to xbox live on the console in your room only you will have access to the digital content and only
    when you are signed in to xbox live. Note: if your account is signed in on the second xbox (the one in your room). Other signed in accounts will have access to your digital content again.

    There should be no need to change back and forth between home consoles with this setup unless multiple users need access to digital content on both xbox ones and you don't want your account signed in on the second xbox.

    Xbox live won’t work

    Game pass and Xbox live are two different things. Xbox live provides access to online multiplayer while game pass provides access to content available to download. Remember that any digital purchase is bound to the account making that purchase.

    Family share and license share limitations.

    Your "home" xbox will have access to all digital content for any user online or offline. The user who purchased the content will have access to it while connected to xbox live. If you want your step daughter to have access to content you purchased, she
    will need to be on your "home" xbox. You will both be able to access the same games and apps at the same time. The only downfall to this is you will NOT have access to your content if you are NOT online.
