Help with PC Game Pass faff
Posted: January 4th, 2022, 9:13 am
Hi folks,
Can anyone help me with getting PC Game pass to actually install games?
I signed up for three months for a dollar just to try. Glad I only spent a dollar so far as I can't even use this service. Have been trying to get some games to install for three days, all I get is the 0000x1 error code or it gets stuck on 0% Preparing forever. It says I need administrator privileges.
I have tried repairing the Xbox desktop app, resetting it, restarting my laptop several times, removing and reinstalling Game Services, changing the startup preferences of the Xbox services to automatic, checking if my Windows edition is in safe mode, checking my Microsoft store and Xbox account are the same Microsoft account, and clicking through the "fix it now" notification in the app which takes me to a link to download an update... which leads to a 404.
The weird thing is I can download free games from the Store section like Forza Street. I can even download Sea of Thieves, which is a Game Pass game! I can't download Forza 5 or The Gunk, however, which are among the ones I would like to try.
Anyone had this issue before? There's lots of Reddit threads with some of the solutions I tried, there's a long thread on a Microsoft help site that was left unresolved.
