Hey that’s better than my experience with that app. For me it worked fine exactly once. Then it’s been a festival of frowny faces and generic error messages, because clearly that is better than telling the user what the issue is.
I managed to install fallout 76 once (of course it was free, you think I’d pay to play that game on that god forsaken platform ?). It didn’t work because… I had the audacity of installing the game on a different drive than the OS, in the year of our lord 2023. The bug is specific to the Xbox app too… And neither Bethesda nor Microsoft care about it. I’m 99% sure it’s still present to this day but I sure as hell won’t install that terrible software to verify it.
I had basically the same experience. I could download a 100gb game but not finish installation, just a shitty error code, support was trash too asking me to change my default windows program install location.
Did you notice that when you install games from the Xbox app on a drive, it makes special folders that you can’t delete? It installs them with TrustedInstaller, and that means that the administrator isn’t allowed to delete them! You have to open up the folders and change the owner back to a user, then give that user permission to delete the fucking folder. Bullshit insidious software that I won’t use anymore.
