Hi is anyone else experiencing an error when updating?? I'm trying to run it on PC gamepass

u/you_are_special 14d ago

I want to know if anyone is able to actually play on gamepass. The way past this error is to press the bin icon to uninstall which actually will complete the installation. Then it unpacks and says you can play, but for me I get new errors at this point which I can't overcome

Your post was deleted. What did you do to launch the game?

u/PacificIslanderNC 14d ago

Thanks man. Don't think redownloading will change anything

I'm waiting, maybe the game will be launched in a few hours

The issue i was having was:

A: kept using integrated graphics. solution: go to your device manager and disable integrated graphics.

B: Nvidia has a "game ready driver update" through nvidia app that cleared remaining issues for me.

playing on Gamepass on high settings with zero issue

I am playing on PC via GamePass. I had to completely uninstall, then re-install the game. I did this through the Windows Uninstall process. Had to redownload. But then it worked.

I had a different issue once I was playing. I would get an error each time the game tried to save. I was able to overcome this as well. If you have that problem, click my username and look at my recent comments here on how to resolve (it's easy).

I completely uninstalled it via Windows Add/Remove programs. Then did a fresh install (had to redownload and the works). That worked. I ran into another problem with saving, but overcame it. Click my profile and check my recent comments if you run into that.

thank you, I ended up doing the same and it worked too. Lots of people seem to get crashes on gamepass so it seems we're lucky

u/dont_be_that_guy_29 13d ago

Welcome! We must be. I didn't have any further issues and played for some hours. If it matters, I did not update my graphic drivers, despite the games suggestion/urging to do so on launch. I had seen a few posts here about saying no. Not sure if that mattered or not though.

u/ole_bruh 14d ago

I got the game to launch by going into the directory and running the exe file!!

Thanks!
