Wish I saw this post earlier. I bought the game on Friday night, install took way longer than anticipated, almost a full day! When I was able to play, I realized live traffic wasn’t working, I spent hours looking for a solution online, trying a number of different things. Was it my firewall, xbox live account, or steam being the issue…so frustrating, no luck.
Today I spent a few hours web chatting with various microsoft support, they had me do a number of diagnostics…still nothin. I only now found this site/thread. I guess I had bad timing buying/installing the game thinking it was a problem on my end.
Anyway, microsoft said they are escalating my issue and will email me back. Thought I’d share my experience/ and info.
