Ok, I went into store and these are I think things needed for game to run and update. Not necessarily in this order, but all might be required for you situation.
- X-Box, modified yesterday.
- X-Box Insider - I signed up to test game, need this for that-never could get game to download*
- Digital Ownership - Been on here for while updated 9-9-2021.
- X-Box Game Bar - Has been needed since believe earlier in year, WU4 or thereabouts.
- Gaming Services - Has been needed for long time, believe it is MSFS associated Check of somkind.
*I found that Zone Alarm prevented the game from getting the core files from MS Store. Once I took off and then ran their clean.exe, was able to download. This is ongoing since game release, so most of the time I leave it off system.
One other thing, MS released a program called “Microsoft Security Scanner” one person reported his sytem had down deep bug/threat/something which deleted all his game files. He ran that (free, search for it on MS site)and that fixed his system, and he was good to go.
If, some of those things missing, maybe???
If none of this works, I am at loss. Maybe someone else has suggestions. If your system is real old (don’t know nothing about AMD, etc) the hardware requirements have changed since game release, real old video cards (my old laptop - game one, but old Video Card) would not now run this game period. So you might check those components against the newest HW requirements and make sure something has not gotten overridden by technology.
Good Luck.
