I feel like this is the first Xbox service outage in 2 or 3 years.

Correct and/or downvote me if I'm wrong, but as far as I remember Xbox live never had any outage last year and maybe the year before that when I played, but it's been a while since I experienced a service outage and today I'm not surprised that the servers are down. First time this year I believe.

I need to get in contact with someone at xbox.

I created my account using an "sbcglobal.net" email. When AT&T stopped supporting those emails, I lost access to it. I was unable to change to my new email with Microsoft, because they require you to use your old email to confirm the change to the new one. Eventually, I lost access to my Microsoft account, and can't get it back, because I can't access the correct email and I wrote my security answers over 10 years ago.

I have now paid for an Xbox live membership that I can't use for way longer than is acceptable, and my bank was unable to stop the payments.

Microsoft/Xbox online customer service is terrible, and totally incapable of solving my issue. I just need a contact who can point me in the right direction. If anybody has an email address or phone number, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Update: I was told to call my bank, and they were able to block the payments. My account will deactivate when it goes unpaid. Goodbye to Binkeystealer3. Goodbye to every game I bought digitally.

Rise of Nations EE problem

Hi,

Under Game Pass installed RoN EE, when launching stuck on this:

Please sign into Xbox Live to continue. Ok/Exit

Pressing Ok immediately pops same window, Exit is exit.

Same thing if I launch it from MS Store or Xbox app, signed on or not. WSRESET, reinstall does not help. No direct answer on Google.

If anyone had this and managed to solve, please share.

xbox live not allowing me to login on PC

I have had live Ultimate for 2 years now no issues. It currently works on my Xbox Series X with no issues, I can login with my phone app, but when I go to play a game on my PC (which has worked perfectly fine up until now), it says I need to login. I open the xbox app, click on login, it has my player icon and email and says "Welcome Back" I click on the "lets go" button, the box dissapears and I am still not logged in. I am losing my mind as I have already tried:

  1. Updating the app and the Windows 11 OS to the latest.
  2. Running the fix app for Xbox.
  3. Remove the XBOX app all together and reinstalling
  4. Calling XBOX help which told me to do all of the above and then said "oh well the next step is to do a factory reset!" I was like NO!!!!!
  5. Uninstalled the XBOX app, removed all of the xbox entries I could find in the registry, rebooted, reinstalled.
  6. Turned off the Windows Defender firewall.
  7. Tried logging in as "other" in the app to manually type in my email and password again.
  8. Made sure that the xbox accessory manager, xbox live auth manager, xbox live game save, and xbox live networking service are all running.

I am running out of ideas. Anybody have any ideas? This is crazy!

How can i check if the Xbox Gamertag i want to chose is unique and will not get any numbers added to it at the end of the name?

question in Title. Ive changed my Gamertag for free once before and it said it was available when i changed it, then it just added 4 Random Numbers to the end of my Name. Since theres only one Change for free and i have to pay for it now i want to make extra sure that the new one wont have any numbers added to it.

thanks for the help

GamerTag is linked to a random suspended EA account.

I have a XBox Account and I have a EA account that Ive always used on PC since around 2011 (Orgin, Star Wars: The Old Republic).

When I first got a Xbox One Battlefield 1 Edition in like 2016 I do not believe I ever used my account to sign in. It might have been a guest account or something. No issues playing for years.

But now whenever I open Battlefield 1 on Xbox One it says your credentials are outdated please reset your account ***@eaboy03.lol (obviously not my account)

But when I try to download EA games on PC same thing and I can quasi sign in to that EA account however I really can’t do anything like unlink it unless I actually knew the email to reset the password.

TL:DR. My gamertag is linked to a EA account that isn’t mine. How do I unlink it without EA. I sent a help request through EA but basically they said they can’t see an issue because MY EA account is fine.

I'm just trying to find out the storage limit for Xbox Network. Mine is at 91% and before I hit "Download All" I'd kinda like to know how may gb it will be. Can't find this info anywhere, THANKS!!! : )

Welp, I went ahead and downloaded it all to my OneDrive account and it brought it up to almost 30gb, unfortunately I can not recall what I was at before I did the download lol I think I was somewhere between 5 and 10gb, so best guess is 20gb of storage allowed... doesnt really matter now I guess. Got 100gb of storage on OneDrive. Just wanted to get everything saved before they started deleting stuff on the 9th : )

Family Account and Game Sharing

I game share with my brother. I buy the games usually and he then has access to them but I want to add my son to my account.

If I create a family account will it have any effect on the game sharing? I couldn’t find anything current online. I’ve got two Xboxs in different parts of the house. Sometimes my son likes to play games I’ve bought for him with his mother. I’d like to be able to go to my other Xbox and play something else but currently when I do it kicks them off or vice versa.

In theory adding a family account would work I think but I don’t want to mess up the game sharing if I don’t have to either. Appreciate any help

XBOX Live - Won't show and cannot find video captures from PC

Hi guys,

I've used Xbox live to screen record videos of my daughter playing one of her favorite PC games.

But today, the app is no longer showing my captures (it says there is an error and to try later, but it doesn't change no matter how long I wait/try).

I tried searching my PC through File Explorer, but I can't find any videos that were created today.

Do you know where the default folder it generates the captures on PC? It doesn't appear to be just under Videos.

I'm wondering if I accidentally moved/deleted this folder and now it's not saving them.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

Xbox flaky network connection

My xbox recently started getting disconnected from wireless wifi a lot. I tried almost everything to troubleshoot the wireless connection. Basic steps like restarting router, xbox, modem.Tried putting modem into bridge mode. Connected directly to modem and bypassing router. Changed port number to manual. QoS tagging settings- dscp, wmm. Nothing helped This issue has really started. 1-2 weeks back. Xbox status says purchase and content usage having issues, but that does not sounds like network issue. Changes DNS settings to free public DNS.

Sometimes it gives msg that your network is good but here are some Xbox related issues

Wondering if anyone else also having same issues and if it could be something wrong on Xbox side like some network related outage and if it's gonna get resolved on its own.

Xbox live specific 360 game issue HELP

Idk why but saints row 2 is the only 360 game on my series x that wont let me join or invite to a game. I have game pass and my friend can invite me to a game but if i try to join it says my account doesnt have gold? We even tried saints row 1 for 360 and multiplayer worked. We also tried another 360 game and that also didnt give us any problems. It is ONLY me that it says this to and ONLY with saints row 2. It makes zero sense.

I have tried uninstalling the game, resetting console, cycling the series x power, and everything. Also ive triedthe coop and multiplayer option from the main menu as well and it gives me a warning saying my profile is unable to play on xbox live. Again only with this game.

What happens if I redeem a bundle code for 2 games, but I already own 1?

I'd like to get Forza Horizon 3 ultimate edition, but the only bundle I found on a keysite that seems available is both Forza Horizon 3 ultimate edition, and Horizon 4 ultimate edition.

I already own Horizon 4, will it recognise if I activate the code or can it mess up something?

Multiple accounts on one console question.

I have Xbox live on my account, but I’ve gotten a room mate recently who wants to game under his own account. If he makes an account and logs in on my console, will he be able to play games that require live, or will he have to get his own subscription?

Service

Can y’all prorate my live subscription when your shit goes down? I don’t expect much from you but I pay a fee to use your servers. I do the 3 months at a time plan which is pure profit for you. Is it too much to ask to pay a nerd some over time to make sure the only thing you offer actually works. I mean goddamn you provide a link to an abstract concept of a product. Make it work or kill yourself. If I paid a fast food franchise and they said “tough shit try again later” blah blah blah, incriminating statement blah blah blah, I’d throw a Molotov into their grease trap. Fuck, give me what I’m paying for or stop offering your subpar services. You don’t deserve to get rich off this product. I work hard to earn my measly-ass peasant wage and I’m so let down by you didn’t even create the service you so poorly manage. You know what never mind. I’m obviously blowing smoke at corporate bitches who can’t wipe their own ass anyways. Fuck all of you I hope your kids never learn how to read and if they do know how to read I hope they get dementia at puberty so they forget how to read, and then something else aweful. Fuck you.

Ex is still using my Visa Debit for XBL, Microsoft can't help??

I broke up with an ex a few years ago. My (visa debit) card was linked to their account. I've changed my card, but Visa just automatically updates the card on the Microsoft account to the new card. I've disputed the transactions but my bank says there is no fraud taking place. I've spoken to Microsoft support and they say there is nothing I can do. I'm sick of paying for my exes shit. Has anyone else run into this? I can't be the only one.

Short of changing banks, what can I do to get out of this??

Beta testers with continuous memberships should be rewarded.

I have been on Xbox Live since the beta test. I never let my account lapse. Now that Xbox Live will no longer be a thing, there should be some recognition for us OG members.
