When this happens it has nothing to do with your Xbox. When your download speed isn't fast enough to keep up with your Xbox. Your console will tell you it too long to start. So your console is trying to process a specific amount of data at a time and if
it cant keep up it will give you the error. Please try some of these troubleshooting steps to see if you can boost your routers performance.

This happens with Fortnite on my sons console occasionally.

We reset the console by holding the power button on the console for a full 10 seconds until it’s completely off. When we turn it back on and try again, it always fixes it.

When it happens to me I quit the game, go to the store, look at many random game, then go back to my game and it then loads. Sometimes I have to do it twice. I never hard reset my console.

Do you have any game updates downloading when you get the "took too long to start" errors? That is usually what prevents me from starting a game on my external HDD until I go into the Queue and Pause all downloads.

Good luck!

Hey Dan!

Thanks for the fast reply! Your method will also clear the cache, it is actually my go to since I'm into the more "hands on" approach. As far as how often you should clear the cache, I would suggest somewhere in the realm of once every 1-2 weeks. Hope this
helps and make sure to let us know if you are able to get back into your gaming!
