Xbox 360 Game Downloads stuck at 79%

lnnspire · Feb 14, 2020

Hi!

For the past two days, I have been trying to download Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 but every time I attempt to download both of them, they end up reaching 79% before they reset to 0%. I tried to install another game called
Burnout, and that installed successfully without any problems. I have tried resetting both the system marketplace caches, trying different storage devices, redownloading profiles, and wiping my hard drive but nothing seems to work. I have also seen other people
having the same problems as seen in my reddit post:https://www.reddit.com/r/xbox360/comments/f3dyo5/download_resets_after_79/. All of
these factors considered, this leads me to believe that this is not faulty hardware but rather something to do with the servers that deal with these downloads on the Xbox 360. I just bought Black Ops 2 yesterday for $50 (Crazy Price for a game that came out
in 2012) and I am disappointed that I am unable to actually play the games I have recently bought. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Yes, I have never changed regions. My locale is the United States and I have never changed/left the US.

Does your account region match your physical location?

For 360 games that's typically a sign of a region issue.

I am having similar issue with downloading Halo: Reach Demo. After downloading 79% percent the message appears "Can't download Halo: Reach Demo" and download is terminated. If I restart it (by choosing "Download again") it seems to continue with the download
from 78% and at 79% it quits again.

I have tried to add it to the queue from web interface and from console, it has the same effect. I have also deleted the downloaded content on xbox and redownloaded from scratch and again got stuck at 79%.

Interesting point is that web (and xbox) shows that the demo has 1.74 GB and when I was deleting the local downloaded content (which was supposed to be 79% of the data) the xbox showed me 1.8 GB allocated on local hard drive.

So I wonder if there could be some mismatch between the data sizes and that is why it is always cut at the same place.

hey I'm having the same issues as well with downloading from xbox 360 or through the website, after about 79% the download will stop and when i go to storage the game file will be listed as corrupted and not playable. Any help here will be appreciated
