Xbox PC Game Pass games crashing

HoLy is SicK · May 24, 2022

I've recently been having issues with certain games crashing upon launching. I've been playing The Evil Within 2 for about two weeks now. When I launch the game and it reaches the menu it stops responding. I've tried everything from repairing the game files to restarting my PC and reinstalling the XGP app, nothing works except reinstalling the game. I've also had this issue recently with other games on Gamepass such as Vampire Survivors. I've been a GPU member for several years now, and I'm not sure what is going on with the PC app but it's been miserable lately.

Having the exact same problem with the following Xbox Game Pass for PC games, they both crash instantly when I try to run them.

HERE IS A WORKING SOLUTION TO Metro Exodus crashing in XBOX Game pass for PC. This worked for me 100% each time the game crashed, and after trying to uninstall it I got stuck with unplayable game, unremovable game files. I went through points 1-5. I managed
to beat the game after several crashes and remove it recovering 60 GB disk space

.

So if anyone has issues with Metro Exodus crashing on PC/XBOX GAME PASS and is unable to sucessfully uninstall the game and free the disk space do this:

Uninstall XBOX Game Pass for PC APP
go to your Windows 10 Update Menu and Press Update
restart Windows
Install Xbox game pass App again
Open Xbox game pass App and Press Install Metro Exodus (it will not take long because the game is already there, just a tiny part of it will be brought back).

This way the game should be playable again or , if you wish you may NOW finally unistall it and free your disk space.

This will not stop the ME from crashing but will make it playable und uninstallable

The tricky part is that when the game crashes and we want to uninstall it, some part of the Windows update is removed with it but not the game so the disk space cannot be freed nor game started untill you do the points 1-5 and get your Windows updated again.

This problem has been known for a few weeks now but no patch from XBOX so far.

I hope this will help

Hi HoLy! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

So reinstalling the game solves the issue, and then it starts happening again, this is immediately or after sometime?

Have you tried launching the games without using the Xbox app to launch, only the game icon?

If this happens after some days, have you tried using the Microsoft store to update all your PC apps before reinstalling the games?

It is game crash on account of Game Pass because when you buy the game, it does not crash. It is really bad. I am on an important mission with no other way of entering a room then the front door. as soon as I pass the threshold, it crashes the game AND Game
Pass.
