Xbox Suffers With 'Installation Stopped' & 'Kicked From Party' Issues

Hmmm i dont notice anything onn my Xbox 1 over the maybe it was a Series X|S issue

My sons xbox one wouldn't update fortnite saying "installation stopped"

This is obviously some PR for Hideo Kojima's next game. He's such a genius! Soon there will be power outages and people will be fighting for fuel only to discover its all been a 4D teaser trailer experience 😎

Seriously though this sucks. I'm not having any issues yet, hope it gets resolved before I download Alan Wake though.

Maybe Sony is sabotaging Xbox. Maybe I've played too much of the Syndicate. 😂😂

Hope it gets fixed soon

Haven't experienced any instalation issues so far. Can't say anything about party chat as I don't use it very often.

I've been playing Diablo 2 over the weekend, and other than a couple of crashes, I haven't really noticed anything.

A more long-term issue I've had is with Forza Horizon 4 keep trying to download to my internal storage instead of my external HHD. I know that to play the game, I'm best to have it installed internally (it might actually be that it is mandatory to have it installed internally, I'm not sure), but whenever it updates, it starts a completely new installation on to my internal hard-drive even though it is installed on by HHD, and my destination for fresh installs is also set to my external hard-drives, meaning that I end up with two installations of the game, which then go on to have two updates. It's a flaming nuisance and meant that I finally resorted to uninstalling it completely.

This has been a problem with a number of games, and I think it is linked to any game that has had a Series upgrade. In the end, I've just resorted to uninstalling games, but that is not ideal.

Noticed a lot of party chat issues these last few weekends. Eventually it settled down, but annoying mid match.
Haven't had any installation issues, but I still like how updates do seem to get stuck until I actively ask it to check (all the auto updates are on, but this is something that's plagued me wrom XB1 days)

I've been having the stopping installation problem, just kept on doing it no matter how many times I pressed retry I just left it and carried on playing other stuff and it eventually downloaded

I got 50GB into downloading Avengers on my XSX, then it showed up “Installation Stopped” a few times and then restarted the download from zero. No thanks. I cancelled it and am probably not missing much!

I picked up a physical copy Tales of Arise on Saturday and I had a heck of a time getting it to install anything.

I had to basically force the install by inserting the data disc (despite it telling me to insert the first disc), and then manually going to "Manage Game" and starting the install that way.

Not sure if that's related to this, but I was getting Installation Stopped issues until I manually forced the game to install.

I’ve had an issue the last few days where I can’t search for anything on the store. The search box comes up, and even though I can hear the letters I put it being typed they don’t show up on the screen.

@Fiendish-Beaver I've had that issue randomly for years on the One X. I remember Skyrim "updating" several times over the time I had it installed on an external HDD when it was really just trying to install the game again. I haven't experienced it on my Series X yet.

It shouldn't matter if you store it on an external drive or not, as the only "rule" is you can only actually play Series X games if they are on the internal or the Seagate storage card. If that issue still randomly pops up for people, it is a shame. It does seem to be very random though, so there's that.

Now you've got me wondering, @KilloWertz, is it just me? It happens with a number of different games; WarFrame was another one that I ended up just uninstalling, as was the case with Elder Scrolls Online. There are others, but the list would just go on. I've had to resort to uninstalling them as a last resort, as if I cancelled the installation on one day, it would reoccur the next. Not the end of the world, but is still an annoyance...

@Fiendish-Beaver I was actually trying to put you at ease by saying that I had it happen before. Oops... lol

I wouldn't be overly concerned, even though it is something I didn't have happen anywhere near that often. That is a bit odd, but it's also not something I'd stress out about too much. Maybe a couple of other games besides Skyrim over the last several years for me, but I also don't have my external drive connected to my Series X at the moment.

All good, @KilloWertz.

I haven't noticed anything over the past week. I was in party chats while playing the Halo Infinite technical preview with no issues, and my copy of Avengers downloaded a 46GB update without any problems either. This was all on a Series X that's in the Xbox Insider Alpha Skip Ahead Ring.

Can’t install the 2042 beta or update games. Keeps saying installation stopped

@Amin1998 I had that same issue this morning with the latest patch for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but after just letting it sit there after the 5th or 6th try, it eventually continued on it's own.

While I haven't experienced anything really other than that, hopefully Microsoft can get these issues fixed since they just appeared out of the blue over the last few days.
