Today the game starts to crash immediately after starting. It crashes on both of my Xbox one S and X, so it is not a corrupt file issue. Can’t even start one game, please fix.

I think it’s a Microsoft issue

There is an existing bug report thread for this issue:

> [@Post 5.3 update, game crashes on the Xbox \[INVESTIGATING\]](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/post-5-3-update-game-crashes-on-the-xbox-investigating/67780):

> Platform, device version and operating system: Xbox One X Screenshot or image: N/A What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened: Since the 5.3 update, the game will crash without a repeatable pattern. I have had it crash immediately three times in a row. I have also been able to play for 30 minutes before it crashes. When the crash occurs, the box makes a loud humming sound for a couple of seconds before dropping out to the home screen. For reference, I have tried each …

Has been happening for certain Xbox players for 3 months now.

Looks like @rojo is correct. According to the Xbox Live status page on [xbox.com](http://xbox.com), there is a “major outage” with cloud gaming that can result in players getting kicked out of, or not being able to access games that use the cloud. That’s probably why so many more Xbox players are dealing with crashes.

Hey everyone,

Just coinfirming we’re aware of this issue.  
It is unfortunately caused by the major outages at Xbox at the moment.  
The game won’t be able to be reliably played until these issues are resolved by Microsoft.
