Cannot start a game

[SouthernCompadre]

Hi there

I’m trying to start a gane on PC xbox pass and it seems impossible, I’m signed in on my account, I got a good PC with graphic drivers updated and whatnot, I have uninstalled and installed the game but nothing seems to work, I just hit start game and it won’t let me, it will stay there on the select difficulty screen forever, music playing and all, then if I alt+shift to check on the browser I cannot go back to the game screen…I really want to play but for some reason I can’t. Anyone else with the same issue? is there a fix or something I’m missing?

Clicking “Options” for example works flawless. So seems like the freezes only appear for pc game pass users and only happen while the pc communicates with the cloud saves. Have…

Workaround for PC Game Pass Issues - Possibly

I first downloaded this only yesterday, and after a promising, intriguing start, things got glitchy real quick. I came here and noticed that many of you have similar issues with stutters and freezing, and much to my dismay there didn’t seem to be much of an answer. So I tried a few diagnostics. Skip to the end… I’m finding that if I first launch the Xbox Console Companion app and then launch MYZ from there, things are much improved. Well, I say that, but there are still plenty of stutters when…

My insane work around to get the game to play on PC Game Pass (sort of)

Since the game seems to freeze when selecting a difficulty and starting a new game on PC I decided to download it on my kids Xbox One and started a game. After the first tutorial encounter I saved the game, quit and launched it on PC. Instead of launching it through the Game Pass app I right clicked it in the start menu and launched it as Administrator just for the heck of it. I selected “continue” after the game signed in and it loaded up. Now the problem is that there is a crazy amount of stu…

The workaround that worked for me was, to go into the options screen, change a setting (I turned vibration off) and then save. After that I was able to start a game without problems. I did encounter a slow sync warning during the game. However, I pushed “Try Again” and then it worked.
