  • swimonmanard Jeremy Ard (@swimonmanard) reported

    @Jessica28719 @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline This is not a new issue though, it usually takes 1 to 4 tries of restarting the game and possibly clearing data, restarting xbox and/or clearing mac address in order to get past the title screen or the first unusal long load screen that never ends. Been this way for a year +

  • ArieGullett Arie Gullett (@ArieGullett) reported

    @XboxSupport Xbox Live Services down? Launch any game and if either says “the person who bought this game needs to sign in” it’s a free game…. “Or I get that the servers are down” but Xbox website says all is good.
