So far most of the issues I have heard are from people who have the game NOT being installed on the main/same drive as Gamepass or using another app to get it to install to another drive. They have all been different from troubleshooting. Try it on your main drive maybe.
That could be it, that's the last thing to try.
The Master Chief series is not installed on my C drive as it's like 200GB for the whole package lol so installed it on another drive. Xbox Gamepass is on my C drive but that hasn't affected other Gamepass games I use trainers for that are installed on a different drive.
I'll try to Re-install just Halo CE on C drive and give that a go.
Thanks for the suggestion.
