My friends wants to play the game with me but it keeps crashing on his computer for some reason. My game works perfectly fine. We both got it from the Microsoft store, but whenever he launches the game, it crashes on the logo screen. I went on the game forum but found no solution.

    Check that you language is set to English (USA) SOD2 doesn't like other language packs much. If this doesn't solve your problem, I recommend you hit them on Discord, that is about the best way of getting support.

    As for the 28mb download, it is the way the MS Store works. It will download between 20 and 35mb, then sit there for 15 to 20 minutes doing nothing before continuing the download. If you don't interrupt it, it should complete.

    Back again. So 4.0 sorted this **** issue and 4.1 broke the game for me again. The dev testing team has some serious issues... I enjoy playing the game but I'm sick of these problems to be honest.

    The problem persists in windows 10 with the following.

    1. You cannot play the game through the Windows Live Store.
    2. Open or enable and open the Xbox app on the pc.
    3. Sign into the account you purchased the game for. Live ID
    4. While signed into your live account. Launch the game from the xbox app or the store.

    MUST BE SIGNED INTO XBOX LIVE ACCOUNT TO PLAY.
