I can't install the game ( Code: 0x80070005 ( PC ))

  • A Wise Scrubby

    I have been trying to install this game for now 10 hours, and it keeps p*****g me off.

    First, it installs normally until it reaches the end where it will give me " Can't install, we'll try again later", it decides to install the game again but when it reaches the 20mb mark, it gives me the error again ( Code: 0x80070005 ) and does it one more time before it gives up.

    @a-wise-scrubby I've been waiting all day to play. It finally lets me download and install then it does this. Good thing Blackwake exists!

    @a-wise-scrubby Hey I just restarted my PC and it finished the install. Try doing that.

    Reinstall the game on your C: drive and soon as it starts downloading, restart your computer right away. Once the computer is back online dont open the windows store or the xbox app. You could get a notification right away saying the game could be installed, ignore it and wait till the game downloads passively.
    It worked for me and now its time to play. Spread the word mateys !

    Yeah im sick of this. Can't install it. God damm it Microsoft. Release on steam. Windows Store is god damm hopeless. This good game will fail because of the stupid delivery system.
