    *Cancel any previous attempt to install / patch the game.

    *Reinstall the game on your C: drive ( i haven't tried other drives yet ) and soon as it starts downloading, restart your computer right away.
    Once the computer is back online don't open the windows store or the xbox app.

    *You could get a notification right away saying the game couldn't be installed, just ignore it and wait till the game downloads passively and completely.

    *It worked for me and now its time to play. Spread the word please.

    If it works for you please leave a comment to keep this post alive so more and more people can see it. Every time you post a reply the post gets back in the top of the list.

    I been messing around trying to fix this for well over 24 hours and I accidentally came across a similar fix. 1.I download the game and let it fail than 2.I restart the pc and when i log in the download finishes. However I get an incomplete version of the game where blacks look red and graphics leave trails I can hear my guy walking around and shooting but I cant see anything besides the loading screen **I got so excited to try it reverse when I read this but I got the same exact outcome as my original method... I am so stressed **

    Ok, even though I was once again looking over the scenic blue waters, the sound of seagulls in the air..I logged out to come in here to thank you for finding this crazy fix for an issue that had me completely frustrated and stumped. Awesome find, and I would highly suggest to any MOD, that you sticky this thread so others can find this. Why this worked I have no idea, but i'm glad it did.
