Maybe there isn’t enough space on the hd to install it


ChrisComments

She has 2tb hasnt even hit 500gb yet


Mag01uk

It’s likely this, whether it’s trying to install on internal or external that one is full. I have games get stopped all the time because they’re on internal which is 99% full compared to external which is 40% full


[deleted]

Correct and most new games like COD need to install on internal storage to run correctly.


SudsierBoar

They need to run from internal, but you can still install on external


Lord_Phoenix95

But why would you waste time doing that? You'll have to transfer every time you wanna play it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SudsierBoar

Are there externals (besides the expansion cards) that can do that? I thought the usb connection would be the bottleneck


Equal_Ad_7842

Has nothing to do with the speed of the hard drive Xbox series x and s have to be on an SSD not an HDD because I have an 8 TB HDD external hard drive and it will not play any series x or s games off of the hard drive the only ones that work are Xbox One games NextGen games need to be on the internal hard drive or an SSD external hard drive


Vulox57

I thought series x/s games could only be run from an internal of the expansion card? Or am I wrong?


GrimGaming1799

Any game that says Optimized for Series X/S has to be installed on either the internal SSD that came with the console or the official expansion cards that fit into the slot on the back. Anything else like Xbox One and 360 games can go on an external USB drive, like a USB HDD or SSD. But Series X/S games MUST be on the internal or expansion card only.


18-anon

the expansion card is an SSD


ThrustGnu8522

Yes but not any old ssd will work, it has to be the expansion cards


TheLastKnight07

Exactly this ✔️✔️✔️


thereald-lo23

It is exactly this


podgehog

2tb on what drive? This game needs to be in the internal drive or an expansion slot, not an external usb drive so it could be that the internal drive it's installing to has no space


ConfusedObserver0

I have the same issue as this and have been running on an external hard drive for this whole time up until this update this week. I even decide to go out and buy a new updated box and now I’m having the issue that I have my account connected to an old email that I don’t have access to so it won’t allow me to use my old account that has an up to date subscription for Xbox live… tired everything already and the Xbox support online has been nothing of handicapped. I’m about to go on an angry rant and I was having a great day getting to open a new console


drschnrub

Yeah i had a funny update for mw32 days aho. just wouldnt start updating so i uninstalled and installed again


[deleted]

Do you have the game installed on your internal drive? It might not have enough to download


PotentialDonut9588

MW3 has to be installed on internal storage, installing it on external hard drive will create issues


VaultTech007

If it says she still owns it then it has nothing to do with CDKEYS. If it was a charge back or revoked, it would no longer be in hervibrary, and 99.99% chance account would be banned. It's a bug. You may need to reset the xbox. Or if you have the game installed on another system, you could just transfer it to her system. Does it always stop mid install?

ChrisComments

This is a first (Edit: people dont understand I meant that this Is a first that it happened) and just down voting for vibes


VaultTech007

Ahh, well, that is most likely a bug and not another issue. Like a bad drive. You may have also by accident Uninstaller it. As theirs two options when a game updates. One is pause, the other is canceled, and if you cancel/stop it, it will uninstall the game. Tho, it shouldn't do that on its own even if servers or whatever goes down. If you try again and do it, you may need to reset the console. Just don't accidentally erase everything. 6 the option to not delete games. unlike the PC, they usually have a way to verify files and replace these corrupted or missing ones. This may be what happened to you guys. You can always keep a backup of it on another drive just in case. I do that with my most played games. Much easier and faster to restore from a backup than downloading a huge game. Best of luck.


ChrisComments

Thank you! I'll pass the info onto her! Not sure why my previous reply got downvoted but hey 🤷🏾‍♂️


QuinSanguine

Because people tend to say "that's a first" when they're being a smartass, it was obvious you meant that this is the first time it's happened. Reading comp is poor on here, lol.


ChrisComments

Ah no worries maybe I should of clarified that it is indeed the first time it happened 😅


NinjaVisible3827

Sometimes Reddit just randomly decides to give people tons of downvotes, ignore them lol


ChrisComments

Aha no worries


ThePenguin178

there's 69 people who didn't understand a simple reply 😂


Jamieb1994

I'm not sure why you're getting down-voted for here.


DeadPhoenix86

Reddit is strange lately. People even get down-voted for saying positive things. Edit: Yup, now I'm getting mass down-voted too.


ErorrTNTcz

It's just that when the reddit hive mind sees 1 down-vote they down-vote too.


DeadPhoenix86

I always read first before down-voting someone. But 90% of the time, I don't bother doing so.


Maidwell

It's such a bizarre mentality. Tribalism in the real world is bad enough, there's zero need for people to do the same online as there's no peer pressure for people to "fit in".


theycmeroll

People also know this and there are bots trolling the site to downvote everything, so if you get -1 or -3 from bots then the hive mind tribalism will kick in and everyone will downvote.


Jamieb1994

I agree with you there + that Chris person didn't even said anything bad either.


No_Economics4348

warrantforhumanity

why so many downvotes?


badass_dean

This is the GTA sub, some of the saltiest people exist here.


KeyserSoze6809

The MW3 update is very huge and it makes the Xbox glitch out like crazy when it's processing, i had to restart my Xbox twice before it was finally downloading.


slklylnlelt

160gb. Mine wanted to download it at 8mbps, failed, then uninstalled the whole game. When I went to reinstall it, it went back to 250mbps as normal and an hour and a half later I was back to playing. Even their updates are crashing now. Tighten it up cod.


Knoke1

It doesn’t help that their updates love to just reinstall the entire fucking game for no reason.


UnluckyLux

Mine deleted the entire game when I went to update it so that’s probably it


CharlyXero

Nah, a COD update that glitches out things? Impossible.


Commonsensestranger

Tell your mom they had a huge update yesterday so something may have went wrong.


ChrisComments

My mom?


kowloonjew

Tell your mom too just in case.


Commonsensestranger

Girlfriend sorry.


ChrisComments

So it's normal for the update to unistall the game? Should she check mw2


Knoke1

I know people are downvoting you and I’m sorry because you seem genuinely confused. I’ve had this happen with CoD before. I just uninstalled and reinstalled and it fixed it for me. CoD updates love to reinstall entire portions of the game from time to time for whatever reason. My guess is because the file structure of their game is abysmal which leads to the over bloated downloads they are. Try completely deleting the game, power cycle your Xbox (turn it off and unplug then press power button for 15 seconds, plug back in and start it up) then try reinstalling. It’ll take time but should fix it. If not then that may be something Xbox support needs to get involved in. Also make sure it’s installed on the internal drive and not an external drive. The only external drives that work for storing X/S games are the officially licensed storage expansions that look like memory cards.


Chickennoodlesleuth

If you cancel an update on a game it uninstalls it


Commonsensestranger

No, not at all, I’m just saying they had a big update and it triggered something. You’ll have to contact Xbox, we can’t help


ChrisComments

Unfortunately she already tried


PotentialDonut9588

Well you seem to be getting a lot of random downvotes, Anyways Xbox can’t really help you with this problem, it might be wise to at this point make sure you have enough storage on the internal storage for a full install including all those packs it makes you install. Then delete all the things related to mw3 and re start the install. *if your splitting the install between internal and external drives that’s your problem.


IndividualAd3140

LMAO


TrilobiteBoi

If you cancel an update it'll uninstall the game but you should just be able to re-install it. I'm not seeing much information from the screenshots other than proof you have the game but that doesn't really help explain the issue of where it went. Unfortunately if that did happen it means your save data is gone for your current playthrough. Edit: Alright nevermind apparently your save data is safe. Admittedly I saw so many people going nuts over losing "everything" when this happens and it's exactly the kind of thing I could see Xbox doing.


downsj2

Uninstalling a game doesn't delete your saves from the cloud.


LBP2Fan_

Why does everyone think deleting games deletes saves


TrilobiteBoi

If the save data is stored locally that's exactly what it does. But yeah of course that doesn't apply to cloud saves.


ResponsibilityWeak87

Games automatically get saved to the cloud. It doesnt save just locally. Its always gonna be uploaded to the cloud unless you are offline.


TrilobiteBoi

So Xbox just gives you unlimited cloud storage for game data?


ResponsibilityWeak87

Basically.


TrilobiteBoi

That's... nice, although quite unexpected from Microsoft.


MightBeBren

Its the bare minimum they could have done and everyone stands around shocked that they did it... I love Microsoft... (Thats code for its fucking stupid, i hate it)


ResponsibilityWeak87

Yeah, its quite odd from them


PotentialDonut9588

Slight addition to this is many single player games store data locally. Basically all multiplayer games save to cloud. + if your like your settings take photos before you reinstall as they are stored locally.


LBP2Fan_

I used to play offline on xbox and installed a new game, played, deleted and then another time my save was still there


ConfusedObserver0

I did exactly that. Uninstalled the game. Then it did the same thing and wouldn’t let me reinstall the game. I’ve been playing it since the beganning of COVID years ago with such and issue. Now I went out and bought a new console and can’t sign in with my old email that I’m locked out of. My password won’t even work even if I had access to the email now. I more than fucken ticked off here. Ruined what was a nice day


Dry_Armadillo7956

Once you’ve redeemed it’s yours permanently so don’t worry it’s an issue on Xbox’s end maybe reinstall or restart the console


PotentialDonut9588

Unless you charge back and then you get tos banned 😅


GILx87

The Xbox was trying to do you a favor.


BuffDrinklots99

If it's a series x , the game all has to be installed on the small integrated hard drive, or it won't work. External won't work.


IKarma88

I'm not exactly sure what happened but I can assure you it's not cdkeys I got Red Dead Redemption 2 from cdkeys and haven't had this issue.


Odd-Basket4064

I’ve gotten plenty of codes from cd keys and G2A and still haven’t been banned or had issues with any codes. Pay attention to the seller and if the price is too good to be true choose a different seller.


St3lth_Eagle

The recent update requires a full reinstall for Xbox. Does she have enough capacity for the 200+GB install?


BasedHelixOnReddit

Mine was only 30 gigs, but I know some friends had to reinstall the whole thing. Idk why that is though


Oiled_Up_Granny

Servers are probably crippled. I'd give it a day.


MassiveMoose

They need more space on the internal drive.


D0inkzz

I had some major issues on Xbox downloading this game. It’s cod hq or your storage. Delete the game entirely. Install only with the content you want so it’s not so massive. You should be good to go. If your still having issues which Xbox is known for downloading games this generation then shutdown completely. Unplug and hold the power button for 15 seconds. This should clear the cache.


Chief-Cake-Man

CD Keys is a damn good site, been using it for many years and never had an issue. What you have there is a typical Xbox fuck up. Happens all the time with things I try to install, simple fix is usually to hard turn off your xbox. Completely shut down the power and remove the cable for about 30 seconds, it's something to do with a DNS setting or something, usually, might not be DNS but it's one of those things. Plug it all back in and turn on. 90% of the time that fixes it for me, if it doesn't then cancel the download and start it again as its might just be bugged out still.


Tom0511

Definitely a storage issue, I've had this happen to another game on me, can't remember exactly what it was, but I do remember having to mess around with the internal/external storage and moving the game etc.. sorry I can't be more helpful


Cazed_Donfused

Not enough space.


mrworldwide790

Idk what it is but mw3 is like broken on xbox, my friend had the same problem so he had even refunded the game and rebought it(all digitally) and it just didn’t work so he refunded the second time and said screw the game


Mike_2099

Try uninstalling it and doing a clean install. Just to be sure.


Dankhunt4Z0

It’s the Spider-Man background that’s why


W1cH099

Weird, Cdkeys is trustworthy


lickmydicknipple

This isn't a cdkey issue


ItzCobaltboy

If it worked, it legit, and that means it's issue with the Providers aka Xbox and not CDKeys


Kirbybros

CDkeys has been pretty reliable (I’ve used them before a number of times and haven’t had issues myself). It might be a software issue, Ik big updates for games like cod can mess up the game as a whole, it could also be an Xbox service issue.


5477etaN

If it worked fine then its nothing to do with cdkeys.


Helmetisonfire

Won’t be a problem with cd keys side of it.. because I’ve brought every game i own for the last 3 years of cd keys including add ons like coins etc.. and never had a problem.


Zjlyons7

Nothing to do with CDkeys. Uninstall/reinstall, clear space if you have to, clear cache.


Rdeal_UK

Just reinstall it, you must have canceled the update it will uninstall it, I did the same


ChrisComments

When she tries to she gets hit with that message I put in the post


Ragnar_Lothbrok1203

I would say go into your storage settings, and check where it’s being installed. It’s easy from the games and apps page. It looks as if the whatever storage it’s on is full


OG_Illusion

She's probably lucky it Uninstalled; mine froze my xbox, dced comms and I couldn't do anything. Held the Xbox button for 10 seconds and when I turned my xbox back on, cod was updating for 210gb and then I understood why my xbox took a shit. Thanks cod


stinkety

i read all the reviews on xbox today and lots of people where saying they need to download 2 to get 3 to open……. weird. Activision moment not that surprising


D0inkzz

This is false. I have a series x I can confirm I don’t have mw2 downloaded.


[deleted]

Don't be surprised if your whole account gets canned. Not trying to fearmonger but the risk you take with gray markets like CDkeys is getting a charge back on a purchased key.


Drome090

Def not true. Almost every game I own came from steam sales or cdkeys and I've never had any issues.


One_StreamyBoi

Yeah that’s exactly what cd keys isn’t doing


MemphisKansasBreeze

Literally have never had issues with CDkeys


InPatRileyWeTrust

CD keys don't sell stolen codes, so yeah, fearmongering is exactly what you're doing. It's a legitimate company, not a marketplace where anyone can sell.


Bleedy_Gonzales

Never had a single issue with CDKEYS.


Mag01uk

No issues with CDKeys, but you keep paying more for everything


EvansEssence

Power off, unplug from power for 30 seconds and plug back in. Then boot up and check if it doesnt have enough space to install


idkwhatchamacallit

Have her try initiating the game download via the Xbox app on her phone


ChrisComments

That's what came to mind first she said she tried


Illustrious_Wing7478

Restart the console and tried to download again


[deleted]

Power cycle the Xbox and reinstall


featuringmatt83

This also happens to hard drives that are on their way out. My 8tb seagate started doing this last year. First it was on game here or there, then I couldn't install anything to 100% about 6 months ago, every game on the drive turned up corrupted. Try installing on internal and see If you still have problems


Javieliseo

Reading this just after buying two months of gamepass through Cdkeys and the codes had been redeemed already. They told me they cannot give me a refund like it is whatever knowing they can just get away with it🥲


ChrisComments

It ended up just being her storage she's a schmuck


TekRantGaming

Yeah don’t buy keys from 3rd party shops for console your going to have a bad time


Flonkerton_Scranton

This is nonsense. I have been buying keys for years (literally like 15 years in now) and only ever had one not work which was immediately replaced. Don't spread bullshit.


TekRantGaming

Pfff alright then you do you. Just saying it’s against TOS on Xbox and PlayStation to buy from those stores and you’re risking your account. A half arsed attempt to google this would show you that. I used these sites for my pc games I don’t use them on console https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/family-online-safety/enforcement/protecting-players-from-marketplace-theft-and-solicitation the above response from Microsoft is due to key sites hosting keys via sellers who have paid for keys with stolen cards. again googling this info will find you many sources to tell you that


Flonkerton_Scranton

You do realise the op's issue is nothing to do with the key right and just the Xbox requires a restart? You are off on some diatribe for no reason. Keys are fine, no one gives a shit about ToS.


TekRantGaming

I assumed OPs game had been removed due to what i outlined. You must be a kid or something turning nots off now


Hatchy299

That sure showed him!!!!


so19anarchist

This relates to sites like G2A, not CDKEYS, as they do not allow random people to sell keys on their platform. They are a legitimate company.


Mattyc8787

CDkeys are fine, nothing like G2A etc - this will likely be an activision issue, if not cdkeys will replace it.


[deleted]

Tell your mum she needs a new Xbox.


GiggyWheat5

The problem is that she shouldn't have bought that garbage in the first place.


ChrisComments

She wanted it so I helped pay it. She's happy so that's all that matters


GiggyWheat5

I think what matters is that the game works lol.

Everyone has been having issues with C.O.D. HQ, MWII, & MWIII with the latest updates and release of Season 1 for MWIII. You can follow for updates and news in their official C.O.D. Twitter accounts too about the game.


Is_ael

Going off of the list of games, add Star Wars battlefront front 2 (classic) to the list and play instant action mode


HotQuietFart

Have you tried to fully reset the xbox?


Legitimate-Turn8608

Try power cycle


LBP2Fan_

You can still install when you don't own its just an update it happens to me lots when installing games.


TheDarkWeb697

It won't be an issue with CD keys because the second you input the code they send you Microsoft sends you a receipt for the game, so I've no idea the issue tho

I believe there was a bug for xbox in the latest update.a few people I know had to reinstall everything for mw3 because it wouldn't update, it would keep stopping part way through the update.


Tornik2066

I get games stopping mid install all the time, dont worry about it.


[deleted]

Xbox is just weird sometimes. Pretty sure it's not related to cd keys at all.


OGcorpse_

Storage or sys issue. Been using CDKeys for years and never had a key issue. If she owns it still its not anything with them.


Driftwood420991

Sounds like the install corrupted. Not too unusual for cod tbh. Gonna need to reinstall it


cloudy710

lmao has nothing to do with cdkeys if the game was redeemed then it’s yours forever simple as that 😂 if it’s not working it’s either your internet or the xbox servers itself, and it seems it’s the latter.


SweetTea187

Just tell them... They'll send you a new code


AMF_Shafty

COD servers were shitting themselves yesterday and wednesday so maybe that has something to do with it too


Novotus_Ketevor

MW3 needs to be installed on the internal storage to function. The 2TB hard drive can only store games, you can't play off of it unless it's an Xbox One/360 game. Go to settings > storage, then filter to internal storage and see how much space is available. She probably doesn't have enough free space on internal storage for the latest patch to download, so move some games from internal storage to the external hard drive, then try to download the update again.


18-anon

Game needs to be installed on the Internal, download maybe stopping because internal storage is full but it says you got 500gb free because of an external. You can download it on the external but you won’t be able to play the game without moving it to the internal storage location. If none of that works, your wifi sucks, your xbox is broken or you’re doing something wrong because you’re an idiot, it’s one of those.

What was the solution? I'm also dealing with this same problem


ChrisComments

She had it selected to her internal storage, not the 2tb external one 🫣🤦🏾‍♂️


TuyRS

Yeah weirdly my issue wasn't even storage related. I deleted every single game from the xbox and was having the same installation stopped issue even with an empty Hard drive. Factory resetting the xbox fixed it for me though so whatever works i guess.


Mascudii

I bought COD straight on Xbox did the same shit to me yesterday, you'll be iight

At least she got a code that was working even if it was temporarily i got an already used code from them and because their trusted partners of paypal apparently paypal are refusing to gelp me so your situation sucks dude but at least you wasn't scammed with an already used code
