How many tries does switching between Motorsport and Horizon take you? For me I’d say it’s between 30-40 times to make either play. Tonight it took 73 ejections. I’m signed in and connected to the internet and I obviously own the games. Is there a trick?

Call Microsoft?
The use of a disc, the functioning of the disc-drive and the “linking” to your gamertag & HDD, is all in the firmware.

You may not be waiting long enough. Once the disc is in, the Xbox will look like it’s doing nothing for short while before it actually reacts. If you had time to eject it 73 times that would suggest you’re not even giving it enough time. Leave it, for up a minute if need be, just to be sure it’s not just being slow. You maye actually break it constantly ejecting all the time, and then Microsoft will likely not fix it.
Just make sure it’s given a chance to read the disc, Blu-Ray drives are slower than DVD drives for seeking etc, that’s why they have to be installed.

I have the digital version of F5 and a hard copy of H2, sometimes the F5 is a bit sluggish to load if I’m switching from H2 but nothing more the a min. at best

It takes me more time to find the disk, get it out of the box, and insert it for the game to register with the XBox. If the wait time gets too long for you, hit it with a hammer. If it does not work after that, you needed a new one.

I always wait for it to do whatever it is trying to do. I will either get a message telling me that it is not an Xbox game, or one asking me if I own the game. Both are ridiculous messages.

it sounds like you have a faulty console…i’ve had 2 already (both faulty drives)
contact Microsoft support and get it exchanged before your discs get damaged as well

I had a faulty console, it wouldn’t pick up the disk, then a bit later got stuck on the green screen of death (google it)
I Called Microsoft, they told me they would send a new console, I pay £350 (UK) holding fee until I send back my old console to them,
It took 3 days to get back up and running , nice service I thought

well they offer 2 services, the slow way is you send your old xb1 to them, once they receive it then they send the new xb1 back to you , it takes 4-6 weeks but it is free
the advanced service is , you pay the holding fee and your new xb1 is sent out the same day

… I just want to add that you do get your holding fee back after you send your old xb1 back to Microsoft , so both services are free , if you follow me

My day-one Xbone died after three days, so I did the “quick exchange” as well - the only thing I would add to Gemma’s info is that rather than take the £350, they put a holding charge on my credit card - this means that the money was reserved to them if they asked for it, but no charge was actually made. So you don’t have to worry about interest or anything like that (as long as you send them the broken console as agreed!). They’re just making sure that they can take the money if you try to pull a fast one.

I’d contact Microsoft, friend. That, or Voodoo.

I wondered how the day one editions would hold out…

Better than some recent batches for the recenty renewed regional releases. And we see 1 topic here with roughly 5 defects. On a community of what? Few million FM5/FH2-buyers? Big deal…

And no one here is making a big deal. But when it’s your own problem it can seem like one.
Just wondering; T10 makes games. Microsoft makes consoles. Why would people argue here about defects when it only distracts from the purpose of this specific publisher/website?
