I bought the Hot Wheels DLC a short while ago and really enjoy it. Since then, I bought the NASCAR pack and had no issues until an update that I installed last night. Now, suddenly, the Hot Wheels cars are in my garage, but are labeled DLC. I can’t race with them.
When I select one, i get the pop-up prompt to buy the car or the pack.
Help!
Try doing a system reset (hard boot) exactly as below:
1 – from the Dashboard, out of all games, hold the X button on the front of the console down until it shuts the system down.
2 – Disconnect the external power from the wall plug (or at least disconnect the wall-side connector on the power pack itself.
3 – WAIT until all power drains from the external power pack (no light, either white or dull orange showing on the pack).
4 – Reconnect the power supply to the electrical outlet.
5 – Restart the console in the usual manner, i.e., either with the controller or a short push on the X button on the front of the X1.
6 – WAIT until the console self-checks and fully boots to the Dashboard before attempting anything.
If you don’t disconnect the external power pack and let the power completely drain out, the system is still retaining “old” stuff and not resetting.
10-4. I normally do a full shut down but for whatever reason, totally removing power was what it needed. Thank you.
Excellent, and precisely why I posted the full instructions. Unless all steps are completed, the system check doesn’t get done at all.
The issue raises it’s head often on my sons Forza 5. The only way that works for him is to delete the DLC and then redownload it.
