Re: [XSX] BF2042 won't install, update, or launch

@EA_LeeuwConsole is fully up to date. Other games install, run, and update just fine.

UPDATE: I figured it out. The problem is that whenever X/S Enhanced games are installed to an X/S console with an external drive set as the default installation location, the installation silently fails as described. To fix the issue:

  1. If the game tile is present in My Games & Apps, select it and uninstall it completely
  2. Eject the game disc
  3. Enter Settings -> System -> Storage
  4. Set the internal or expansion SSD as the default installation location
  5. Insert the game disc. Installation should start
  6. When installation is complete, launch the game. This should produce an update prompt.
  7. Tap Update
  8. The game update should download and install normally
  9. When the update is complete, the game should be playable normally
