Plants vs Zombies Xbox One Split Screen can't add a guest

Xbox One Plants vs Zombies: Garden warfare

I can't play in Split Screen mode because I can't "add a guest".  Kids frustrated.  We just want to play the game locally.  Yes, I have a Live account.  Yes, my internet is working.  Yes, I tried re-booting my Xbox.  Threw salt over my left shoulder, etc.  

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

  • What do you mean you can't "add a guest"? It wont let you select it on the second controller?

    Does it give you a message or anything?

    You need more than one profile on the xbox one.

    Turn on Xbox One.  Load disk.  First menu option I choose split screen.  I'm logged in as one of the players.  The game asks me to "select A to Join".  When I do that, I've got options of adding a person (logging someone else in too), adding a guest, cancelling, and something else.  I want to let a guest play.  When I hit that option, I get a grey screen.  It immediately says "...something happened...if you try again I'm sure it will work".  I hit "ok" and then I get a grey screen with the white circle spinning...which it does until infinity.  Clearly there's a bug somewhere.  I've tried all of the other options.

    Game was new on Saturday.  I downloaded the PvZ download...something like 2.6GB.  I also checked and I've got the 4/14/14 Xbox One update.  I should be current.

    Help!

  • After a quick search, I've found that this issue occurs for other games aswell.

     

    The fix says to:

    - Turn off the console, holding the power button for 5 seconds

    - Unplug the Power cord

    - Wait for a minute or two

    - Plug the Power back in

    - Boot console
