Yes that's what I said.
I have the discs, I insert the discs, nothing comes up, so I went to the store, and both games are now unavailable to purchase. What I was saying before is that usually when you insert a disc, the game installs. However, it is now totally unavailable in the store. Are you telling me that if it's unavailable in the store, that it will install anyway when a disc is inserted? Because that's what isn't happening. There is no option on an Xbox One to download manually with a disc, without using the store, for obvious DRM reasons.
My console is newly updated and this problem has persisted over months. The reason nobody else has had this problem is likely because not many people uninstalled the game and then tried to reinstall them now they've been made "unavailable". I'll try power-cycling and checking my account but I have no other issues with any games that aren't UFC 1 or UFC 2. 3 is available and is redownloadable too. I'll update when I've tried these fixes too.
Thanks
Community ManagerHey. Thanks for following up.
No I tried all those suggestions and none of them changed it.
UFC 1, 2 and 3 are "currently unavailable" on my Xbox One, with a disc, on two seperate accounts. And 1, 2 and 3 are also "currently unavailable" on the PS4 store too. I doubt it's my console since I've updated it, power cycled it, not to mention the games aren't available to buy on my phone online either for both stores.
Unless EA retroactively region locked the games for Oceania only (which is terrible considering I spent significant money buying all 3 games new), or its unavailable for more than just my region.
It sucks because of the downward trajectory of the series. UFC 1 sucked compared to Undisputed 3 or even EA MMA and the Fight Night series, UFC 2 was the height of the series (which the features slowly being stripped away in follow ups), and 3 and 4 were rinse and repeat cash grabs. Luckily you guys heard our complaints about buying movies as microtransactions in 3, only to then drop a bunch of awful looking cosmetics, in a sport with a regulated uniform (which isn't a feature anymore, you actually can't even choose the shorts fighters actually wear! Only denim bs and holographic underpants...)
I'm a massive MMA and UFC fan, so I would buy any combat sports game (and I have!). Either theplentiful bugs, awful ground game, and lack of general content in 4 improves miraculously, or the other games become available again. Otherwise I'll have to switch back to Undisluted 3 on my PS3, and avoid EA from now on. The games don't even have to be good, they just have to work.
Community ManagerHey.
Look I'll reach out to Microsoft and Sony support, but it doesn't seem logical. If I cant buy the games on either console, across 3 accounts, or anonymously online, then it has nothing to do with European region locks. I bought the games from Oceania for Oceania. How could my account be responsible if I cant find an option to byt the games on ANY device, even annoymenously. It seems like the games are just unavailable, across both stores, on PS and Xbox. I dont know how that would occur for several unrelated accounts, unless its region locked now for here, or has been made unavailable by noth stores simultaneously. What am I supposed to say to Microsoft or Sony support? That the games dont work across all consoles and platforms for me, across multiple accounts, and are unavailable to by online from a seperate account. Unless I'm being tracked and blocked by both stores, it can't be a problem on my end.
Thanks.
