Yeah I was getting a bit despondent about having to repeat sections more than three times. They really throw the baddies at you this time and not enough ammo.

Anyone else having trouble connecting to Live services in Doom Eternal. Keeps saying cannot connect right now?!

The 10MB is just the DRM & digital certificates for the SP campaign I had that entry as well as 2 x 56GB when I viewed the game pass download progress.

I still didn't see the 2x bit. I noticed this morning it has downloaded the battlemode (which it reckoned was 56 and then I just had to do the 10mb one to unlock the campaign).

I managed to bag the 3 months for £1. This is just ridiculous. I haven't paid more than £1 for a month of Game Pass since it started. I only sub every 3 or so months though. And EA's catalogue is coming in 11 days. The only downside is I don't trust any game installation that's bigger than 50GB or so. Gears 4 download ended up crashing at the 90GB mark and decided to restart from the beginning. What a crock. So it got deleted. For the love of god, MS need to get Game Pass on Steam like EA Play has.

This would be the holy grail.

I've got no issue with using Steam competitors. But Windows Store is just turd. And it severely limits Game Pass game selection too. Even Epic Games Store would be an improvement

I played it a while back and died a lot, but unlike most games I didn't seem to care as I found I was just really enjoying myself even if I had to keep trying again.

You using the xbox app or the Microsoft game store the Microsoft game store seems to be a lot more stable and downloads quicker game pass still works on there

Both but the system is supposedly designed for small apps not massive games. It's easily the worst downloader I've ever used.

Have you tried the beta app? You might find that more stable.

How do you keep getting it for £1 ? isnt it for new members only ?

Maybe the 3-4 months in between subscriptions resets some timer. I do flip between Game Pass for PC and Ultimate though. One of them always seems to be £1.

Doom Eternal needs windows 10 build number 19042 apparently or the Xbox Live integration does not work

|Update your windows 10 to that build its only a Win 10 game on game pass. I would update if I could but MS block the latest update from systems with certain hardware combinations :rolleyes:

ic1male · 6 Dec 2020 at 11:44

Oh, I never noticed! I'm on 19041. Going to update to this 20H2 now.

EDIT: That didn't feel like anything substantial, only took 60 seconds.
