Like many of you, been having issues with Outer Worlds from PC gamepass beta recently. I downloaded and installed without issue through the microsoft store, which from what I'm reading sounds like a minor miracle in itself.
When I go to run it, the game launches correctly and leads me to the main menu, then prompts me to sign in to xbox live. Then something odd happens - my PC ethernet adapter gets disconnected and I lose internet access. Nothing I can do reverses this except restarting the PC. I've tried this 4-5 times, same results.
Other games launched through microsoft xbox services on my PC work fine, and I can sign in normally to xbox live, so this is an Outer Worlds specific issue.
I've spent 4+ hours total with MS support, tried everything including disabling other software, unblocking xbox ports in my router settings, editing win10 registry keys, uninstalling and re-installing microsoft xbox software on my PC.
That's a lot of time spent on something that should work out of the box - anyone from Obsidian have anything to say about this before I get a refund?
E: refunded the game. Can't expect customers to spend hours troubleshooting when there are so many other options available these days. Will avoid until steam release, maybe procure elsewhere
