Remove Saved Local Games Data

The problem may lie in the game data, as it may have become corrupt. So, we cleared the locally saved game data to counter this error, and it worked. A few Forum users, like User SnackPack816 and User Durlcear, confirmed the validity of this method on different threads.

Here is how to remove saved local game data: 

  1. Press the “Xbox Button” on your controller to access the guide.
  2. Navigate to “Profile & System> Settings > System > Storage.”
  3. Choose the option “Clear Local Saved Games.”

  4. Afterward, attempt to launch your game using the newly cleared savegame cache.

Use An External Hard Drive

The internal hard drive may be low on data, thus leading up to this error. Therefore, we connected a compatible external drive and then restarted our Xbox, and the error did not show up again. 

Perform A Reset 

We found that soft resetting the Xbox solves this error. We performed an Xbox reset by keeping the games and apps, which proved effective. However, if the soft reset didn’t yield the desired results, there’s a strong possibility of an issue with the game copy itself. To address this, you might consider initiating a hard reset, essentially starting anew.

WARNING: Back up your data before a hard reset since it wipes out all personal data.

Furthermore, you can visit the official Xbox Support website and solicit their assistance regarding this issue. Be sure to communicate the solutions you’ve already attempted.
