Xbox Live Text Support Number

Here are the direct links to contact the Xbox Live Enforcement Team, just remember that unlike Xbox Support, the Xbox Live Policy & Enforcement Team (XBLPET) has no live chat or phone number, the only thing you can use to contact them is by submitting a case review if you’re eligible. XBOX 360 Customer Support is AWESOME I just wanted to say that my review of XBOX live customer service is an A, I wanted xbox live for a year for a discounted rate and there was absolutely no problems with that.

Why does Crackdown 3 appear as two tiles in my game library?

Crackdown 3 is made up of two different modes, each with their own tile allowing you to quickly access the one you want to play:

  • Campaign: Time to step up your boom and stop crime as a super-powered Agent in Crackdown 3’s open-world sandbox of mayhem and destruction. Explore the heights of New Providence, tear up the streets in iconic vehicles, and use your powerful abilities to stop a ruthless criminal empire. Play the campaign solo or with a friend in co-op mode. Online multiplayer requires Xbox Live Gold subscription (sold separately).
  • Wrecking Zone: Test your skills in this innovative and explosive 5v5 multiplayer competition where destruction is your ultimate weapon against friends and rivals.

  • In this bundle allows individual downloads for Campaign and Wrecking Zone

Xbox One

  • Press the Xbox button and select Store

I was prompted to upgrade my Windows device to play Crackdown 3. Which version do I need?

To download and install Crackdown 3 on Windows 10, you need a device running version 1703, with OS Build 15063 or later.

Additionally, your device must be running a 64-bit version of Windows 10. If you have a 32-bit version, you won’t be able to play Crackdown 3.

To see whether you’re running an appropriate version of Windows on your device:

  1. Go to Start > Settings > System > About.
  2. Look at Edition to find out which version and edition of Windows your PC is running. Make sure this is at least 1703.
  3. Look at OS Build and make sure this is at least 15063.
  4. Look at System type to see if you’re running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Windows.

If you don’t see a version listed, you need to update before you can download the game. There are a couple of ways you can do this:

  • Go to Start > Settings > Update & security > Windows Update. Check to see if any relevant updates are available.

If it’s been less than 31 days since you upgraded to Windows 10, you won’t get the November update right away. This is to allow you to go back to your previous version of Windows if you choose. After the 31 days have passed, your PC will automatically download the November update.

  • See the Windows Update: FAQ page to upgrade your device to Windows 10 with the latest update.

If you have version K or KN of Windows 10, you may need to download additional software. These are available as a free download. To do this, go to Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 N and Windows 10 KN editions (November 2015).

Common Issues

I can’t Download/Install the game!

If you are having trouble downloading or installing Crackdown 3, please attempt the below troubleshooting steps.

The app won’t download or won’t install after downloading.
  1. Restart the Microsoft/Xbox One Store app.
    • If you can’t download or install, this is the first thing to try. If the download stops partway through, you may need to restart the app again.
  2. The app crashes and sends me to the Microsoft Store. (Error 0x803F8001)
    • In many cases, the process of installing a different app from the Microsoft Store may resolve the underlying issues preventing Crackdown 3 from launching. This should help any users who are seeing the 0x803F8001 error.
  3. Install any free app from the Microsoft Store.
    • Open the Microsoft Store app and click on the profile picture in the top right corner.
    • If you have multiple accounts signed in, sign out of all accounts except your primary Xbox live account associated with your gamer profile.
    • Next, in the Microsoft Store download and install any free app (such as Microsoft Ultimate Word Games).
    • Once installation is complete, navigate to the Microsoft Store “Library” page and launch Crackdown 3.

The app crashes soon after launch, or when trying to start a game.

There are several potential solutions to this issue. Please try the following steps in order:

  1. Check system requirements.
    • A significant number of crashes at launch are due to the game being launched on a PC that does not meet the minimum system requirements. Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements to run the game, including your version of Windows 10.
      • Update Windows 10 if necessary. Instructions can be found here.
  2. Update your display drivers.
    • Some known issues have been traced to outdated display drivers. Depending on your graphics card manufacturer you should be able to update your drivers by visiting their web page.
      • To find your graphics card manufacturer, type “Device Manager” into the Search Window on your Taskbar, then select “Device Manager” (should be the best match from your search). Once in the Device Manager, open the “Display Adapter” drop down to see your PC’s graphics card.
  3. Check your antivirus settings.
    • Some antivirus programs may prevent the game from launching. Check your antivirus settings to make sure Crackdown 3 is not being blocked.
    • Add the game to any whitelist feature in your antivirus program.
    • Here are a few particular antivirus programs with potential conflicts, and resolution steps for each:
      • Please note: Disable anti-virus at your own risk

      • Comodo: disable shellcode injection detection.
      • F–secure: Crackdown 3 must be added to the program’s whitelist.
  4. Switch from a local account to a Microsoft account.

    • o You can add your Microsoft account as an additional account through Windows Start -> Settings -> Accounts -> Family and Other People. Add it as a standard user, and make sure you verify your account after signing in for the first time on your device. To do this go to Windows Start -> Settings -> Accounts -> Your info and follow the verification procedure.
