Xbox One Backwards Compatibility (Sign in Connection Error)?

  1. The issue is that when I am signed into my xbox one and try to start a 360 game that has been digitally downloaded on to my account (i.e. Fallout 3 or Mirrors Edge) It loads up perfectly and enters the 'Getting Your Xbox 360 Info' screen. The load never completes, it doesn't even make a dent in the loading bar and then the whole screen fades to black and starts the game. Well at that point the emulator isn't signed in, but my xbox one has me signed in perfectly, and I'm sitting on the games main menu. The games main menu won't load a game since I'm not signed in and accordingly asks me to sign in, but there are no profiles to sign into and it won't download any because there is "no connection to xbox live."

    This issue has been going on since bc was released and I have searched the internet many many times for an answer, but the only forum post that seem like it would fix was over 5 months ago. Everyone was using the NXOE Preview program at that time and the link sent me to the closed forum. The xbox support team never fixed it after being in chat with them for a little over an hour..

    It just seems as if the bc emulator is having trouble connecting to the internet.

Accepted Answer

  1. It seems to be an ongoing issue when there are dashboard/system updates pushed to the console. In one update, this issue is fixed, then on another update it occurs again.

    Just be sure to press the Menu + Guide Button when launching a Backwards Compatible X360 game to check your online sign-in status until they fully rectify the issue.

  1. Power-cycle your Xbox console

  3. Clear local Xbox 360 storage (for Xbox One)
  4. Remove and re-add Xbox profile
  5. Check if the game supports Smart Delivery (for Xbox Series X|S)
  6. Reset Xbox console

Let’s take a look at the description of the process involved concerning each of the listed solutions.

1] Power-cycle your Xbox console

You can begin troubleshooting to fix the error message Sorry, this profile can’t connect to Xbox Live on this console by power-cycling your Xbox console.

Do the following:

  • Press and hold the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds to turn off your console.
  • Unplug your Xbox from the mains.
  • Wait at least 30-60 seconds.
  • Once the time elapses, plug your Xbox back into the power outlet.

Try the next solution if the error persists.

2] Check Xbox server status

You may encounter the issue in view due to a temporary problem with the Xbox Live servers, preventing you from playing backward compatible games – this is typically due to there’s a scheduled maintenance period or there’s some kind of unexpected outage issue caused by a DDoS attack or an unexpected problem with the servers in your area/region.

Basically, if the core services are down, your game ownership will not be validated, so you will not be able to play the backward-compatible game. In this case, you can check the Xbox Live status at support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status and verify if any core services are currently not operational or are functioning with limited capabilities. If all services are up and running, you can try playing the game again. On the other hand, if the servers are down, there isn’t much else you can do other than wait for Microsoft’s engineers to fix the problem – and keep checking the Xbox Status page regularly until you see the server is back online and all services are running.

3] Clear local Xbox 360 storage (for Xbox One)

  • Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
  • Navigate to the rightmost menu and click on the Settings icon.
  • Next, navigate to SystemStorage to open System Storage.
