The other day, I told you all how my Xbox was currently indisposed on the eve of Forza 7's release. Well, since then, I’ve tried a few new remedies, and I’ve gotten nowhere. Today, I caved, and chatted with Xbox Customer Support, and here’s what they told me.
So, one of the means by which I learned this issue could be fixed is by using a Windows PC to format the console and download the update that way. This is a great idea and all, but there’s an issue...I use Mac (I know, I know, but I’m not about to switch back to PC over this). The main issue at stake here seems to be that I have shitty internet, which is causing the update to error out.
Due to the lack of PC, I’m left with one of three options:
I can find and ask a personal friend with a Windows PC to do the formatting and downloading for me
I can go to a place of better internet, lugging my Xbox and TV along, to download it there
I can travel to Atlanta to one of the Microsoft stores and have them take care of it.
And that’s where I stand now.
On the bright side of things, I restarted a new career in Gran Turismo 6, which is easily beating out Forza on a personal level right now.

A week ago my Xbox was throwing up error E105 which basically means a system update had corrupted and the box would need resetting which after downloading 67GB of Forza 7 I wasn’t exactly amused by.
Fortunately and I’m not sure when this became a thing but Xboxes don’t delete games on the harddrive when reset. So I just needed a firmware update which while wasn’t exactly quick was certainly not the worst case scenario.
My bugbear is that I’m stumbled upon this since it’s mentioned no where on Xbox support.

Maybe call a local library to see if they’ll let you. Or just get a friend with Win10 to do it.
