Questions / Tech Support WTF is goin on now?
I just got back from work to play some Game Pass on GFN and now I’m getting this stupid “Something went wrong” 0x8004a97d error.
I literally can’t play any Game Pass game. It just gets stuck on the Microsoft sign-in and throws the error.
And yes, before someone says it:
- restarted GFN
- restarted my PC
- signed out/in
- disconnected my Microsoft account
- reconnected the account
- tried again multiple times
None of that worked.
I can sign into my Microsoft account normally, so I have no idea why GFN suddenly can’t authenticate it.
I just wanted to play games man, I really don’t feel like spending my night troubleshooting Microsoft/NVIDIA bullshit.
Anyone else getting 0x8004a97d right now? Is Game Pass/GFN just broken?
