Update Failed Error In Doom: The Dark Ages
Some players are having trouble updating Doom: The Dark Ages on Xbox Game Pass for PC.
When trying to update the game, the Xbox app shows a message that says: “Wait a few minutes and try that again. The update failed. Error code: 0x80073cf3.”
This error prevents the update from completing, and the help link in the Xbox app does not provide a real solution.
Many players believe the issue is caused by the game being preloaded. The Xbox app might think it still needs an update, even though all the game files are already on your computer.
Fixing The Update Failed Error In Doom: The Dark Ages
Some players said they fixed the problem by canceling the update. They noticed that after canceling, the game showed up as fully installed and ready to go.
Furthermore, they had nearly 70 GB of Doom files on their PC, so even though it looked like the update failed, it had worked in the background.
You can also fix the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling the game. As a result, you will most likely launch the game without any errors, fully updated, after you reinstall it.
Players are still unsure of what exactly is causing the error, but both of these fixes seem to be working.
Finally, if these fixes do not work, players might have to wait for a future patch to solve the problem.
