I shut down my Xbox at 65% because you guys said it would corrupt. I just migrated, I'm hoping it will pass the 80%. Right now, I'm at 67%.

That's pretty much what I did, it completed just as it hit 80%, which must be the point when it verifies your location.

I'm now playing AC3
 
For what its worth, I downloaded it when the thread was still at 3-4 pages, took about an hour, worked then and still working fine now. playing this second.

game doesn't show for me in the last game downloaded..where i find it?

even if maybe i made a crazy stupid thing not selectin my country when i changed region...
 
Been at work this whole time. i have it sitting in my queue and just migrated the account. It is still in the queue even after migration. Here's hoping things work out when I get home in 6 hours.

ok..back into download..but i probably screwed up because i choosed united states as my new region and i'm from europe..i don't even know why,i choose the first one who seemed good,but i will probably fail the check again
 
Got round to giving mine a game after playing some FIFA... And the file was corrupt :-(

Changed my region to uk and its now re downloading the full game. Although it says I have already purchased it what are the chances of it downloading and me being able to play it?

Currently at 4%

I'd say the chances are almost 100%
 
I migrated when I first setup the account because I thought that's what I was supposed to do and now it won't let me migrate for 3 months. Lol oh well try again in June I guess.

Wait before you can migrate again ( to the right country ), it should be possible but there's a delay. And hope the game stays in your download list.

Doesn't work when migrated for me.
Made a Chinese account, tried to download it, failed at 80% just like everyone. Migrated the account (to UK) and failed again at 80%. :(

So anyone know a way to fix it? I have it in my download history and my account is UK, but still fails at 80%.

the delay is three months if i have understood well..for that time microsoft will find a way to fix this :(

anyone who doesn't already have made migration and want to exchange accounts?it should technically be possible right?

Interesting. First report of that in this thread I think.

My download won't finish for another 12 or so hours, so i'm hoping it works not so much so that I can play it, but so that i'm not tying up my connection for 12 hours :p

One more time. Make sure you delete the data from the HDD before you do though

That's what I did the first time and I just did it again. I hope it works but I doubt it. I think the problem is that I migrated the account when there was no active download, I did it after it failed the 80% (it was in my download history though and a 7.7gb unusable Assassins Creed III file on my HDD). Or actually...

I think it's important that you set the new country (migrate country) to the same as your other account. I didn't (I'm Dutch and set it to UK) and it failed. A friend of mine did and it works at him, so that might be the problem, fuck me.

I think GoD are pre patched, Tekken was.

I'm glad I jumped on this when it was mentioned in the Doritos thread. I just loaded up the title screen this morning and all looks good. Now I can see how bad it apparently is (after I finish Witcher 2).

Download compete and playing now!

Thanks GAF! :D

edit: has no patches been released or do GOD have them already installed?

I think it comes with it, I wasn't prompted to install a patch when I launched the game but in the Storage section of the settings a Title Update is listed with the game.

Sorry for spamming the thread, but is there any way to change your region again? I don't want to wait another 90 days...

Can I create a chinese account, get the game and give that account to a friend to download the game since I already have AC3 retail?

It worked for me earlier without doing any migration thing you guys are doing. Will try again later but earlier I tested and saw the title screen on my chinese account.

The account migration worked for me too! A title 9mb title update was downloaded along the game it seems too.
