    Error 0x8000FFFF: Catastrophic Failure

    Hi Paty,

    The Error 0x8000FFFF: Catastrophic Failure may have occurred due to the recent change on your PC or the issue came from the USB Drive itself. To isolate your concern, we'd like to ask the following:

    • Have you tried to use the USB Drive and create a new folder on a different PC?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far to resolve the issue?

    We look forward to your response.

    error 0x800ffff:catastrophic error when trying to make a new folder

    Why do I get error 0x800ffff while installing something, and not install?

    Hi,

    The error code 0x800ffff may occur if your storage device does not have enough space to save your files. To better assist you with your concern, please clarify the following information:

    • On which device are you trying to install the game?
    • Are you installing the game from a disc or a digital copy?
    • Are you getting the same error code when installing a different game or app on your device?
