Hi guys temp fix to make your games load and stop freezing on start up.
Sign out of your profile, load the game up and then sign back in.
It should work as i have been trying to play fifa for hours then tried this and works.
Im guessing that it will work for all games apps and other media you want to play.
Not sure if someone has already suggested this BTW.

Does anyone else have to re enter their password and email? Then once it's complete it kicks you offline again?
