Mech Warrior 5 Mercenaries are among the games that some gamers have encountered problems with. Some reported that the game just stops responding with no apparent reason or cause. There are even users who said they just lose control of the game. 

It can be very annoying if the game just stops working while you’re playing with it, but most of the time, it’s not really a serious problem. A couple of procedures may fix the problem and you can enjoy the game once again. 

So if you’re one of the gamers that’s having a problem like this, here are things you should do: 

Fix #1: Force stop Mech Warrior 5 and reopen it

If the game stopped responding while you’re playing with it, then you have no other choice but to close it and then reopen it. But that, in fact, is the most effective solution to this kind of problem because most of the time, the game crashes due to a minor technical issue, and restarting it can get rid of the problem.

Fix #2: Reboot your Xbox Series S

After doing the first solution and Mech Warrior 5 continues to crash while you’re gaming with it, then the problem can be due to an issue with your console. Thus the next thing you have to do is to restart your Xbox Series S. Here’s how:

Fix #3: Check your Internet connection

  2. Highlight Settings and press A to open it.

  4. Select Test network connection. If it says your console is connected to the Internet, then try doing a speed test. 
  5. Select Test network speed & statistics, and wait until the speed test is completed. 

For connection issues, try power-cycling your router or modem to refresh the connection between your console and network devices. If the problem isn’t fixed, then call your Internet Service Provider and have it fixed. 

However, if your console shows it has a fast and stable Internet connection, then move on to the next solution. 

Fix #4: Uninstall Mech Warrior 5 and reinstall it

If the problem continues even after doing the previous solutions, then you have no other choice but to uninstall the game and reinstall it. Uninstalling the game will erase all its installation files and associations with the system and other apps, and reinstalling it means you’re using the updated version. Now here’s how you uninstall Mech Warrior 5 from your Xbox Series S:
