On your Xbox One consoles, hover over the game tile you wish to close from the Home dashboard, and then press the Menu button on your controller and select Quit. Now, open the game again and see if it works.
If you are playing on a PC, you need to close the app and open the app again and see if the game starts working now or not.
2. Restart your Device
Once you have restarted the game, as we mentioned above, and it did not work as expected, you can also restart your device to see if it works.
