The fourth installment of the Age of Empire series is out and it’s already a massive hit with over 60K concurrent players on Steam the last time we checked. The game is mostly bug-free with very few errors, but some players are unable to link their Xbox Live profile. When you try to link, you can get one of two error codes – C00T01R-1X-13 52656C6903A8 and C25T05R01X-01 52656C6102B1. The devs are aware of the issue and have listed the Age of Empire 4 Unable to link Xbox Live Profile to Steam as one of the primary issues under investigation.
Age of Empire 4 Unable to link Xbox Live Profile to Steam Fix
If you just started to play the game and attempted to link the Steam and Xbox Live account and got the error, know that it’s a widespread issue and does not affect you alone. As mentioned earlier, it’s one of the main issues under investigation by the devs. For updates on the issue from the dev, you can check the official link.
While there are a bunch of solutions recommended on the web, none of them work to resolve the error as it’s entirely on the dev’s side. You cannot do anything other than use the above link for updates on the situation from the devs.
While you are at it, we suggest that you run the Xbox Live troubleshooter, in rare case, the problem might be with the app. You can find the troubleshooter from the Xbox Networking settings. Clearing the cache from the browser is something that can also help. The bad cache can cause problems logging in. Finally, ensure that the PC’s clock is synced and set to automatic.
For most users, you will have to wait for a solution from the developers and don’t need to do anything on your end.
