      I'm starting the game via Gamepass and as soon as the titlescreen comes, I must press a button and then a window pops up and tells me the game can't verify if I do own the game on my Xbox account or not, and that I must connect to internet, which I am.

      I linked a screencapture that's written in french, because my account's on a french computer.
