I'm really curious if Microsofts games sold on Steam will be fully moddable win32 games. If so, I'm fine with this to be honest. Depending on the game, I can choose between buying it on Steam or renting it with Game Pass.
Yeah. My workaround for this has been to play games with Mouse and Keyboard instead. But it's ehhhh.
Can't you simply use 3rd party app like DS4Windows for proper controller support?
I did, but everything was still messed up in Slay the Spire. That could be an issue specific for that game though. I'm waiting for Forza, Sea of Thieves and Metro to download to see if those work. Void Bastards I assume has native DS4 support in the game which is why it worked with no issue.
The true Win32 titles are kept in ModifiableWindowsApps. The name really explains itself I think, lol. Would expect official mod support like Steam Workshop within the next few months.
I still have to drink pretty hard to forget about how much I miss Windows Phone 8.1, but it's a step in the right direction. Very interested to see if the next Xbox has a unique app type again but that's probably a topic for another thread.
Glad to see I'm not the only one being strongly bummed out by the subscription's weird DRM scheme. It's stupid as hell and easily circumventable but the possible intent scares me.Alright, so I've tried The Surge and wanted to play it with my Steam Controller.
The game itself is a regular Win32 program, but it's still in that stupid oversecured WindowsApp folder.
Can't add it as a non-Steam game because the application doesn't have permission to open the exe. Hurray.
...You are so close Microsoft, so close! :/
I remembered there is GloSC, so I installed that, but same thing. Ironically GloSC supports UWP games, but that doesn't work either because The Surge is win32
Also I can see how Game Pass makes people buy more games (according to Microsoft). Like, I've tried The Surge now and can see that I'd definitely enjoy that, but it's a long and difficult game and I don't plan to sub to Game Pass forever, so having it in my library and being able to go at it on my own pace will be preferable.
I guess in a sense for some games it's just a glorified paid demo service for me, lol.
Just seeing this now, I've got a spare Humble Bundle Steam key you can have for The Surge. I'll shoot it over to you this evening sometime.Alright, so I've tried The Surge and wanted to play it with my Steam Controller.

Should be possible with GoG 2.0.
I changed ownership of WindowsApps to my user in file -> properties -> security -> advanced. And my user is in the Adminstrators group, so seems like it ought to work?
If you right click the folder>properties>securities and hit advance, what does it say for owner?
There's this if you're feeling lazy like me.

Oh I did it just fine. I only had to do it because an update reset settings, the one that enables the feature that lets your PC share files of installs. So if you delete a game from gamepass it just moved it to the folder named Delete. So I had to disable settings and go in and delete the stuff in it.
It says it's owned by Administrators. However, I don't have full control over the file and can't seem to change that.
Yea that won't work. It basically needs to be under your user name. Even if that account is an admin.
It's a breezy and well put-together little video, actually - I've wasted 19 minutes on far worse!
lol went to purchase and saw this
