It's just windowed full screen, or at least that's how it is on my end.

Thank you for reply. Unfortunately this does not bode well for SLI :(
Traditional win32 apps(or nvidia drivers...no idea) do not like windowed mode if you using multigpu setup.

It is really not fair that we westerners have to pay a 5 times higher price for all games. International trade regulations should make sure that a free international trade between markets is always possible so that we can always buy for the best international price.

Do you understand at all that people in other countries like India cannot afford games at western prices since their currency and wage earnings are so much lower, hence the lower price to match in commodity value to that countries products / pricing.

This is why region locking happens, when everyone else in territories can afford the higher price, exploit another territories required lower price that is affordable to them by similar value. It's like saying "I want to pay the price of dinner in my country for a game" whereas at that same price in India that would be the cost of several meals for over 2 days or something, which is not affordable for average folks there as a value proposition.

The only options for devs / pubs when this keeps happening is region locking, which people hate, or the same pricing everywhere which screws over country with poorer average wage and lower valued currency - lower sales and revenue for devs / pubs - piracy

from the app description, It may be related to what your experiencing.

KNOWN ISSUES:

  • Windows 10 download progress bar does not actually display progress.
  • Due to a UI issue download progress may not be accurately displayed (despite downloading without issue).
  • When pausing and resuming the download, it mat appear that the download has reset (appears to start from 0). However, actual download progress has not been affected.

I guess it's working then. I'm slowly losing space from my c: drive. Thanks.

I really hope they read this, because they need to come back down from the clouds.
 
Just bought it, i'm trusting gaf when they say that Denuvo doesn't do anything intrusive.

As soon as you start downloading you can switch back I believe
Click to expand...

So i just pause the download, close the store, go back to my region and when i reopen the store i can still download the game?

EDIT: yeah, done. Didn't even had to close the store, it just switched back. Super easy.

Now i have to remove my payment method from the store though, to eliminate that "region: Ukraine"

Ok I figured out my problem, If you've just downloaded Windows 10 to do this, Microsoft won't allow Automatic updates to give you the November build for around a month incase you wanted to go back to a previous version. You need to go to disk cleanup and delete your old operating system files via the advanced options, then Windows update will download the Nov Build and allow you to use the store.
I did that, and now I can download the game from the store.




Btw, this is in English, right? lol. Thanks OP. I probably wouldn't have got the game before this so either way more money for them.

Sorry but where exactly are those options? I think I've found the "disk cleanup" app but I don't see any "advented options", well I'm on French W10 so maybe I misunderstood what you're talking about. ^^" So can you tell me please where exactly it is? Thank you. :)

To add to this, the Windows Store uses a regular Windows service to download shit, so you can see how much bandwidth its drawing in the task manager.

Is there no way I can see how fast the download is going in Windows store? Like (5mbs) etc.

It's stupid, but you can check in the Task Manager.

This is scam... some websites get the keys from fraudulent sources that buy those keys with stolen cards, you are risking your account and/or losing money by buying this ^_^

This is from the official Microsoft web store. I've even switched my region plenty of times on Xbox One for access to certain betas.

Sorry, by advanced options I was talking about the option to clean up System files at the bottom of the menu after the first scan. It'll then do another scan and you'll have the option to remove previous operating system files.
 
I just realized that my Windows account has a different Hotmail address than my Xbox gamertag. I'm still downloading, but is there a way to transfer the game to my Xbox gamertag rather than playing it on my Windows Hotmail account?

Anyone else get this error?

How do I add the game to Steam?
Click to expand...

It's not possible to add Windows apps to Steam as non-Steam games and I think Valve's hands are tied. Your typical shortcut to a program reads "[location]\program.exe", but apps look like this:
