Hi,
I have recently purchased Forza Horizon 3 on the Windows App Store on my Surface Pro 3. I downloaded it onto my Surface Pro 3 because i have access to NBN (faster internet) at work where i was able to download the game within an hour or so.
I want to copy the game data to a USB so i can then install the game on my home pc. I was unable to download the game on my home pc as my interent would take a week to download.
I have tried moving the data using the in built windows function Settings>System>Apps & Features then selecting Froza Horizon 3 and select move to my USB, but i get an error message "We couldnt move Forza Horizon 3. The operation did not complete successfully. Try again in a bit. The error code is 0x80073d0b, in case you need it".
I then tried by taking ownership of the Windowsapp folder and finding the game data "Microsoft.OpusPG_1.0.10.2_x64__8werkyb3d8bbwe". But when i try to copy and paste it onto my usb (which has plenty of space and is formatted in NTFS) it keeps telling me i need to "provide administrator permission to copy to this folder" i select continue and then prompts "you need permission to perform this action".
Doe sanyone know how i can copy the game data for Forza Horizon 3 to my home pc as i cannot download 50GB from home.
Regards,
Tim
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Today my Win10 quit to boot. I needed to restore it. Now all Windows Store Games are gone. I selected in Store for download the same Location on another harddrive with Forza. And the download erased my entire old Folder with all the files from Forza AND Forza Apex. Starting downloading 53gb again. What if 2-3 PCs should be upgraded, with 0.5-1Tb each on game data from store? It's 2-3 Terabytes EVERY time to download again. Are you stupid M$? Make backup solution RIGHT NOW.
They'll not make a change..They're way behind other clients like steam & Uplay & others..
I bought FH3 & GOW4 & Halo wars 2..
to be honest I erased them all and decided not to play any Microsoft game from their store till they fix this..
I can't afford to download about 200G of games data each time on a limited internet service with low speed..
So it's my fault buying from such store with no support or respect for customers at all :(
Resurrecting this post because I was thinking of buying Forza 7, but decided to download the demo first. 20 Gb, ok, not that bad, but still is one whole day downloading. So i downloaded it from my laptop, at work. It took a few hours, but cool. When I got home, I booted up my laptop and my gaming pc, to transfer the game. Nope, no can do. Tried everything, even using Linux, still no. So yeah Microsoft, you are really behind on this. I'm sure I'm not the only one that decided against purchasing the game because of this. You're losing money because of these ancient practices, not earning more! You might say it's because of anti-piracy measures, but NO OTHER GAMING CLIENT DOES THIS. And I don't have to tell you how much money Valve makes without caring much for this type of anti-pireacy measure. So what do you think happens when people like me, that basically cannot download huge games anytime they want, want to purchase your products, but can't because of this? What do you think happens when there is another similar product (and let's be honest here, cheaper and superior) on another platform? Good bye Forza 7, hello Project Cars 2.
Thanks for this nice addition :-).
I also will no longer be buying microsoft games due to this major flaw.... I cannot transfer to other computers in my household!
