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

    You nailed it! M$ lives in a parallel universe where everyone have Gb connections and windows works 100% of the time, and also no one is ever doing anything important on the computer, so it's ok to automatically restart to install updates.

    Anyway, I'll quote a previous reply here, to help those that still need help with this:

    "(...) I found a way of downloading the installer separately, it's explained on Forza Reddit, called the fiddler method. I'll not link it here, because legal stuff, but should be easy to find. As a result, I was finally able to download FM7 demo, and eventually decided to purchase the full game.

    See Microsoft, you only earned one more sale EXCLUSIVELY because of "alternative" methods to download your product. Locking is bad, learn that once and for all!!!"

    I was afraid my comment would get blocked, so I didn't include the link, but wth, here it goes: https://www.reddit.com/r/forza/comments/54coxq/fh3\_redownloading\_fix\_pc/

    Oh, and it works with Forza 7 as well! And just to make it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR to the M$ employee reading this right now, it is totally legal!!! It will only work if you have purchased the game.

    Hi,

    Let us isolate the concern by answering the following questions:

    • How were you trying to transfer the game?
    • Were you using an external device? If yes, what kind of external device?
    • Were you able to transfer a game from your Media PC to your Gaming PC before?
    • Were there any error messages when you tried to transfer the said game? If yes, can you post a screenshot of the error?

    Keep us posted.

    Regards,
