Also having the same issue, however not under the exact same circumstances. This is the first time im making a purchase from the microsoft store. I was unable to buy the game through paypal in my region so i indirectly bought it by asking a friend to make
the purchase for me, the transactions were successful but the problem now lies in the downloading process. i've tried countless times to download Forza h3, each time has been slightly different, sometimes it starts and goes straight to downloading the gigs,
sometimes i see it telling me its "almost ready" in another attempt but ultimately i arrive at the same end, im curious as to whether or not im even recieving all the data when its being downloaded, it successfully goes to telling me its installed but when
i boot up the game, i encounter the issue where the initial launch screen comes up, sits there for a moment, then just disappears. No error message or anything.
I was advised by a friend to try running it as admin for my start menu, but i dont see that option when i right click.
from what i've tried after googling the problem all day:
Resetting the store through command prompts and manually closing and reopening.
relogging into my account.
opening it from the xbox app.
restarting my pc
disabling the mic and my antivirus, i dont have avast so i doubt thats an issue.
reinstalling the game multiple times as i said earlier
"clearing the cache"
All of this amounted to nothing, i troubleshooted the issue, and all it did was reset the store telling me its fixed but to no avail.
My pc isnt exactly the highest spec but as far as i know its capable of running the game on low settings. i have 3 different hard drives, the one i installed it to had roughly 101gb before installing the game. im not sure if downloading it to the bigger
drives makes a difference, havent tried it yet, before i waste more of my time im hoping for some help here.
8gb of ram, however i dont, for whatever reason have direct x12, not sure where exactly i should get that from, My w10 is also up to date.
Something else im not sure about in terms of relevance to my game crashing is my w10 tells me it isnt genuine, i've tried looking into this but its rather puzzling as i cant pinpoint why it would be telling me this in the first place. Whats more on that
note is, as im typing this, i dont see the little notification that it normally there right now.
Not sure what else to do to fix this, not sure if its even on my end, but i'd really like some help, i've been at this all day, just bought the game and its frustrating that for my 45$ it wont even get passed the launch, im almost considering just buying
an xbox1 which i'd rather avoid.
