    bought games on GOG Galaxy that will not install.


    I bought Shadow Warrior 2 and Bro Force on GOG with coupon codes making them cheap but I am having issues. Both were once installed through Gamepass but I have since stopped using that service because the app is just broken and will not install games half
    the time. Eventually, I just got errors on everything and could not even uninstall the games without using Revo Uninstaller. Now, neither Bro Force or SW2 show up on any list to uninstall them but when I try to install them through GOG, which is supposed to
    open the Microsoft Store and install them,it instead does this:

    With Broforce, it takes me to the store page for it and has a "Play" option instead of "install" but clicking play does nothing.

    With Shadow Warrior 2, It just takes me to the store page to buy it, without an "install" option. It just wants me to buy the game, which I technically already did through another vendor. If Microsoft lets other vendors sell its games, they need to honor
    the purchases.

    And before anyone suggests using SFC,DISM, or to check the disks for errors, I do that on a regular basis every month and did it today, with zero problems. I would expect this to be Microsoft's usual broken storefront being broken as always or I have registry
    issues of some sort that is not letting me install them. Install locations are all set up as I want them, too. Any other suggestions?

    Using the category of "Xbox" because "Microsoft Store" is not an option. It's almost like they know it's a mess and do not care to even acknowledge it.

    :)

    The XBox App not seeing Halo

    If it's just about the game appearing one giant list of titles on your PC, install GoG Galaxy and all of your installed games can be scanned and added from Steam, Xbox, Ubisoft, EA etc.

    Xbox Game Pass for PC. No mod support? Official clarification please!

    I think it depend by store, where You will get the game. For example GOG Galaxy 2.0 will work with XGP, and if the GG will support mods this will spread on GXP titles

    Game Pass for PC Not Showing "All Games" in the Catalog

    I have the same issue. I already sent a ticket to microsoft including a screen capture.

    I hope MicahAllen78 that your message will receive enough attention to be taken care of by Mycrosoft.

    That would be really cool if GOG galaxy was able to manage game collections from game pass .

    TellTale Guardians of the Galaxy problem

    Thank you for the info, but GOG? Ive purchased every game from the xbox store on the XBox One or Xbox 360. I dont play games on PC.
    If I'm not mistaken, the delistings are from most if not all stores.

    Play Anywhere games won't launch on PC

    The reinstalls seem to do the trick.
    I've reinstalled FH7, and it now works. That's a bit ridiculous though. Out of all of the Software distribution systems I've used so far, Windows seems the worst. I've never had to uninstall a game and then re-download it again in its entirety just to
    get it to work. No issues like this with Steam, Origin, Ubisoft, and Gog Galaxy, they just work.

    Even if this was related to the system downtime last week, I shouldn't have to re-install my games again.

    Disappointed.
