Dead cells "this app can't open"

Pr0lifik · Apr 26, 2023

I have been playing on game pass on PC and yesterday I bought the game and all the dlc. I just tried to play it now and it says "this app can't open. Check the windows store for more info about dead cells." It doesn't even have an error number. Just a hyperlink "see in store" that takes me to Microsoft store page. Everything is updated the store, the Xbox app. So idk what it could potentially be and I read If I reinstall I will lose all progress. Please help me

:)

Hi, I hope you're doing well and safe out there. I'm an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

Kindly try to repair the game. Open the Xbox app for Windows. In My Library, select the game title. Select the More options (…) button and choose Manage. Select Files and then Verify and repair.

same issue ... can't update any xbox game pass PC games....

have to uninstall /reinstall.

other apps (that are not xbox game pass) are uptated through store without any issue.

for microsoft: dead cells has no cloud saves through xbox live (working on outer world/gears 5..but not dead cells)

No error message the game up has a quick popup and then disappears. If I mash the play button for dead cells it opens like 20 dead cell windows, lets me play for like 30 sec then crashes.

I havent re-installed it yet, I downloaded it yesterday so I felt like that is kind of redundant to have to do that. Could be wrong.

Ill give it a go.

No worries, Dead Cells is bosssss

*UPDATE*

Just uninstalled xbox and reinstalled. Same issue, no fix. Thoughts?
