    Fixing Assassin's Creed Pirates and other Windows Store games on Win 10 N


    Short version: Install the Microsoft Media Pack, this is the instructions for build 1903: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4475817/media-feature-pack-for-windows-10-n-may-2019

    More info and links for other builds is at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-video-audio-problems-firefox-windows

    Long version:

    I found https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/xba_gapp/assassins-creed-pirates-crashing-on-win10/3538c5c9-ba34-4db2-87f3-cbf9dd7b71f3 which is an old thread that covered an issue I was also experiencing. I replied that I had the same problem and
    gave some extra details. I then figured out the solution and went to post that but found that the thread had been locked with instructions to create a new thread so, here we are...

    For completeness, here is the content of my previous post:

    Same here. Brand new install of Windows 10 Pro N, build 1903. (Pro N is like regular win 10 pro, except with less pre-installed stuff).

    The game shows a window with a logo for about half a second and then immediately closes. I tried resetting it, no change.

    This seems to be the case for a lot of games I have installed from the windows store. Almost every game I've purchased. The following games all crash immediately upon opening:

    • Assassin's Creed Pirates
    • Asphalt 7: Heat
    • Asphalt 8: Airborne
    • Balloons TD 5
    • Carcassonne
    • Defense Zone 2
    • Dinosaur Hunt Africa Contract
    • Halo Spartan Assault
    • Hydro Thunder Hurricane
    • Jetpack Joyride
    • Mini Motor
    • Reckless Racing
    • Riptide GP 2
    • Train Sim

    Things that do work from the windows store include:

    • Bing Daily Wallpaper
    • Minecraft
    Everything else on this computer (Steam, Firefox, Dolphin emulator, etc.) seems to be working properly. Clearly something in the windows store is boned, though.

    :)

    Glad to have you, Nathan. Thank you for sharing this with the community. Have you considered joining Xbox ambassadors?

    Thanks. Xbox ambassadors never crossed my mind, although when I tried to learn a little bit more about it I ended up on this page: https://ambassadors.microsoft.com/xbox/access?removed=true which says:

    You have been removed from the Xbox Ambassador Program, due to one or more of the following reasons:
    • Unacceptable behavior in Ambassador social spaces (i.e. Discord, Twitter, Xbox Ambassador Club)
    • Unbecoming behavior in the Official Xbox Forums
    • Patterns of cheating in the program on this account and/or ban evasion
    • Violating the Xbox Ambassadors Program Principles
    • Please visit the Xbox Enforcement website for information about enforcement on Xbox Live. https://enforcement.xbox.com

    As far as I know, I was never a member in the first place. Amusingly, if I change ?removed=true to ?removed=false in the url, it invites me to sign up. Then it tells me I don't meet the eligibility requirements ("Requirement: You must have at least 1,500
    Gamerscore was not met.") Oh well. I don't have that much time to game anyways.

    I just figured this one out because Firefox was much more helpful when I tried to watch Netflix, and then I got a hunch that it could have been the same problems with the Windows Store games. Microsoft should probably consider following Mozilla's lead there.

    is this game worth buying

    Forget Assassin's Creed. Do you like pirate themed games. If you do, then this is the game for you.
