I can't play Control by Remedy Entertainment on my PC Game Pass.

Binkes · Aug 29, 2021

Hi.

I bought my first month of PC Game Pass for $1, wanting to try out Control for a cheap buck, as I couldn't commit myself to paying full price.

The game just doesn't work.

9/10 times I start the game, get to the 'press enter to play'-screen. I press everything from enter to left click- nothing works!

Sometimes, however, I am kissed on my cheeks by the benevolent RNGesus, and allowed a generous 15-minute (if not less) playtime before a sudden, albeit expected, crash.

I tried searching the web for a possible botch, all threads are 7 months old and with no viable solution. Which in and of itself is wack.

How are you, mate?

The developer recommends taking the step. I also saw that playing the game in borderless mode can help.

'''Although this isn't the ideal solution for this issue, the community has managed to figure out a workaround which may allow you to continue playing the game without the frequent crashing:

Open Windows Explorer and paste this into the directory: "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\505GAMESS.P.A.ControlPCGP_1.0.6.0_x64__tefn33qh9azfc\". You won't be able to navigate there yourself since Windows secures the WindowsApps folder. You may also need to change the drive letter and remove the Program Files part of the file path if not using the default settings.

Right-click on Game_rmdutggamepass_f.exe and select Properties.

From the Compatibility tab, check the box for Windows 7 compatibility mode and then click Apply. You may get an access denied message due to administrator rights, so if you do, click on Ignore.

Run the game from your normal shortcut or from the Xbox app launcher.''

If the issue persists, I recommend talking to them to investigate the issue further.

Is this for the game Control? If so, you would have to contact Remedy Entertainment, the Developer.

Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

Hey VansFannel, how are you today? Hope you're well.

First, make sure your windows and all its services are up to date:

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

Then try this:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

If it still doesn't work:

In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC and try again.

You could also look into the Fable games. And never knock playing single player games where you just pass the controller. I love playing horror survival games (like DeadSpace, for example) with my wife just passing the controller back and forth. Watching
her freak out is worth far more entertainment that playing co-op in scenario like that!!!

Quantum Break was not a Play Anywhere title, so if you wanted to play on PC, then you would have to purchase it on PC. It is a separate purchase than the Xbox One version of the game. Quantum Break was developed by Remedy Entertainment, which is not
a first-party studio. Additionally it was released prior to the current leadership which instituted the Play Anywhere program. So, even though you own the Xbox One version, you'd have to purchase the PC version if you'd want to play it.
