lot of games are not playable as it says 16bit error on pc which is 64 bits windows 11,...

Netflix handles their own app and provides the videos

Ma doesn't provide you the games you are sent the games from the developer

They also provide their own servera

If you are getting errors you need to goto game support not xbox support as they have their own tools as you been told

This is the same with any marketplace

Be it.steam.or.android apple or ps

It's not like Netflix where you have one provider you have multiple which is each game developer

Netflix gets the base file from the movie maker then provides the stream any issues would be with the stream unless it's the movie itself which case Netflix would have to reissue the stream

Hi Hansie. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

> "It is akin to encountering a movie that doesn't function on Netflix and being told to contact the producers instead of receiving adequate support from the streaming platform."

That is not comparable to games. You are advised to contact developers for issues with specific games as their teams are more equipped to assist you and provide a solution if there is a problem with their game. This forum provides technical support for Xbox devices and services only, we aren't trained or given the resources to support specific titles.

Can you send over a screenshot of this error, please? Have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far?

Thanks,
Kyle

The error "16-bit application is incompatible with 64-bit Windows (0x800700d8)" when trying to launch Subnautica on Xbox Game Pass for PC (Windows 11) means that the game is running on a 32-bit version, which is incompatible with the 64-bit architecture of your operating system.

How to fix:

1. Check if you have the correct version of the game:

Make sure you are trying to run the 64-bit version of the game Subnautica. The game is available on Xbox Game Pass for PC and Steam, and both should have 64-bit versions.

2. Check compatibility:

32-bit version only: If you are using the 32-bit version of the game, it is likely that it is not compatible with your system.

Consider Steam: If you have the Steam version, it is recommended that you check if your Steam account is configured correctly.

Check the game requirements: Make sure your computer meets the minimum and recommended requirements for the game Subnautica, including your Windows version.

Hi,

Most 32-bit apps and games can run just fine on 64-bit versions of Windows 10 (Windows 11 is only 64-bit).

What program are you having issues with?

If you encounter a 16-bit application error message for games or apps that are actually designed for 64-bit systems, it could indicate a different underlying issue.

The above comments come from the fact that if you do a general internet search of such an error, you'll get articles and forum posts of users encountering this problem while actually attempting run old 16 bit games and software on modern 64 bit versions of Windows 10 or 11, not while running 64 bit apps on a modern 64 bit Windows 10/11 PC.

DOSBox is a PC emulator, but, it has no relation to this issue at all.

Have you run the system file checker utility in Windows? Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and enter the command sfc /scannow to scan and repair system files.

Can you provide some more information on your system specs please?

I suspect either some key system files are damaged/corrupt/out of date. Or, some background third party app is interfering with the Xbox app, such as an anti-virus or other security program. Unlike games from Steam, GoG or EA, to name a few, Xbox game installs are locked and encrypted. Something in Windows or running in the background may be making Windows think these games are 16 bit applications.

Bear in mind that there a myriad of PC hardware configurations with many different software and hardware setups. Without perhaps doing such a drastic step of completely formatting your PC and installing a fresh version Windows, it may not be possible to fix on its own.

Reinstalling the Operating system (and I mean booting from a bootable USB drive with a new fresh install of Windows 10 or 11) is what I am referring to here, not attempting to reset Windows from within the OS.
