    I'm receiving an error when trying to launch games through the Xbox App in Windows 11. The error dialog says: "The parameter is incorrect" and is related to the "GameLaunchHelper.exe".

    The only workaround for now is restarting the computer but it's a pain in the **** to do so every time.

    Any ideas on how to permanently fix this?

    :)

    Aliens Fireteam won't start, just crashing on few seconds into starting the game

    I don't think it has anything to do with Windows 11 as I have couple of friends that are running the game on 11 without issues. It could be combination of hardware and how xbox app launches the game (in regards to dx11/12) and xbox app does not have a command line parameters feature so we can try forcing the game to start in one of those in particular so we can test...
