Forza horizon 4 is a windows store exclusive on the pc platform.

You need to be logged into the windows store via your microsoft account and then you redeem your code, install the game and play. It's not that hard mate.

Knowing what you're doing is probably the first step.

Rroff · 5 Oct 2018 at 19:48

Was tempted to buy it but Windows Store exclusive and Windows 10 requirement gets a no from me.

Mark1989 · 5 Oct 2018 at 20:01

So because you can't simply type a code into the right place it's microsoft fault lol.

How is it the PC's fault that you're a bit dim?

theres currently a bug after the latest windows update where you cant access games on the windows store.

code 0x00000194

I have the game installed and was playing it fine, even after the update but today its fkd.

According to some 1 on reddit suffering from the same issue microsoft are aware and it will take them a month to release a update to fix it.

i just finally got that error code fixed by signing out the store rebooting pc and signing back in, i literally couldn't click into any apps on the store without that 194. all good for now 'touch wood'.

I am actually on board with the OP.

Calling him dim is out of order in my opinion, yes his post is a litte brash, but it's anoying as hell when you need to try and figure stuff out, unexpectedly, when all you want to do is play the new game you baught.

I remember Games for Windows Live, what a nightmare....

This is 100% what I feel I tried to play bat man with windows live awful awful experience never saved my games always started the game from 0% as wouldn't save data local. Took year after when there killed windows live that I could play it properly. This is rubbish I hate windows 10 disabled the update as April 2018 update caused a BSOD hard loop and basicly bricked 3 of my pcs now on my main rig won't load as it's not up to date. So install it on my second pc that's full up to date and sees my purchase I won the game refuses to see it at times restart messing about sees it and will not load pass the splash screen. I never knew windows live was remade as x box **** other wise would not of dropped 50 quid on it when there are so many good games coming out

The main reason for this seems to be having Afterburner running in the background (or any overlay software) close it if you do, and it might launch.
If you don't use Afterburner, then no ideas sorry

he has the exact same issue and many others are having as I mentioned above.

Doesnt seem like theres a fix its just a case of waiting for another windows update.

terley · 6 Oct 2018 at 01:07

Microsoft store whilst a bit weird is actually a very good game launcher, never had games launch so fast and be so reliable with cloud saves.. especially as i use game-pass to play on my gaming rig and on my xbox one x when couch surfing.

I have this issue, spent over an hour trying different fixes...

But if I open the "Xbox" app and then click Forza in there it opens the Microsoft store fine. Still doesn't work if I click anything in the Microsoft store app though.

ryhoper1 · 6 Oct 2018 at 12:44

The store started working for me against last night, and for some other people on reddit suffering from the same bug. They could launch the game but I was still unable to.

I tried uninstalling the game so I could redownload and install them again but it didnt delete the files.

Windows store games are a pain to find the actual files nevermind do anything with them.

So I am in the process of backing up before I format my drivers and reinstall.
