And that’s not just my take but what I’ve seen many say.īTW, just so you know, I was trying to play it with KB/M. I know on build 1803 it works fine, but not on 1903. OK, first off, what version of W10 are you on? I’m on build 1903.

I don’t know why it is not working for you but I can tell you what I did to get it up and running. I still enjoy playing the original one online and yes, on Windows 10. What really ticked me off is when MS sent me an email saying they added the Original GoW app on my account after I bought Gears of War 4, fully knowing that Original GoW doesn’t work on W10. I can see the value of UE on console, since it adds gameplay content, but that’s not the case on PC. That’s all Original GoW needs, plus 4K DSR and Nvidia’s new Sharpen feature to compete with UE. If I see GoW UE at half off over the holidays, I very well may get it, but I can’t see paying $20 for a game that doesn’t look a whole lot better than the file edit I used way back when. MS need to get realistic, it’s been 4 years since GoE UE released, time to lower the price. Original GoW will install on W10, but it’s very broken and most things don’t work right, not even basic res settings and such. The edit, which I can’t find anymore, made textures look and load way better, plus it removed the dark PP that muted colors. I used to use a file edit for original GoW, which I bought way back when it came out and still have the slim DVD box it came in. Only problem is, GoW UE is only available on the MS Store, where they want $20 for it, yet you can get Gears of War 4 at any reputable key site legally for less than a 4th of that. I also tried using tethering from my Mobile phone which is super fast at 40Mbs but I can't sustain a 73GB download with a 12GB Hotspot limit.I know you’re trying to help, but that’s not really useful info since the biggest problem with original GoW is not really having the 3rd patch, it’s that W10 doesn’t support it. I've tried 'wsreset.exe'Īnd it seemed to work whilst it downloaded another GB maybe but then stopped again. My download speed is averaging at around 10Mbs/12Mbs which isn't too bad. I've updated Windows 10 and the App Store. I've read that quite a lot of people have had an issue whilst downloading this game. It reached again to nearly 70GB and no message this time, it just froze on the download. So I waited, again, for the download to progress. However when I opened up the download page again it had wiped my previous download, so when I press install it starts the download again. So I thought I would restart my PC and see if that helped.

I initiated the download, and all be it taking close to 3 days to download it got to 71.85GB / 73.33GB and then came up with a message saying 'Gears of War 4 could not be installed.

I bought Gears of War 4 Standard Edition for my PC a few days ago.

I cant download gears of war 4
