Talk:Forza Horizon 3

I got a legit copy back in 2019 for the Platinum Plus Expansions Bundle, after delisted since 2020, I was never able to reinstall this game, in 2024 is not showing in my microsoft store page of the order, and when try the xbox app will never ever going to be install and cant use the standard edition, basically microsoft deleted this version and stole me $40 from me and they refuse to do anything, scammers, so basically alleviate this problem no longer works in 2024.

When that 0x80073d0d error shows up precisely?

That specific version of the game have its page completely deleted and wasn't left for archival purposes like it is for standard and deluxe edition. Probably it's the fact, which allows installing and using these versions for accounts with bought game before, but looks like it's not the case for your version. If you had EAppx file archived with the help of Fiddler and IDM, back when the game was available, you could install it yourself in PowerShell now. Shame.

Be aware that if your Xbox app doesn't work correctly, you won't be able to launch the game anyway. E.g. old W10 builds cannot use the latest Xbox app and older might crash (still available in store as "beta" BTW). But the latest version of the old app branch from the old URL in store says to install the latest version, and redirects to the new URL and new Xbox app.

It can happen that, the old, still working version of Xbox app (like beta) crashes on launch with Windows.UI.Xaml.dll (don't confuse with Microsoft.UI.Xaml.dll) in Event Log, and then you're stuck and need to update the OS (there are some steps to try out on support pages doing other things, but you might end up with nothing).

When I am trying to reinstall the game, I get this particular error, since delisted and uninstall, is impossible to reinstall since 2020, and when trying to use normal or deluxe I just get not available like if I don't own the game

HDR is supported but there's no option to enable/disable in the video settings. It needs enabling from the desktop first. Can I amend the video settings section to reflect this?

Quite recently I found following note: " Note that Windows 10 v1803 ("April Update") and later performs automatic tone mapping of SDR content when HDR is enabled, which is not the same as if the game natively supported HDR output. To see if that tone mapping feature is being used, play around with the Display settings > HDR and WCG settings > Brightness for SDR content while the game is running in a window. If the brightness of the game changes then it outputs in SDR and does not support HDR output natively in window mode. However if the brightness does not change then the game properly outputs in HDR." https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_high_dynamic_range_display_(HDR)

Could you check whether the game supports real HDR and not automatic tone mapping of SDR content when HDR is enabled? I assume you have W10 1803 or later, right?

Forzamotorport forum seems to confirm this. I think yes, and it's great news. I didn't know about it. Thanks
