I'm talking about Yakuza 3-4-5, they have a terrible use of CPU + other issues:
SilentPatch for Yakuza 3 & Yakuza 4 Remastered
Reducing CPU usage, working around a crash.cookieplmonster.github.io
After Silent tagged them multiple times they ended up doing a similar patch but only about the CPU usage, there are still other issues with those games:
Analyzing the official Yakuza 3, 4, 5 patches & SilentPatch update
Checking the official changes for fun, and adding support for Yakuza 5.
Urgh really? I've really been wanting to play and finish off Yakuza 6, but now I'm thinking to wait until the PC release in case it happens to support 60fps, I'd rather wait to play it at that.
Which is strange considering I have FFXV Pocket Edition on PS4 despite it being a mobile game....
The ports are more than fine. Calling them "quite a mess" is overstating it a bit. Especially since the biggest issue, the CPUs being overworked, has been fixed.
LOL at "new platform". GamePass and Windows Store is not a platform. What an asinine way to justify not bringing this to existing PC owners.
For whatever reason they are treated like separate skus. Not even just in this situation but steam and windows store will have separate developers. Shit is weird.
I don't think I like the HDR implementation very much to be honest -- it seems overall dark compared to regular SDR. The whole scene is noticeably darker in HDR, everywhere you go. Even the desert are or the Resistance Camp (two areas quiiite bright in SDR) is more on the dark than the bright side in HDR.
SDR:
HDR (tonemapped to SDR using Win10's game bar):
Even the menus and such are noticeably darker in HDR compared to SDR, and there's only a single brightness slider so you have none of those HDR calibration sliders that you have in other games. It's like they made the effects "pop" in HDR by lowering the overall scene brightness.
The in-game brightness slider increases the overall brightness as well, which means it really harms contrast the higher you go on it.
I hope that someone more versed in HDR takes a look and compares the modes between one another, as I don't think I'm experienced enough to make a qualified assessment of it. Personally I prefer playing it in SDR as the game just looks brighter in that mode.
Well, now I'm sorta ashamed... I'm the department's PowerShell expert, and have too many hours of experience in PowerShell to count...
Using it for client related stuff passed me by, basically, since I'm mostly use it for server related stuff I guess.
Thanks a lot though for reminding me of PowerShell's AppX capabilities :D

I wonder if QLOC just ported over the HDR in the Xbox version which was pretty crap to begin with.
I tried to get HDR working with FAR to compare but it would always crash the game for me.
Yeah, sadly Kaldaien is gearing up for NieR: Replicant so he won't visit the MS Store version of NieR: Automata anytime soon to fix the compatibility issues. I've so far not been able to prevent the game from crashing with any of the various versions of Special K (FAR) that I've tried either... 😭
QLOC's only ported the Dragon Engine Yakuzas iirc (so Kiwami 2, 7 and soon 6 and Judgement).
That is absolutely correct. I was thinking of Lab42, who did Yakuza Zero and Kiwami.
Welp, still got a month of Gamepass left, guess I should make use of it. Glad I didn't buy it on Steam.
I will say that I have had zero problems with the games. No crashes and they all run flawlessly. I'm on a base 4790 too.
Not only that, but all 3 games have fan patches that restore licensed music that's missing on the console versions. Plus, you get the better Tanimura for 4.

it's just stuff that I had found in testing while trying to unfuck windows store installs lol, no need to be ashamed
unless you do UWP packaging at work and do appx deployments, I imagine most people don't know these commands exist or don't think to check (especially for non-work stuff)
I wish we had more opportunities at my job for PowerShell, almost everything I do now is macOS and UNIX and PS Core isn't enough for me without .NET
I mean sure but he doesn't even know what replicant will be like yet, it might be a flawless port for pc/steam. Then he might find the ENERGY for game pass version.
No wonder why QLOC version of Nier:A runs worse on my pc lol
Another thing about Game Pass / Windows Store games is that their files are locked, which makes doing any modification or injection very hard, or nearly impossible.
I guess they just do the bare minimum and then move on. Look at the state of FFXIII on PC...
There is no better way to play this game. Far fixed some things and you can add textures, but the port is still a mess.
This is a good point. And I realise he probably is probably aware of this and that's part of his reasoning. Hmm
You just can't mod it... you can't modify or add files in the game folder... he can't do anything about even if he want.
Iirc the Xbox version is fake HDR so this is likely the same. I'd disable it if I were youI don't think I like the HDR implementation very much to be honest -- it seems overall dark compared to regular SDR.

I was doing well with this until I read the first 34 bytes, I have no idea what that means.
EDIT: Nevermind, I missed the part that it was everything up until the name. Got it now, great guide and working for me atleast.
That's not true. Forza Horizon 3 natively supports my DS4 (though it still shows Xbox button prompts).
I don't own many Windows Store games, though, so I don't know how common (or uncommon) DS4 support is, though.
This definitely isn't true, from my experience.
A lot of Steam users would vehemently disagree with you, re: whether Steam is different from the Win Store for them. Regardless, it's a new port of a newer iteration (the Become As Gods edition), hence the enhancements. It's definitely not great customer support leaving the original version in the state it's in, but this is a new version on a new storefront, with the new port-work seemingly covered as part of the benefits of being on Game Pass.
DS4Windows. Basically tricks your PC into thinking your DS4 is a XB1 controller which has the most support by PC games.
Steam has built-in DS4 emulation for games that don't natively support it. For non-Steam games, you can use DS4Windows.
As far as I'm aware the Yakuza 7 PC port was done by RGG Studios internally.
Yeah thanks, I was just getting a driver error so i had to reinstall it.
Yeah. Doesn't include the Steam-exclusive Valve accessories, but otherwise everything is included.
Do you have AA on? It uses MSAA and that's crazy costly (and messes up the LOD).
yeah, I turned it off and that fixed a lot of it, thanks.
Nice! Never played it when it came out originally, so that's cool.
i wonder if you can turn off in-game HDR but enable the new Auto-HDR Windows implementation from the insider ring for better results? or if that's even possible on a game that theoretically has HDR built in.
