I have zero issues with the Xbox app. I don't discount everyone's experiences with it but the folks I know don't have issues with it
this is me too. But then I am signed into my online MS account on my main profile and other than turning off the ad tracking stuff, I don't tinker with settings too much. I wonder how much of the negative experiences come down to folks who turn off all the online features on their profiles. I can't think of any other reason why I keep hearing so much negativity about the Xbox app on windows 10

It doesn't have exclusive fullscreen, again, same as the Steam version.
It still stutter, just try to rotate the camera around the character multiple times and you will see it.
You just can't do that, Game Pass PC is more or less like playing on console, you can just mess up with in ingame menu and Nvidia Control Panel and or RTSS, that's it.
Honestly the Steam version allow to mess around with files at least and try different solution, this isn't similar to Nier situation at all, it's just the same game with less custom fixes.
As other said it mush be the Bethesda Store version.
It doesn't stutter for me honestly.
Even without getting gsync enabled.
I can spin the camera constantly and it and the framerate /frametime doesn't stray from 60fps /16.6ms.

Oh, I see that we have console warriors here as expected.
I am delightful that there is a new definitive version of one of my favorite games. I would not care even if it was Switch exclusive, if it was a better version.
And yes, it would be even better if all versions were updated, but I will take this over what we had until today. Maybe it's just a matter of priorities and other versions will be updated later.
I'm a "console warrior" for arguing that owners of the PC version should receive an updated version as well? That there shouldn't be launcher specific updates to busted games? GTFO.
The Evil Within 2 had a first person mode added post-release on all platforms. The first game, aside from a couple predefined moments, was only ever third person.
First game didn't have first person mode, but it did have FOV options already. And also the setting to get rid of the black bars.
Pretty sure 1st person was added in the Bethesda.net version back in 2019.
to be fair it typically has bugs that are exclusive to its version of games, we deserve to have this.
I think you could get it somehow by connecting your acc to bethnet. Which is why this thread confused me. I knew TEW1 had an official FP mode before.
That's the current question folk are wondering, but looking at the video you linked the first person camera is different in the Win10 release. When sliding down the bloody chute you have Sebastian's body obscuring the camera in the Win10 version and there isn't any clipping when moving about.
*Comments in the video confirm this was a mod (they timestamp the runner saying this 43min into the speedrun).

It is nothing new. Between gog and Steam we had this for years.
No, this means they potentially worked on this PC version from this branch and improved it. This seems to happen to outsourced work but idk about internalSteam has 7 month old beta branch (password protected).
So they uploaded to Steam too, but never released it?
This is definitely a mod. Sebastian's head is constantly clipping through the camera
RTSS doesn't register them but it still stutter ingame, it's some sort of camera/engine stutter more then performance issue. Do you focus on the background instead of the graph alone? Try look at the background while slowly spinning the camera around the character and see how it is, I see constant stutter even if the graph is perfect. Can you do a video capture of it if you don't se any stutter?
i'm gonna redownload the steam version because this is actually driving me crazy now haha
Honestly I haven't found any way to enable gsync at all for this game.
They didn't even advertise it so I doubt it's a part of some amazing strategy. If it is it's terrible one.
Honestly I think The Evil Within stuff will probably eventually come to the Steam release, don't see why they couldn't update it. As for Nier, no idea. That is probably up to Square/Platinum.
I wonder if people who have issues with GamePass PC have run some Powershell scripts that have messed with things. There are always those scripts floating around that some PC users say you must run when you install Windows, and that messes with their computers. I also have a bunch of friends on PC that use GamePass PC without issues. I have a friend that still uses my old PC that I handed down to him; it had a first gen i7 and a GTX 660 and it works just fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hm, the game never gave me any frame problems, ever since it came out and the first patch. Even now (just tried the GOG version, which I have installed) it runs at 100+ frames, even though the option says "Framelock: 60fps Vsync". No g-sync activates, though. Still, the game runs smooth as fuck. I play through it regularly, once every year or two, it's one of my favorite games. I'd love to have the new options but no GamePass in these territories and I doubt I'd get it even if there was. Hopefully the features make their way to the Steam/GOG stores.
Just tried on Steam too and it's the same game performance wise.
The ingame vsync is terrible + no exclusive fullscreen. This is prone to constant microstuttering that can be partially solved on Steam by removing the in-game vsync and frame cap by a command line and then use RTSS to cap it at 60FPS.
With this way you get perfect framepacing but it only last for the first area since the cap alone can't sustain a perfect framerate for long and you start seeing the microstutter after a bit.
You can't even force the vsync via Nvidia Control Panel so yeah... there is no way to run this at a perfect framerate, at least on a fixed HZ monitor (I remember messing with it on my brother gsync monitor too and didn't find a solution either, maybe I'll try again when I get one on my own but usually windowed gsync is terrible so I don't think it will be a good solution).
So yeah, this version has some in-game change but engine/performance wise is THE SAME as the Steam version, with the malus of having LESS options to tweak it.

The fact that you can't disable the intro movies on the Windows Store version automatically makes it the worst.
Goddamn is it annoying.
Goddamn is it annoying.
AFAIK you can only do that after completing the game once.
Ok, I will definitely wait with getting this relase. I have no interest in any 1:st person mode or easier stamina mode (it's more fun with that nervwrecking stress :D.
It runs very well on PS4 Pro so I will probably enjoy it on PS5 too.

GoG version of Fallout 3 runs fine. Steam one used to have issues (not sure if it still does or not though).
As I remember, it was always weird. Locking it to '30' for me, instead seemed to lock it to half my refresh rate instead. So 72 on my 144hz monitor. I remember gsync was broken at launch, but I thought it got fixed eventually (at least when enabling support for windowed content), but I'm probably misremembering that.
I have updated my previous with an instruction to make it runs smooth, even my 970 can hit 1080p 60fps.
If they can do a new port of the sequel that doesn't have the stuttering issues, I will be most happy.
With the addition of infinite ammo mode on PC, I hope they add the same for the consoles. I loved playing evil within 2 with the cheats, but evil within 1 is just a whole lot harder. I would love to platinum EW1 if they do add the cheats like they did with EW2.
Just for comparison, with the infinite health / ammo cheat, EW2 went from a 8-10/10 platinum rating to a 1/10.

Those issues should not happen and if that was the normal user experience I would agree. But that isn't my user experience nor the experience of everyone . Sorry it was for you.
Since the Xbox beta came out I've had the following issues
FO76 wouldn't go past the title screen
Wasteland 3 update had an error I needed to reinstall
One game after Uninstall didn't delete from my ssd, had to delete from apps In settings
I belive that is it? So I wouldny say that barely works in my experience after downloading and playing tons of other games just fine all the time .
I tried to capture this, but I think the shutter speed on my camera prevents it from looking as smooth as it does in person.
I'd normally film something like this on my phone, as that tends to produce better results for video, but someone must've borrowed the tripod mount. Software-based captures often introduce their own small stutters.
Try enabling Debug Mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel (it's in the help menu).
The game is notoriously crash-prone on GPUs with borderline-unstable overclocks (even factory-overclocked GPUs suffer from this).
You shouldn't have to disable G-Sync entirely, but I recommend that you never enable windowed-mode G-Sync.
Windowed-mode G-Sync often causes stuttering in games when it cannot sync to the frame rate correctly.
I don't know about the Windows Store version, but for the Steam version you can use SpecialK to force the game into flip-mode.
1. Download SpecialK and extract to
\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK2. Run
SKIF.exe and enable the global injection service.3. Typically, you would adjust the SpecialK settings in-game by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+BACKSPACE but the way TEW handles its inputs seems to prevent that.Create a text file inside

I recommend that you add the following launch options to Steam
+com_skipIntroVideo 1 +com_allowconsole 1 +vt_maxaniso 4 +r_swapinterval 0 though only the +r_swapinterval 0 command is relevant to the game performance.
If you only plan on using a gamepad to play the game, you can fix the SpecialK GUI by blocking mouse input to the game (which requires a restart to work). Set the following in the config:

I'd be very surprised if this is part of some master plan by MS to have better ports on Game Pass. Seems more likely it's just a result of technical factors and other incentives leading to new or different ports of certain games.
A publisher strikes a deal with MS to have a game on Game Pass, then they have to revisit the game to package it for the store, and probably meet some basic technical requirements. In a few cases, maybe it ends up being more expedient for some reason to produce a new port, e.g. from an Xbox version instead of from a previous PC port. So, you get what we're seeing with a few games.
They don't go back and update the previous Steam version, because hey, no one's paying them do that and why spend time and money they don't have to. (Just stating the rationale, not endorsing it.)

of course you can use command line arguments. The only limitation of Windows Store (besides the store itself) is you can't modify the game files unless the game has it enabled
open powershell and paste this in to create a desktop shortcut with intro video disabled
$lnk = "$home\Desktop\Evil Within.lnk"; $shell = New-Object -ComObject Wscript.Shell; $sc = $shell.CreateShortcut($lnk); $sc.Arguments = '+com_skipIntroVideo 1'; $sc.TargetPath= 'shell:AppsFolder\BethesdaSoftworks.TheEvilWithin-PC_3275kfvn8vcwc!Game'; $sc.save()$lnk = "$home\Desktop\Evil Within.lnk"; $shell = New-Object -ComObject Wscript.Shell; $sc = $shell.CreateShortcut($lnk); $sc.Arguments = '+com_skipIntroVideo 1'; $sc.TargetPath= 'shell:AppsFolder\BethesdaSoftworks.TheEvilWithin-PC_3275kfvn8vcwc!Game'; $sc.save()
Oh... so this works for any game? For example 99% of Unity games doesn't have Exclusive Fullscreen by default so you usually slap a command line to enable that but I never find a way fow Wstore games.
Can you explain/teach me how this works so I can do it for any Windows Store game? Thank you very much <3
EDIT: btw I've used that string but didn't worked, this is the error I got:
