Meant to be Seen

I signed up for Microsoft's game pass but unfortunately, Microsoft does not allow UWP apps and games to be modified in any fashion. They make it impossible to add external files or make modifications to the game directory. I was wondering if there was a workaround for this?

I managed to get Reshade working with UWP games using an injector so I imagine that something similar could be done with 3Dmigoto. Here's info on how to get Reshade working:

...

I don't think that's the issue. The OS does not allow write access to the directory and you can't change the folder's security settings or permissions. So it's impossible to copy any shader fixes to a game's executable directory.

...

Yeah I ran into that post before posting here. Unfortunately, the ModifiableWindowsApps path does not mean that every game on the Microsoft Store or Game Pass is moddable. It's up to Devs to implement it in their games or not. So far I haven't seen a single game that uses it.

I figured that since it's been 6 years since PirateGuyBrush made that post someone might have figured a way to inject 3dMigoto in a similar fashion to the Reshade injector I posted above.

I see 0StartGameVia3D-MigotoLoader_WinStoreGames.cmd in the Man of Medan fix by Losti
Dunno, the relativity, perhaps it's in the UE4 Universal Fix?

Cool thanks! the 3dmigoto loader looks incredibly promising. I'll give it a shot and report back.

The way you posted from bob is ok, its the same like in the Universal fix.

I finally got around to trying this out again and unfortunately, I can't get games to launch when 3d is enabled in the control panel. As soon as I try to launch a game the exe pops up for an instant in the task manager but then exits before it even begins loading. If I disable 3d the game launches fine. I was able to launch the game with the loader as per the direction in the post above but obviously, 3d does not kick in since it's disabled in the Nvidia control panel. I've also tried disabling 3d, launching the game, tabbing out, and enabling 3d but it 3d does not get enabled in-game and I'm not even sure if the loader is injecting 3dmigoto.

I'm running windows 10 build 19042.630
nvidia driver 452.06 installed via the 3dfix manager with the driver hack enabled. (enabling or disabling the driver hack doesn't do anything).

I can get 3d to work in other games just fine, but alas anything from stuff from the windows store/game pass does not launch when 3d is enabled.

I've tested this with both The Ascent and Deep Rock Galactic, which are both ue4 games whose steam versions work fine with the ue4 fix.

Any other ideas or should I just give up?

As of tonight, I am no longer having any issue with gamepass games. I'm on 20H2 19042.1288, with 452.XX and just launching games normally directly from the app.

A couple of questions:
Was this not working for you before?
Is 3D enabled and working?
Which games?

Cheers!

That's great news. I'm hoping that since this is up to the developer it will be widely adopted. The previous mods folder they rolled out a while ago was never used in any game that I came across.

Sorry didn't see this... my issue seems to have been the driver change global setting wasn't on in 3DFM. As of now, as long as there isn't a fix required, 3D is coming on as per usual when I start the game normally directly from gamepass. They either come on working, or come on needing a fix.

Once the game leaves the Xbox Game Pass catalogue, you'll need to purchase a digital copy from the Xbox app for Windows slope game or the Microsoft Store, play it from a disc, or get another form of permission to continue playing the game.
