Thats why i said prior to DX12. Thats really cool stuff if developers will be able to implement those features.
Btw does Gears of War UE support mGPU right now? I guess there is no other way to know other than check gpu usage stats from external tools.
Isn't manufacturer agnostic, multi-GPU support better anyway?
Apparently it's difficult to implement correctly on the developer side and the results have been not so great. Lots of stuttering and other issues (very early implementation in Ashes of the Singularity).
That error code points to a larger issue with the Windows Update subsystem. Sorry but the "shitbox of a store" isn't the problem. Your Windows installation is most likely corrupt.
Open a Command Prompt as Administrator.
Type in the following command and then press enter:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
If corruptions are found run this command:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/7808-dism-repair-windows-10-image.html
You may also try running this command to see if any further issues are found:
sfc /scannow
If DISM or SFC are able to repair the corruptions restart the computer and try again. If DISM or SFC find corruptions but cannot repair them Windows will need to be reinstalled (though you can do an in-place upgrade...)
Why? It's not a competition and if people prefer to be patient rather than throw out kneejerk reactions then let them do so?

You've got a whole lot of anger and rage inside you. You're not just expressing an opinion here, you're working overtime in many threads at once to make sure people know it.
No, Win10 only. Install it in a VM if you just want to look.

You can search through here. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/games/windows?icid=en_US_Store_UH_games_Win
There are not many sorting options though.

So, even the logo is a padlock eh?
Wait and see approach here

so most likely there will be modding for a specific set of games provided through the store itself, and say goodbye to framerate/resolution unlocks, lighting or texture replacements, overhauls like the kotor 2 restored content or the VtMB patch, or just anything developers and microsoft don't feel like officially supporting.
How did you come to this conclusion? I don't think we have any insight as to how modding will be implemented in the future...
Using Minecraft as a barometer of their understanding of the importance of modding doesn't sound like they'll 'most likely' seek to have these limitations. As always I'll take these comments with a grain of salt, but likelihood isn't something that can be determined from this quote.

Everyone watch out its the panic patrol!!!
I mean its not like steam is going anywhere.

fallout 4 console mods will be delivered through xbox live and psn, which would involve platform holder approval. the UWA version of minecraft doesn't even support mods right now (which has really scared the minecraft community) and if it ever does it's almost 100% certain that they'll come through the MS store due to the way UWAs work.

Gotta admit
I'm getting awfully comfortable with the idea of buying games on the store
Impulse trigger support is bigger than mods for me

One big annoyance with PC gaming is tweaking with graphical settings and wasting time with benchmarks. In my own experiences, those autotune graphics programs from GPU devs don't seem to work well as I still have to fine tune some things.
If the new model makes PC games like Halo 5 where framerates of individual objects suffer to keep pace of the a locked overall framerate of 60 fps, then it's an improvement. I'd imagine some work from the dev end although Microsoft has this trend that if a tech thing works on Halo, then all subsequent games receive some benefit and backported.
At the very least, Windows 10 is a platform that devs can have their games work on both PC and Xbox One.
People can be skeptical whether this will work in practice or if developers will even care about doing that sort of optimization.

Does store supports download resuming if you quit store app?? I dont feel very confident since i think i could not resume Fable Legends download when i tried few months ago......
I dont feel very good about this 55gb gears download i started, probably will have to leave pc to work overnight( feels like 2005 ). Store maxing out my bandwidth ( ~45mbs ) so thats something i guess. You have wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys to go MS, but hopefully you will put all effort you can and wont drop initiative at first sign of problems.

the bolded is entirely possible without the restrictions of the windows store, and the store doesn't require it either.
What games do that?
How do updates work now for games and consoles? Are they tailored specifically or can devs write once and let the compiler do its magic?
i don't quite get what you're asking, but the tech you're referring to in halo 5 is probably specific to that rendering engine and animation system, both of which are internal microsoft tech not used elsewhere
as far as i know it's not even something we're seeing in other microsoft games, let alone as a generic platform feature

Tailored specifically. Despite what you might have heard from Microsoft (or Unity), there's no such thing as a write-once-run-everywhere environment.
I just checked for Windows updates again and saw I had preview build available as I am part of the insiders program. I downloaded it, let it update Windows and now Gears is downloading (essentially reinstalling Windows to a new version). It is ridiculous this had to be done to get this game to install when I was already on version 1511.

Is it possible to pause and resume downloads later? 50+ gb is alot for us on normal internet

You're running beta software. In which things are bound to be broken.

It's obviously Microsoft's fault for allowing casuals to use Beta versions of their OS.
Yes
I opted to get them today. That being said that "beta software" would have let me download the game just fine in Steam before the update.
speaking as someone who currently manages hundreds of windows 8/8.1/10 computers, the store and winrt/uwa apps break all the goddamn time for no reason and are almost impossible to fix when something goes wrong due to how locked down everything is

I've ran into an issue two time where games would either not run or be froze on a message that says to put the game into fullscreen even when it already was. The only way to fix it after all the troubleshooting and Microsoft support help was to reinstall Windows 10.

"Forza 2016" is most probably Horizon 3. As of now "officially", Greenwalt confirmed future games from the Motorsport IP goes into development on both platforms.
That said, won't be surprised if indeed FH3 is a simultaneous release like QB.
it came as part of your windows 10 license. unless they change it and let you delete purchases it's there forever.

So if a game like Gears of War is going to install to c: by default and I don't have enough space for it, what do I do? I know I can move it after it's installed, but by then it's too late.
pc settings -> system -> storage
there's an interface that lets you pick which drive apps install to
You have to change it's install location in windows.
Type Storage in the search/cortana. The setting for it is on that page.
If it's greyed out you haven't got the latest version of windows.
Microsoft doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt when it comes to PC gaming.

Perfect. Thanks, both of you.
you cannot
Don't think so. I remember when I looked into where/how it installed games before I couldn't even access the folder.

That sucks. If I were to replace my motherboard and processor I wonder if my current Windows 10 installation would work fine on it and just recognize the new hardware, or if I'd lose the activated status. Getting conflicting reports on that
