Rise of the Tomb Raider in the Ukrainian Windows Store: 234UAH (~9,11USD)
- Thread starter orichalcos

I'm generally hugely in favour of globalisation of markets, but there's always been something off about people from prosperous Western countries taking advantage of extremely low prices in developing countries that are low because of the significant difference in economic conditions between (in this example) the US and Ukraine.

Same exact thing I did. Thanks GAF.
Can I change the directory path for the game? My C Drive is stuffed.

I don't believe so because of the way Microsoft Store apps/universal apps work - they keep the installation files hidden away to simplify the process of installing/uninstalling and for security.

I think you can, here's a link, i skimmed it but it seems legit
of course i assumed you couldn't so i spent a good 30 minutes fucking with windows til it let me clear out my windows.old folder from my c drive. 21 gigs on my ssd wasted for almost a year because I didn't even realize it was there...
use Disc Cleanup, fellas.
Have you ever went to a discount store (Like Poundland in the UK), guess where some of the products come from.
Last week I bought some Colgate Total from there. Guess where it came from? South Africa. Same product as the UK one, just cheaper. Paralell importing exists, well everywhere. Half of the time products are made in the same place and have different labels.
Hell, if you think that's bad enough, anyone who buys exclusively genuine parts (especially consumables like Filters, oil etc) for their cars are in for a big shock.

That did it, super simple. Thanks!
This works, but be sure to do it before you download. Changing downloaded apps is a pain.
Anyway, thx OP! Was not planning to get this anytime soon, but couldn't resist
All I had to do was put in a Ukrainian postal code, rest doesn't matter it seems. Download takes ages though, feels like it's actually routing the download via Ukraine.

give it a minute or 10 or an hour or whatever. the progress bar appears to only update in .5gb intervals after the first .1gb. at least on my computer. and i'm pretty sure their server is being taxed because i'm at 9gb when i should be done by now.
i left my computer in 'ukraine' because at first i thought the download wouldn't continue if i switched back to 'us' but i'm pretty sure that's not the case, i'm just playin it safe because i'm tired and i don't wanna babysit this thing. goodnight yall and godspeed
go to the Windows Update menu.. even though i had put it to automatic updates when i installed windows i just noticed that it didn't update my computer since November. So i did it manually by just clicking restart now.

Damn. I uninstalled and changed pathway but now I can't reinstall it through the appstore as it seems to think it's still installed.
So what's the worst that could happen here? Microsoft removes the game from your account?
You can add a shortcut to any executable in Steam to get the Overlay.
Edit: Oh, wasn't aware controller support wasn't in for games not on Steam yet. Nvm then. Does say that support is coming in the next Steam Beta client, has said so since December, so maybe it's already in? Try adding a shortcut and see

you can access the app folder by navigating to whichever drive you install apps to. in the program files (NOT 86) folder, there should be a hidden folder called 'windowsapps', give yourself permissions to view it (google this) and you should be able to navigate to the Tomb Raider folder and add the executable as a non-steam game to your steam library. i'm just guessing, i might be full of shit, but i figure it should work.
you can use the steam controller with non-steam games added to your library. it's how i control my desktop when i steam stream windows explorer to my tablet
((mind-boggling. will verify myself in the morning.
weeeeird.
idk, this is steam sale level pricepoint, i think i could live without steam controller support, personally. but to each his own
programs on the windows 10 store don't use executables.
So being faster, lighter, and smaller than Windows 7 and 8 makes 10 "full of bloatware"? K
Now that's a new one, wasn't aware that was the case.
Yeah I'm clicking Search for updates and it doesn't find anything new :/
The problem is people in here are claiming that overlays don't work for Win10 versions. The controller works fine for non-Steam games, but the overlay has to work if I want xinput to work.

You need the Win10 Build 1511 (or kb3118754 update)
What is your Windows 10 build number?
darkinstinct
...lacks reading comprehension.
There's a setting where you can say on which drive apps are to be installed. Top left settings, memory.

Yea I changed it and figured out how to fully delete the remnant app files so I could re download it. Thanks
yes i did it and it's still downloading
Winver says Version 10.0 Build 10240
So I have the wrong build? Is there anyway to force it to see the update I'm missing?
Just had to force it. You'll have to use Internet explorer, visit: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3118754 and go through the update catalogue (method 2).

I actually hope they fix this. Crystal Dynamics deserves more than for Rise of The Tomb Raider to be bought for $9
I already bought it once on console so I don't feel bad. But I can understand to sentiment.
What? Is this true?

I have that build too and checking for updates tells me that there are none.
Well guess I'll never be buying a game from the Windows store then.

6GB down. moving at a fairly decent pace, tbqh.
Yes.
Why would that matter? Serious question
Of course they do, they are just pretty hidden, You have to modify permissions in order to see them, but I managed to find Fable Legends files.
No.
W10 is full of bloatware despite being faster, lighter and all of that.

Can't use programs like RTSS, Borderless Gaming, Gedosato, Reshade etc.
Basically limits what you can do with your game which goes against the reason why I game on PC in the first place.
