Its all been a bit of trial to be honest, and thats a shame as we rather enjoyed the Xbox One version, and hoped for even better things from the PC port. Unfortunately, right now, its difficult to avoid the sense that UWP simply isnt ready to host ambitious triple-A titles. Gears Of War Ultimate Edition Mod And AdjustIt completely lacks the ability for users to tweak, mod and adjust game files (which would really help us in addressing some of Gears PCs fundamental issues), while the lack of support for often essential driver-level GPU functionality also compromises the ability for users to whip the gameplay experience into shape. Gears Of War Ultimate Edition Windows 10 Background InfrastructureMeanwhile, the Windows 10 background infrastructure itself is currently not fit for purpose in hosting larger PC titles - or even downloading and installing them smoothly. Put simply, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition shipped in a sub-optimal state, and owing to its status as a UWP title, users cannot use existing techniques to help address some of the key issues. While its certainly been a difficult launch, the games developer - The Coalition - is listening and has already released multiple patches that have improved the title. Bringing the game up to version 1.7, a multitude of improvements have been implemented, but we still have our fair share of complaints and remarkably, it seems that new bugs have been added to the game since we first played it. But as things stand right now, these are the reasons why we simply cant recommend Gears of War: Ultimate Edition - and why Microsoft has a steep mountain to climb in getting UWP into acceptable shape: Installation woes: In the early days of PC gaming, installing a game and getting it up and running could often prove frustrating but these days, it couldnt be easier. Installing a PC game should be a simple task and it certainly seems as if Microsofts own Windows Store should be able to provide just such an experience. It doesnt. Its difficult to see the difference between the two, but youll note slightly sharper textures on the PC here. Curiously, the puddle of water in the middle of the image displays differently between the two platforms. Comparing the ultra textures to the Xbox One version, we can see a subtle increase in fidelity here. Real-time shadows on the highest setting really fail to exhibit any noticeable increase in fidelity over the Xbox One version, however. If you look across the area you there is a definite boost in clarity on the PC but we feel that another choice of anti-aliasing, such as SMAA, would further increase rendering quality on the PC. This particular shot showcases the greatest difference in texture quality yet. The cracks around this wall feature more defined detail on the PC. Navigating to the game is simple enough and beginning the installation seems to go smoothly, but when Windows decided to restart the computer to finish installing an update, things went off the rails. ![]() It certainly isnt a problem with services such as Steam, uPlay, or GOG Galaxy, after all. Unfortunately, upon returning to Windows, we were plain stuck. The installation simply wouldnt budge and kept returning errors while attempting to restart the download. So we attempted to remove the game via the Windows Store only to discover that the error messages would immediately return when trying to re-install. Eventually, we took control of the windows app folder, deleted the incomplete data, and restarted the download. This finally did the trick but the average consumer may struggle to reach that point, especially when the installation files are so locked down by default. On another machine we encountered an issue of messaging - the installation started just fine but every time it reached 30 per cent, we received a vague error message.
