Windows 10: Can't Install Game

I got Windows Game Pass today, decided to install Outer Worlds to give it a try. After the download completed, nothing else happened. There is no play button, I can't find it in my installs. I found it in my WindowsApps folder (I already jumped through all those hoops) listed as PrivateDivision.TheOuterWorldsWindows10_1.0.369.0_x64__hv3d7yfbgr2rp. Won't let me delete it to try and start over, says I don't have permission.


I've reset the store cache, reinstalled the store, checked for updates, ran the troubleshooter, installed the Xbox (Beta) app, had the SAME PROBLEM, now I'm here. I just want to play Outer Worlds, but instead I'm earning my Bachelor's in Computer Science.

Follow the steps below on how to install game in compatibility mode:

2. Right click on the setup file of the game and select “Properties”.

3. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

Hope this helps.

Install Diablo 3 on Linux

Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

 

Insurgency wont install and run for me....

I have played and have fully updated CS and Half life 2....
I am using the newest client and installed the SDK.

I am completely blown away, if i click the desktop icon it starts the sdk and then closes, and it doesn't show up in my game list...

First mod attempt install here, followed the directions step by step on the mods website...

Any ideas?
