@Blackichan08 I installed yesterday and played for ~5h, now i just opened the game and it's still working fine. I usually leave my PC 24/7, so I'm not sure if Windows store will fuck my game when I restart the PC, as happened with others, but nonetheless the Tweaker solved the download/install problems

@Anunaer and @Rajamic99 I can confirm that the launcher is indeed downloading about 60GB of the game in this step, and probably in a limited bandwitch too. Other thing is that if there's even a single file missing this shity launcher will re-download the entire game.

If anyone is having any problems to download this game, I would recommend uninstalling the game and using the Arks-Layer twicher to download and install it.

What I can recommend to everyone who has problems is that:

• uninstall the game and then download it fresh from windows store, but do not open it.
• use the community made tweaker to download the rest of the game, update, check the files and anything else acording to this tutorial: https://arks-layer.com/setup.html

I spent 2 entire days messing with permissions and shit, and acomplished nothing, but after doing the fresh install by the tweaker I can now play nicely.

@ShodBread192877 I think problems with the gameGuard could be related to your antivirus messing with it. Try to whitelist the game directory.

If it doesn't work it may have something to do with messed permissions, or windows store messing with files. Second case I heard can happen if you install the game in a different place other than where windows is installed.

After trying the fixes from the megathread (giving permission and shit) and updating windows to build 1909, I somehow got the launcher to try to update the game again, and it doesn't seems like it will take 21h this time...

Edit: Forget about the part of not taking 21h, it's only downloading at around 1MBps, so it will take minimum 18h to download the ~62GB, again...

It's just so absurdly stupid that it has no check for existing files or something like that.

Oh, gosh the "Windowsapps" folder on "Program Files" is not even readable by admins. Some weird shit with Windows Store. -.-

@PhalRepth Didn't get that mad, as I kinda already knew that I would get some kind of error.

But it would still be great to be able to play the game with no problems. ;-;

@NoticedGlobe861 I have a good internet, and 60Gb of download should take ~2h, but guess what? It took a hell of a longer time than that. And not just that, at the end of the waiting time i got this:

Gotta love this game launch.

You guys call that slow? Then how do you all think I should be feeling about that?

Oh, after having to change windows region to enable the region-locked download from Windows Store (a minor problem) and downloading it with no problems within half an hour, the game laucher is finally finishing to update the game or whatever it has been doing for the past 18 and a half hours. 'Only' 3h remaining to finish the patch. I only hope I won't have more problems after that...
