Another Windows 10-exclusive game published in the Microsoft Store has been cracked, proving that UWP titles aren’t entirely safeguarded against piracy despite the tighter control that Microsoft has over them.
CODEX managed to crack Gears of War 4 after it bypassed Microsoft and Arxan protections, and the game can now be downloaded and played without a Microsoft Account connected to the Store and obviously, without paying for it. The same group managed to crack the first UWP game nearly a month ago and announced at that point that more titles were in the queue.
Gears of War 4, which is a Windows 10-exclusive title not available elsewhere, can be purchased from the Microsoft Store for $39.99 and is offered as a 100+ GB download. It can be downloaded on both PC and Xbox One as a UWP title, and integrates Xbox Play Anywhere to play on both Xbox One gaming console and Windows 10 PCs without paying any extra fee.
Gears of War 4 – CODEX Reviewed by Gunnar Grissen on March 14, 2018 Rating: 5. 2016 X Action X. Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition – CODEX +FIX DLC Unlocker. Gears of War 4 finally came out this week on Xbox One and PC.Unfortunately for some, the launch hasn't been entirely smooth. Developer The Coalition has now put together a forum thread in which. To fix the issue, be sure to install the latest drivers and try to run Gears of War 4 again. Gears of War 4 PC won’t start, launch – This problem can appear if you don’t have Offline Permissions feature enabled in Microsoft Store. Simply enable this feature and the problem with Gears of War 4 should be resolved.
Forza 7 next?
The cracked version, however, needs to be blocked from connecting to the Internet, and CODEX recommends gamers to block the game’s executable file in the firewall in order to prevent it from going online. It comes packed in an ISO file, just like cracked Win32 games, and can be played on Windows 10 version 1607 (Anniversary Update) or newer.
CODEX claims there’s no limitation when comparing the legit version with the cracked one, and the group notes that Gears of War 4 continues to be very buggy, though this isn’t something caused by the crack.
While the list of games whose protections have been bypassed is growing, not all titles have been cracked, though right now this appears to be just a matter of time. Forza 7 seems to be one super-popular request, along with several other titles like Halo Wars 2.
We’ve contacted Microsoft for some comments on this increased focus on cracking UWP titles and will update the article when an answer is offered. The company, however, is unlikely to be pleased with this whole new trend, so future updates are very likely to include tougher protections and blocks for these cracks.

Gears Of War 4 Codex Fix
This appears to be an issue with user account permissions affecting Windows 'local' user accounts (those not using a Microsoft account tied to their Windows account).
Fix 1:Download any free app from the Microsoft Store. Downloading a new app appears to reset the licences for the currently logged in profile and can fix the problem.
Fix 2:Convert the local account to a Microsoft account in the User Settings area of the control panel. You can covert it back to a local account through a similar process in User Settings.
Game consistently freezes/crashes the computer after 20 to 30 minutes of play[edit]
Async compute is known to cause system crashes, even on new hardware. Disabling async compute in the graphics options should fix the freezing/crashing issues.[7] Those who experience crashes using a Nvidia card should download Display Driver Uninstaller, run in safe mode and update to the 398.36 driver which contains a potential fix. Fix effectiveness has not yet been ascertained.
