how to download episodes for offline play?

[Deez Nuts]

they are available on windows store but have not seen it on steam

Windows Store download is for XBO. In all the legit PC versions the episodes are streamable only.

So the only way to play this game offline is with the XBO version? Maybe one day they'll patch it to let us download the episodes on PC.

Ah, you are correct. Looks like on mobile it didn't specify :(

Streaming only is great and all, right up until you get the "Unable to stream" error. I'm seeing this now. Has Remedy / Microsoft abandoned support for this feature? I'm having to endure the abysmal Windows Store version of this game with all its ludicrous performance problems on my i7 8700K, 16Gb Ram and GeForce 1070, and now this 'Unable to stream' error is just one more example of what a lame job Remedy did with the Store version.

How does the Steam version compare?

I haven't played the game in over a year so can't say if it was updated but this was a problem on the Steam version as well. Hopefully they allow it to cache offline now =/ they were really great episodes too.

am also on the Windows 10 version. can't stream. i'm guessing the servers are down, and it's abandoned, breaking the game forever. fantastic.

I recently bought the game and have not been able to watch the game's first episode yet. When I try to watch it, it simply does nothing and then shuts my game off returning me to Windows. I haven't had a desire to continue the game which is unfortunate. I love Remedy's Max Payne games and Alan Wake very much but this game has been an irritating experience thus far. I hope they never design game like this again. I hate this streaming, online dependent design.

You might wish to try again. I just watched the first streamed video and it worked without major issues (apart from some connection-related jitter, but similar to Netflix and co.) - I hope you are wrong in your assumption about the game being abandoned as I bought it recently and while an unusual gaming experience, I like the plot so far. :-)

dang, i tried again. still won't stream. maybe they just screwed the MS Store version. i might rebuy it on Steam when it's on sale, then.
