There’s a problem with the Windows store that won’t let me put in an Australian address.

Not sure if anyone else outside of the USA has had this problem, but it’s affecting anything I try to purchase on the Windows Store.

I’ll just go out and drive in the real Australia then. with real cars.

Update: I got around the problem by installing Windows 10 on an old laptop and buying it through the Windows Store there.

Microsoft: helping gamers play all across the world, except for when the game uses your country as the backdrop.

Yeah but if you try driving in Australia they take your car away and throw you in prison. With spiders.

I have a friend in Australia who has the game on Xbone next time I catch up with him I will ask if he had issues.

the Xbone is probably fine, this seems to be a problem with the Windows Store on my PC,

Hm. Is your locale in Windows set to Straya? You may want to contact M$ support as well. They can sometimes be helpful.

Windows location is on and region is set to Straya but the Store still shows US prices, I’m lucky in that I have heaps of old equipment lying around so I spun up a Win10 machine and it worked fine. I bought it on the other machine and can install it on this one.

I’ll figure out the problem when I’m not chucking a legitimate sickie.

If Australia existed,it would be on the form.

Hence, Australia doesn’t exist.
