I really think FH3 would very much benefit from a similar wrapper. The leaked OpusDev build doesn't have the UWP baggage but also isn't on the latest version, missing the last expansion pack but is completely open to modding. The UWP version is a headache, requiring specific Xbox related apps for the game to function and who's to say when later Windows versions will entirely stop supporting it, plus the game files are encrypted, preventing modding without workarounds. Poor performance is also a valid complaint, something they improved on in FH4. There's also some visual issues on the PC version, like rainy wet roads having missing reflections, or certain game resolutions making the entire game screen dimmer. I tried your wrapper with FH2 and I wouldn't be surprised if FH3 with a wrapper would run as well if not better than the native solution, plus it would be open to modding.

Do you think a similar solution could also be made for FH3? Yes, there already exists a PC port but it's a UWP app that requires various Microsoft Store apps to function, which means the game folder and files are also completely locked down for modding, unlike the console version which has no encryption.
