Gormongous Posted July 17, 2014 No, that was either never a thing or Microsoft decided not to turn off the servers. GFWL is still running. I had a problem recently where I'd uninstalled Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant because why the fuck would I need that, and Bulletstorm would literally just not launch at all. It turns out GFWL needs whatever that is. Games For WINDOWS LIVE, huh, go figure. Anyway, dunno if that's your problem. Probably not. I've also had issues where GFWL wouldn't sign in properly from inside a game unless I'd booted up the marketplace first outside. After having formatted, I've got everything running how I imagine a whiteboard said it should run, but I'm terrified of messing with one leg of the tripod (GFWL client, GFWL marketplace, Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant) and tipping the whole thing over again.

Twig Posted July 17, 2014 I've never had that particular problem, but I've heard about it happening often enough. What a mess GFWL is. Ugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted July 17, 2014 Completely remove what ever version of GFWL installed with the game, install the newest from here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/pc/DownloadClient. Sign in from the client outside the game first, then open the game and try to connect. Then if that breaks (which it did for my friend that I bought Dark Souls for) remove it all and do it again.

tegan Posted July 18, 2014 The capital S in "MicroSoft" is weirding me out. I feel like it was at one point a dollar sign, or at least read "MicroShaft." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted July 18, 2014 Thanks Dewar I will give that a try and coax I necro'd this thread because the Google machine didn't quite get me a useful answer, thanks for the ideas guys/gals This is one of those frustrating programs where you do all the steps, it doesn't work, you remove it and do the exact same steps, then it suddenly works for no good reason. I have no idea how the install is so busted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
