BioShock 2 not working with Windows LIVE?

Hello

I downloaded BioShock 2 from direct2drive and installed. The game works well.

However, when I start the game and try and start a new solo campaign, he asks me to sign in with a Windows LIVE ID I got an Xbox LIVE account, so I tried to use that, and then he asked me to install an update. I clicked Yes, it downloaded in the game, then asked me to leave the game and complete the installation inside Windows.

Let it install and I restarted my computer for good measure. When I started the game again and tried to connect with my Xbox LIVE ID, he was asking the same thing, to install an update to be able to play the game. So be it, I tried to install it again to find something could have gone wrong. I get the same result after repeating steps.

I even recorded a new Windows LIVE ID and it does exactly the same thing.

I can't even register on the forums of Games for Windows for some reason, that really me ticked off.

Anyone have any ideas of what I can do? I feel like I've lost my money here because my game will let me not even play.

OK... I've recreated the problem and it has to with your hotmail/live account or your gamerstag with xbox live.

When you update bioshock 2 updates for the profile of this user in game then... delete all game profiles.

then go back in the game and create a new profile, type your live/hotmail account and password, and boom. it find your gamerstag online and give you the option to change the account settings while you are etc. When you are finished, close IE and return in bioshock 2. It will update one last time, then close the game. When you start back up, boom, no problem.

In addition, create a profile _ of it offline.

Apparently, the live/hotmail account is an entity distinct from the gamerstag, even if us PC gamers do not use an xbox, that we should not have gamerstags xbox to play this game online. Well...

report back

  • eGames Solitaire Master does not work with Windows 7

    Original title; Programs Application Applications Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang Application Compatibility hangs

    Tried master eGames Solitaire, this does not work with windows 7. When will Microsoft a compatabillaty mode that actually works. If this is not the case, stop advertising as such. Its time Microsoft was made responsible for the costs involved in the duty of the latest edition of the software because of their own mess.

    Then you may need to try the modes of virtualization I listed above depending on the version of Windows 7, you have installed. However, XP Mode was created mainly for commercial applications and not for games so graphics intense games may not work correctly even in XP Mode.

    You can check with the manufacturer to see if they have an update or a fix that will allow the game to be run on Windows 7. Since the site egames solitaire Master 3 or 4 Master Solitär does not show to be compatible with Windows 7. However, they show to be compatible with Windows Vista.

    It is the manufacturer of games to make their games compatible with the operating system back.

    Hope this will help.

    Hello Jimmie Jr.,

    The problem is that the software or programs that have been created for the previous operating systems such as Windows 95/98/XP have no way to correctly work with an operating system like Windows 7 that did not exist when the programs were written. Windows Vista and Windows 7 have been written on a different kernel of Windows 95 and Windows XP. However, you can try compatibility mode and if this does not work you can try using a virtual machine to run the software. Much of the time the software publisher will publish updates to make old software work with newer operating systems.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP or other system that the program has been run successfully operating.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If compatibility is not successful, then try and self-test program compatibility issues:

    1. open the program compatibility problems theStart button.

    Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, typetroubleshooter, then clickTroubleshooting. Under programs, clickRun done for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

    If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hope this helps you understand better.

    Please note that the Express upgrade does not support OEM, MSDN-Academic, Volume (the student faculty licenses) license.
