Games for Windows Live and GTA Episodes from Liberty City

I haven't played this game for a while and decided to give it another turn. While I can select "play offline" and launch the game, I can't save any progress unless I connect to my Windows Live account.

Now I can log on as Google Chrome or Explorer Windows without any problems (mind you that it seems to have changed this format to Xbox Live) that since I linked my account 'Live' to my Rockstar games account 'Social Club '.

When I start the game in order to save any course or load a saved game, I need to access my Windows Live account, but he repeats to me than the account log-in / password is incorrect, even when I run it under Chrome at the same time on my second monitor

I read that Microsoft has completed Windows Live and if they have KILLED MY GAME and cost me money because the game is no longer needed. What is the point of having a game you can't save any progress in and start all over again from the beginning, whenever you try to play?

My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64

Anyone know how to get around this problem

See you soon

I've seen a lot of discussion over the years about various games with GFWL and being not able to save unless it's connected, but I've never had this problem (except for "ghost" in DIRT 3 cars).
Fortunately I did not have a problem with - "account log-in / password is incorrect," -be

(Finally, no, since I started to avoid going to the line, or GFWL was updated).

With GTA4 and EFLC, I have always used the "xliveless" (replaces the xlive.dll in the Games folder), which is on various modding sites, but you can not play online when using the xliveless fix.

I don't really remember if this was necessary in order to save this game when it is offline. I just wanted to avoid GFWL right from the start, because he was always wrong. With this fix, you do not even a GFWL screen.

It is always say Social Club to play if offline, but I don't bother typing in any "references."

(I've just loaded EFLC and recorded in an empty slot to check a few minutes ago).

'I read that Microsoft has completed Windows Live'

It was supposed to be the case, but I think it's always hanging over our heads.
-J' loaded the bats-AC last week and managed to connect to GFWL offline.

GFWL wonder up-to-date, but I decline the update and it then disconnects online me anyway.

The game did record the next control point.

Some games have been "worn" more steam to become free GFWL. DIRT 3 is the last one you can "Add" your Steam account (or buy the 'new' Steam version w/o GFWL).

It may be useful to check Steam to see if you can "add" the game to your Steam account.

-C' is the first I've heard of linking GFWL Social Club.

Is the link between the GFWL to Social Club supposed to be also a way around the GFWL thus?

I guess it would be best if wanting to play online (if it can be done via Steam).

  • Games for Windows Live does not open

    Hello. I had the Client Games for Windows LIVE and the market installed on my PC for some time now (several years). I played many games, such as Halo 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, Batman: Arkham City, etc., which require this piece of shit software. However, recently, I've been making mistakes where I can't run Arkham City in what appears to be an error related to the GFWL client. Of course, when I tried to open market Games for Windows LIVE, I see the splash screen, but after a few seconds it disappears and the program does not start. I tried to reinstall both on the market and the client, each instance of the .NET Framework and Bing Bar, but also reset Internet Explorer and run CCleaner registry cleaning, all to nothing is helping. I paid for all of these games and I'm not going to sit idly by because of a strange problem with a piece - of-* DRM software. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I thought it would be more simple, but apparently, these errors can be caused by multiple scenarios
    Also, you can check your crash logs in %localappdata%\Microsoft\GFWLive\ I think to see if they show you something different from the error you get

    Hi D33Viilz,

    I found a post on the Games for Windows Live site that has addressed your question.  Here are the steps and the link to the original post:

    If you're running Vista, you can not uninstall all .NET Framework before 3.0.

    If you haven't already, you will need to download 3.5 SP 1 here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=en

    If you are running Windows 7, it should have the most recent of the .NET Framework.

    Also, I would say that you are using the tool Mod proposed (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) to completely remove Microsoft Games for Windows LIVE and LIVE Redistributable.

    When you have finished using the cleanup utility, check that it has been removed through programs and features.

    Restart your PC, and then re-download the newest Client of Games for Windows LIVE here: go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9640147

  • I bought the PC Version of Fable III of this year early and installed and created an account with games for windows Live!

    I bought the PC Version of Fable III of this year early and installed and created an account with games for windows Live! About 2 months ago, I formatted my computer and reloaded windows 7! Last night I downloaded Microsoft Flight and used my existing account to play! Today, I installed Fable III and the game won't start as it says that I am not connected to the internet! This is wrong since I write here for you! Why my game will not, organize that I have connected to my account last night with problem now? Please help me?

    Yes, unfortunately GFWL's an imperfect system. Steam has similar problems. I find the best way to avoid
    problems is to play all the games that are related to a system off line.
    I have absolutely no interest in what GFWL can offer online, in any case.
    Many games have a "fix" for GFWL, which are generally easy to find through a search.
    Of course these only help facilitate offside line.

    Try Timeslips Fable 3 GFWL remover - it is well known in the modding community, particularly
    its managers mod for Bethesda games and his job is safe to use.

  • ID of product required for games for Windows Live. Need some answers, please.

    Well, it's more a question of both parties.

    1. How can I recover my product ID for a game, I bought and installed on Windows Live, if I lost the manual with the ID?

    2. If this is not possible, then why is it an obligation to enter the product ID to be able to save the game?

    If the answer is something like "privacy... mackmackmackmack. ", then of course, I get it - BUT...

    who are we, people who legitimately buy the game?

    you need to install some 3rd party games on windows live and demand the product ID... do you think that you should then be responsible for the maintenance of this record?

    To answer the question on the entry of the product key, which is to prevent piracy of software for most (let's call security if you wish).  To be honest, it is not for lack of Microsoft that you have lost the code.  I don't know any way to get it back (I have the Vista code if it was still installed on the system - but not for each installed software).  What is a Microsoft game?  I didn't know this applies to 3 rd party software are well - I'm a little surprised, but it is not quite incomprehensible.

  • Impossible to update Games for Windows Live

    Games for windows Live will not uninstall

    I can't upgrade to the new version of GFWL because that will not uninstall, it keeps asking me for a CD.

    I tried to use the redistributable that I got from a game to uninstall, but it does not work either.
