Games for Windows Live how to save GTA IV Savegames

A few weeks back I installed (via Windows updates) Games For Windows Live and it diverted Launcher of GTA IV all my save games of this profile now gone. All progress is lost. I restarted the game from the beginning and finally reached this point.

But there are few questions.

How to get back up to record games. What profile must be saved from App data or similar folder. And reinstallation of one or the other or both Windows and GTA IV. I have to recognize correctly save the profile and games. Am I'll settle GFWL (reinstall on windows) or I can play games with GTA IV save and start the game with the GTA IV launcher. In short be Games For Windows Live to play GTA IV. I really hate GFWL recital that he deleted hours of gamplay saved on my drive.

  • Games for Windows Live (GFWL) on Windows 8

    Hello

    I'm under 64-bit Windows 8 and we found that all games that use GFWL will not work. However, each game does something differently.

    -The games also running through Steam do not work either.

    -For a single match, GFWL does not work when the game starts so I can't save it.
    -For another game, GFWL runs, but then crashes once I try to do anything in this regard, such as sign or view my account - no error message.

    I looked on the forums and have tried everything my machine GFWL wiping and reinstalling, updating my drivers video and nothing seems to work!

    Because if it is a Microsoft product I find it quite incredible that I have so many problems.

    Thank you.

  • Games for windows Live does not work on the games?

    Hello

    I bought guerrilla red faction 2011 on steam. I did the installation of clicked cloth expected to download then when I got round to play, he said Xlive.dll is missing from you're computer re install the program can solve this problem. But anyway this isn't why I ask this question when I enter my windows live game isn't on the game I press home nothing happens so I can't save my game it says when I click on play on steam, it is said that its installation, but it does nothing please help I love this game into pieces! :(

    Many old games install an outdated version or GFQL.
    Try to download and install the latest version of GFWL-

    This would indicate that the game is installed, Yes?

    -"When I click on play on steam it says that his installation--
    While the game may have installed does not mean that Steam will allow you to play again. Almost always fixes/updates Steam games (even solo) before it will let you play.
    It is the same for the Steam Client. They tried to make updates at different times, and you have

    -"I press home nothing happens so I can't save my game it says.
    You can usually save a game without logging in GFWL, but when you can't.
    or do not want to access GFWL online, it will not save your progress and stats on your online GFWL
    account for everyone to see.
    When a game when steam is offline, you can not connect to GFWL being GFWL

  • Where is the location of games for Windows Live Marketplace Temp?

    Hi guys,.

    I'm having if bad weather try to install Games for Windows live. I downloaded the http://www.xbox.com/en-ZA/Live/PC/DownloadClient Installer and ran it on my computer Windows 8. The downloader has downloaded the files required to install GFWL, but for some reason some got to the point where it said 22.3 MB to 30 MB download and then immediately jumped and said GFWL is now installed.

    When I try to open GFWL, it is ALWAYS asking for me to install Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant. I downloaded that and tried to install several times, but without success!

    1. I tried to install with Windows 7 compatibility. -NO Succeess
    2. I tried to install as administrator (right click Run as administrator) - WITHOUT success.
    3. Every time when I open the installer, he don't ask me to redownload the Setup, which makes me believe that he jumps right to the installer downloaded previously, which the Setup file stored somewhere!
    4. I uninstalled and reinstalled SEVERAL times and did a reset later.

    I have reason to believe that this file is corrupt because it did not download the full 30 MB as indicated by the program. So my main question is, how do I delete temporary files, where the hell it might be, so that I can re - run the installation program and do the installation of games for Windows Live Marketplace program redownload the files from scratch.

    Thanks in advance!
    M

    Hi Morne,

    Temporary files are stored and used in the TEMP folders and TMP/system or the user temporarily a task is performed.

    Well, if you want to delete the temporary files, then try the following steps:

    a. press the Windows key + R on the keyboard. Type folder in the Run dialog box and press ENTER.

    b. press on Ctrl + A to select all temporary files and press SHIFT + DELETE to remove the temporary files.

    Once you have finished the temp deleting files that you can download and check the status of the issue.

    Poster with the exit status.
