Girish Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Are you updating from within the game? If so, reinstall the game and apply the patch manually from outside the game. Also, try reinstalling GFWL and update it from outside the game too. Have you tried updating video drivers? As a last resort, try Xliveless and see if you can get the game to load.

Extortionate Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I wish people would stop telling other people to reinstall the OS just on game issue.. If you do this, don't give up your day job for a PC technical support role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkey82 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I wish people would stop telling other people to reinstall the OS just on game issue.. If you do this, don't give up your day job for a PC technical support role. I wish people would start to read 1) I never ever give the "reinstall OS" advice if there is any ANY chance that a tweak or a reinstallation will work 2) when a guy spends two weeks tweaking, reinstalling, cleaning and whatnot (during which process he probably does more harm the good) fresh Os installation is the only way to go. AND it save A LOT of time. In the future keep your dumb comments to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you either lied or you offered a proof you can't read. And you call yourself a real man? lol Real men can admit they are wrong.

Extortionate Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) You're the one who can't read. I said "people", hoping 'people' would read it. If I wanted to refer to you I would of quoted your "Reinstall the OS and save yourself a lot of hassle." directly. Just take a pill and chill.
