All I have to say is that after batman I will not buy another GWFL game (including bioshock 2). I currently have 3 GWFL (gears of war (which I liked) fallout 3 (which is ok) and batman (which seems really good).

The problem is that i was playing in ‘offline’ mode (and all is well). But then I wanted to download the free content for batman. To do that I had to update the client. Now I can no longer play in off line mode (yes I can create a new id; but then I can’t continue my current game; which is stored on the local disk). The whole thing is excessively confusing and restrictive and try to find a simple explanation of what is going on and like most of ms crap it is enshrined in secrecy. There is simply no reason for this crap at least with steam I can easily save and mod games. Anyways elemental is very high on my list of games to buy so I’m very glad they are skipping gwfl because I will not buy another gwfl game (and if games like those on pc came out for linux I would never buy another windows game).

Maybe an attempt to make up for this foolishness: -

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/95062-Stardock-CEO-Boycotts-UPS-Over-Fox-News

He attempts to clarify that its not because he supports Glenn Beck, but is upset that UPS aren’t supporting the network elsewhere, as if Beck is the only problem with Fox News. Fox news who are little more than the mouthpiece for Rupert Murdoch and his extremist views. Back during Bushes days, any government protests were labelled ‘Anti-American’ nowadays Fox News is encouraging any halfwit racist they can to get on a sponsored bus and go ‘protest’ Obama over the fictious ‘Death Camps’: –

I bought one GFWL game, Dawn of War 2. I really liked the idea of the single player campaign and wasn’t bothered about multiplayer at all.

I had huge problems getting GFWL to work. I could sign in on the web easily enough, but the game flat out refused. I found the fact that the single player campaign required you be logged in to GFWL to be slightly offensive given that it COULDN’T log in.

The tech support were pretty rubbish (insisting it was a firewall issue), and it took a week of googling Event Manager error messages before I managed to find a fix which worked. Which was of course nothing to do with the firewall, it was actually a Vista issue.

So Microsoft GFWL not working with Microsoft Vista. Bravo.

DoW2 was great though, but the hassle to get it to work really spoilt the experience. I came very close to pirating it on the basis that i’d already bought it and quite wanted to play it!

I want GFWL to work, but it just doesn’t. It’s too mixed and messed about whether it wants to be live XBox Live or different, while trying to look/handle the same, but not.

If Microsoft actually put the resources into it that they do for XBox Live with a team that’s actually focussed on the PC as a platform, then it may work. As it is, you’re lucky if it does what you want.

GFWL corrupted my arkham asylum savegame. it has happened to other people on forums yet no proposed fix. thanks to gfwl and its insistence on gifting us with the console experience i have to play the main game throgh again (collecting each stupid riddler achievementbait) before i am worthy do the good challenge maps. if i find anyone connected with this idea i would like to put my hand down their throat and mutilate their lungs.

Ta.

I think there’s a missink link in your post. Unless by this you actually mean an italicized word “this”, which I guess would be too clever for me to understand =/

I think I just spotted a full page flash ad of xbox live points, which is at least slightly ironic, considering the circumstances.

[Explanation of NAT]

Thank you for that. Except I’m not an idiot, which means I wasn’t talking about having the server hardcoded or Microsoft providing the server for free; yeesh. Establish_tunnel(Protocol, LobbyServerIPAddress|LobbyServerURL, PublicKey). Dev points the game at whatever server they pay for in one way or the other, either independently, GFWL, Gamespy, whatever. Tunnel Just Works at least on the client side, rather than the game dev taking, what, a few man-months to research and reinvent yet another hack across three layers of the IP stack. Seems like a prime candidate for infrastructure work to me.
