Gears Of War

pxmm

No joy at all with GFWL. I have Gears of War and get constant
wargame-gfwlive.exe crashes. See
where it's been
established by users with a number of GFWL games that GFWL is the only common
denominator. Other games mentioned are Kane & Lynch, Unreal Tournament 3 and
Viva Pinata; to name but 3.

As there is no way to run GoW without gfwl i am now stuck with a £25 useless
game. Epic have not seen fit to even acknowledge the problem, and I don't
hear MS either. I'm surprised these newsgroups aren't full of posts about
this, maybe because there's not even a GFWL group...

Hi Pxmm,

The file you mentioned seems specific to gears of war , "wargame - games for
windows live executable" , I have found a place where you can download an
update for games for windows live , get it here :



Specifically I would recommend some MSCONFIG troubleshooting , I know my
gaming experience improved when I disabled all non essential services.
( )

Since disabling my LAN connection I have not had a day's grief with GOW ,
since Live is not supported in South Africa , all I needed to do was create a
live account once , disabling any internet connection for gameplay
drastically reduced the startup time for the game .

Hope some of this information was useful.
