Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE

Trying to run the Client itself is useless, as the Marketplace is no longer online. You must just install it, and then run your game. It should log in correctly. Both vanilla SF4 and SFxTK are working fine here.

what if you don't have Microsoft live profile and when i downloaded the patch and try to lunch it can connect to the internet

I keep getting this old school error message when I enter the serial key.

Hello Unknown 🙂,

until now, i had the same windows showing up.

My problem wasnt the serial key because i got it registered with the 80_PA offline SecuROM activator, but when i wanted to login with my Live-Account ingame, i suddenly saw this window.

I ended up fixing it with the following step:

In order to successfully login to the game (on my Windows 10 machine) i had to go into the Windows-Settings and under "Accounts" -> "E-Mail and Accounts" i needed to login with my Live-Account as "Account for Mails, Calendar and Contacs" and in addition i needed to login on the same page under "Accounts used by other apps".

Afterwards i was able to login with exact the same account ingame.

I guess Microsoft maarried Windows-Live Accounts for Games with the System (Windows 8 and later) and it'll not run separately.

I apologize for my poor english knowledge (i am german) but i hope ill be able to help you with the problem.

Best regards 

Wilhelm Konrad

We are grateful to have a developer such as yourself providing immense value to the PCGamingWiki Forums!
Thank you @Garrett! 

The Fable 3 Community in particular have been joyously using your GFWL utility since 2021! Thank you!
(here's a link to my formerly working Fable 3 GFWL Guide, https://steamcommunity.com/id/600400300/ )

 

I assume that you've retired from GFWL, or would you consider trying to resolve the following GFWL issue that's halted many in the Fable 3 Community, because I assume you're the foremost expert,

Attached are screenshots of: downloading, installing, and launching GFWL, as of 11.07.24,

The software installs as intended, launching the executable and attempting to interface with GFWL results in: "there may be a problem with the LIVE service"

This "problem with the LIVE service" has not ceased in recent moths, what are your recommendations?


Thank you for the resources you've uploaded for our benefit @Garrett, people like you keep our dreams alive!

Best wishes!
