I finally connected to GFWL on Windows 10 x64
I finally got this GFWL client updated correctly, and user profile downloaded. You just have to run the game as administrator for GFWL to update/sign-in correctly

1. Install GFWL client from http://www.xbox.com/LIVE/PC/DownloadClient
2. In Steam client, right click on Bulletstrom -> properties -> Local Files Tab -> Browser Local Files
3. Go into folder: Binaries -> Win32
4. Right click on ShippingPC-StormGame.exe -> Run as administrator
5. The game will require to login with your existing Microsoft account,enter CDKey if required
6. Update GFWL. The download bar should progress. The update will then require you to restart the game by exiting the game. At this time, your user profile should not have downloaded correctly
7. After exiting the game, Windows will ask you to update and install the new GFWL client and Windows Live client
8. Update aforementioned clients
9. Back in the folder Win32, right click on ShippingPC-StormGame.exe -> Run as administrator
10. Log into GFWL again, user profile will now download, progress bar will move
11. BAM, you're in. You should now be able to play the game without running as administrator

What a hassle!

For many they only need step 1, but for others they need more than 11 steps and for about 30% that I have met, GFWL just refuses to work no matter what is done.

I remember back in the day when people said GFWL was reliable, how times have changed...

And thanks for the above aswell, might help a few people with probs on win 10, have added to the guide
