[RaelBR]

Hey there. i had some issues with save games and Game For Windows Live not working with the game, and after contacting the WB Support, in few minutes they replied with a solution that really work. So i´m just pasting the solution here to help you if your are having the same problem.

I was running the game on Windows 8 64 bits, and before contact the support i´ve tried to reinstall several times the GFWL and nothing... I think the key is to run it on Compatible Windows 7 mode and run as Administrator.

Good luck! ;)

Consegui, depois de muito trabalho, nem sei bem como é que funcionou, mas agora esta rodando bem.

Valeu

Você precisa instalar o GFWL no modo administrativo, e tenta rodar ele também no modo administrativo e com compatibilidade. Comigo funcionou só depois que eu fiz isso.

Before I reinstall it should I restart my comp after uninstallation?

Always

btw the new GFWL needs no W7 Compatibility. Only deinstall. Reboot. New Install. Done.
