just got delisted

[SargeCassidy]

Any guesses why it happened?

Mine is the same reason GTA IV and FlatOut Ultimate Carnage did (and then came back) - they ran out of GFWL keys.

[-v-]

Maybe they'll give it to Aspyr, they'll dump GFWL and sell it as another "remaster" of theirs? After all, the game still plays great, and it's a pretty good game based on the tv series, especially for a younger audience.

Aspye probably going to ruin it with a remaster

What's there to ruin, this game was already bad.

Their Battlefront wasn't the best, sure, but they are good at remastering single player games at least. Battlefront's main problem was the online related stuff, single player seemed fine to me.

Debatable, depending on what matters to you. E.g., the Aspyr update to KOTOR 2 bugged the lightsaber hilt textures[www.gog.com] such that sometimes the textures are present and sometimes they don't render properly, bugged the fog (original[deadlystream.com] vs Aspyr update[deadlystream.com], which also impacts the M4-78 Enhancement Project), removed EAX support, the new refresh rates (i.e., above 85 Hz) are buggy and can cause your character to become unmovable, and clicking on certain parts of the action menu are now finicky.

What we got in exchange for new bugs and a removed feature were higher resolutions out of the box (higher resolutions were already achievable prior to the Aspyr update, but previously required a solution like UniWS plus widescreen mods) and Steam achievements (the Aspyr update on GOG didn't even include Galaxy achievements). The fog bug and action menu issue in the Aspyr version are at least fixable, but EAX support can't be restored in the Aspyr version, and fixing the erratic lightsaber hilt textures issue in the Aspyr version will cause the game to crash at certain points, which also renders lightsaber hilt mods like Schematic Lightsaber Mod[deadlystream.com], TSL Default Replacement Hilt Megapack[deadlystream.com], etc essentially unusable with the bugged Aspyr version, unless you want to tediously keep switching back and forth in swkotor2.ini between "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1" (to fix the lightsaber hilt textures erraticism in the Aspyr version) and "DisableVertexBufferObjects=1" (to proceed past sections that crash the Aspyr version).

I will credit Aspyr with allowing owners to still download the "legacypc"/1.0b (i.e., original) version of KOTOR 2, as well as not delisting Battlefront I & II Classic. I think Aspyr has historically done a better job of 1:1 porting games (which used to be their core business) rather than remastering them. That being said, perhaps they've gotten better at remastering since the Battlefront Classic Collection, as remastering seems to be the focus of their business now.

Welp, and I passed on it so many times during previous sales. Should've grabbed it when I had the chance, lol.

@Liaaam Thank you, just bought.

I just bought it from cdkeys. can't seem to login to a windows live account to save it though so I don't know if that feature works or if I'm just having issues

Got delisted back in January but you can still buy it from numerous keysites for $2.

Did using the Game Bar in Windows not work? You may need to link your Steam account to your Microsoft account via the Game Bar or Xbox App. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/32420/view/3426703545290857169

The GFWL client couldn't handle 2FA (if you have 2FA enabled on your Microsoft account); I doubt using the Game Bar with this specific title inherits that problem. Previously you could get around the 2FA problem by setting up an App Password[support.microsoft.com] on your Microsoft account for the GFWL client (or you could turn off 2FA for your Microsoft account, which I wouldn't advise). Now that the Steam version of STAR WARS: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes has been patched, I don't think setting up an App Password (or, alternatively, turning off 2FA for your Microsoft account) is necessary. I haven't played the game after the 2022 November patch was applied, so I can't verify. [Edit: I redownloaded the game and can verify that creating an App Password or turning off 2FA are unnecessary post-patch. When I first launched the patched game, I was prompted to install an update for Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant 6.5, but after updating and restarting, the game worked fine.]

This guide suggests that it is pretty seamless.

If that doesn't work, there are guides on how to bypass GFWL.
