I had to run Win98/Me compatibility and Run as Administrator.

But once I got in the game it was stuck at 800x600 and graphics looked very blocky and muddy. I found a file called hardware_settings_config.xml file in \Libraries\Documents\My Games\OFRR\hardwaresettings. Just edit the part where it says "<resolution width="800" height="600"" to whatever your desired resolution is. Game looks and runs great now.

Did you have to install GFWL also? I've tried your instructions but get an error that I'm missing xlive.dll. However, GFWL wont install, either.

Also, thanks for your helpful replies. You're one of the few people in these forums not being an unhelpful, self-righteous jerk.

No, having to install GFWL was one problem I didn't have. From another thread, try this:

1. Uninstall “Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE Redistributable” AND “Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace”

2. Reboot Computer (DON'T SKIP THIS)

3. Download GFWL here:http://www.xbox.com/en-US/LIVE/PC/DownloadClient

4. Right click the GFWL installer, go to properties and change its compatibility to “Windows 7”. Save and exit.

5. Right click the installer, and choose “Run as administrator”

6. After it’s installed, run the GFWL game again.

I can confirm that is working, im using windows 8 64 bits, no nooed to launch as admin and no need to set compatibility to windows 7 or xp. just check if you have installed the latest xbox live program and microsoft software as well , i will add alink to the screenshot that way i dont type all the software i have installed.

Vale he empezado a buscar todo lo que muestras en la imagen pero, hay alguna forma de descargar todo eso sin aplicaciones secundarias que se instalen simultaneamente ??
