Game won't start....

[Drunk2]

Really, that says it all. No errors, no windows.... no nothing. No processess lingering...

Any ideas?

[Drunk2]

OK... So Windows 10 isn't compatable with Games for Windows? So I can't play this? Kind of BS. I saw a discussion below suggesting I crack the game. That's... dumb.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MS... anywho, if you have this issue...

Yes, I'm having the same issue. Pretty disappointing that I can only play in single player after following the fix you linked.

Thank you so much!

GFWL is compatible with Windows 10, i have numerous games on windows 10 with GFWL. Just download the latest Windows live http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/pc/DownloadClient and it should run. just dont use the GFWL that comes with this game as it wont work.
For anyone that has a working GFWL and wants to play this game i suggest you dont hit play after downloading till youve deleted the LIVE and VC redist install files in the steamapps/common/bulletstorm/install folder

I didnt have to download anything. Weird. Just installed - something updated in-game and BAM it works.

Sounds like your a former user of GFWL, they don't tend to have problem unlike new users

Yeah, I have my old account (had to reset the password, cause couldnt remember it - didnt use gfwl for like 3-4 years).
Enjoyed multiplayer - even with "bad connection" hanging on my screen all the time.

its the other way around most of the time if you already have GFWL installed. because it uninstalls your working GFWL and installs the outdated one Or doesnt do anything at all and just hangs on installing VC redistributable.

It can do this yes, but from what I have heard so far is that is affects windows 10 users on any newly installed game, on rare occasions it also keeps on trying to install everytime you boot up the game.

Every user has a different experience, users that have GFWL previously on their computer tend to have less problems getting GFWL to work than a brand new user. Even an old account will smooth out most problems.

indyxt had the old version of GFWL which is why he was not affected, the ingame update is proof of this.

I've seen the various problems this game has and 80 - 90% usally comes down to a GFWL being the reason. I sometimes wish they turned the thing off for good, then EA might have had an incentive to transfer to something else.

Usually if you want the Multiplayer the fix for this is to Install a newer version of GFWL, this can be found on xbox live, just type into the search engine 'Xbox Live GFWL download' for best results uninstall the old version that came with the game before installing the new one.

GFWL works on everything from XP to 10.

Most people tho would recommend the link above as the Multiplayer ain't that active, although there are a few of us around willing to play.

I already posted the link for the new GFWL in reply to his thread
Thats not in most cases, most cases are it hangs with GFWL installed or not. It hanged for me on install even tho i had GFWL installed. I then deleted the LIVE install folder from the game and the VC redistribution install files both from the install folder in the Bulletstorm install folder found in steamapps/common. The GFWL with this game is out of date so affects everyone, but can update itself sometimes IF you havent got GFWL installed. IF you already have GFWL installed it will install over your working version or hang as mentioned before. Theres a whole heap of posts in all games that use GFWL that say installing the game breaks your already working GFWL

Most cases can, however the forum only represents the users that have reported the problems.
I had the new version myself and didn't have an issue when installing Bulletstorm again.
