Operation Flashpoint Red River

[FlopScratch]

So i had this game many years ago and i have the the disk version but its not working, however i do have the game on my games for windows live account. Is there any possible way that I can download the game digitally?

Try redeeming the CD key on Steam, if it doesn't work, then you just have to rebuy the game.

Maybe get it on GOG, if you want it DRM free, if it's on GOG. But I say wait until Winter sale happens then buy your game, may get it upto 75% off.

Scratches? Maybe find a shop that does disk cleaning/buffer, and see if that fix the issue.

Is the read side of disc black?
then it's an Xbox game, console games..these discs are not supported for PC and PC roms drives.
This is a Microsft purchase right?

Steam has it for PC @ 9.99 that will be a digital download.
NOTE it is not supported in Windows 10. Microsoft has done away with Windows Live XBox Live. and as it Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Games for Windows Live it will only play on windows 7 and previous OS.

Since it's non steam you should be able to track it down online. There is a lot of old games 2nd hand games selling on Amazon etc.

You can find Red River for less than 3 bucks on keysites. Besides that, Red River works fine on Win10 and GFWL is no issue whatsoever, i played Red River about a month ago and it did fine!

It will run on windows 10 if you had upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10. And had it installed on windows 7 first.
It will install to a new windows 10 but the support for windows Live has been removed therefor it will not launch.
It even says it on the Microsoft download site. and sites like Steam that sell this game includes the quote>Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Games for Windows Live. in yellow and supported OS windows 7 and windows xp.
I had many games installed on my windows 7 that worked on windows 10 upgrade for this reason. :)

Support for GFWL has NOT been removed. The only thing that has changed with it is that the store, and only the store, is no longer available.

Nope, I tested the games myself, and my new system from 2016 has been Windows 10 ever since, never been upgraded from another OS, and they all work fine.

You simply just need to make sure you have the drivers that are needed installed, and that you get the latest GFWL from the website, not from the games folder that comes with them, or trying to do an update, as update doesn't work.

I'm not even kidding, here a screenshot Fallout 3, running, and with GFWL as well working perfectly fine.

The majority of the sites that state GFWL doesnt work on Windows10 have the answer 'upgrade the GFWL client and it works on Windows 10'.
