Fable III - Failed to contact key server

[Tenryu]

Its been over 24 hours now and still no CD keys... but what really pisses me off is steam is still selling the game without notifying buyers they will not be able to play the game.

How long does it typically take Steam to get new CD keys?

I need some help here, with the GFWL marketplace dead, I can't seem to get the DLC to work. They didn't download, and I have verified the cache, and still nothing. I don't know if this matters, but I did insert my keys through the whole xbox thing for my GFWL account, don't know if that screwed me up or not. Can anybody help?

Do the keys through Steam.

How do you mean?

Activate the keys via Steam. If this doesn't work activate them via GFWL.

I just tried that, I can't seem to activate it after I did it on the xbox site and says its invalid in GFWL, and steam doesn't seem to have the DLC working properly

if you are logged into gwwl and you get the codes for the dlc that steam gives you when you click view cdkey for fable 3 copy those codes that it gives you for the dlc into the redeem code section of the marketplace screen and once you have them all accepted click view/manage downloads to open the gfwl client and install them one at a time

I tried that, and no, I wasn't trying to download them all at once. I couldn't download any of them. Before I did the xbox site, I was able to attempt to download, but since I did the xbox site, it's saying they are invalid. And everytime I try to view downloads, it tries to open the marketplace, which in turn crashes due to the marketplace having been shut down for good

it worked just fine for me idk why its giving you problems

Because I was an idiot and instead of redownloading GWFL from the xbox site, I downloaded it from Microsoft's site which is apparently the outdated version

[Devilswarchild]

it shouldnt matter where you downloaded it from cause either way they would both have to download updates right?

Oddly enough it seemed to have, cause when I downloaded it from the microsoft site, it was doing the same thing before I did that, but when I downloaded it from the xbox site, it was working

I had trouble with the dlc downloading but then I uninstalled games for windows live (this included two different programs named very similar) and then reinstalled games for windows live (just google this) and then the dlcs just downloaded like they should. Someone mentioned that this was due to Microsoft having different versions of gfwl, so this will make sure that you are all up to date and there is no conflict. Hope this helps someone!

just to get it to give you a fresh install of the client
