How to get MKK and GFWL Working on Windows 8

Although GFWL is on its way out, not all games will replace it with Steamworks. Until then, try this guide if you have Windows 8 and are having problems. This should help. I still haven't upgraded to 8.1 yet so if anyone can confirm this guide works with that too, that would be great.

Steps

Windows 10.
The procedure is:
Go into Apps and Features on Windows 10 (right click on the Start Menu to reach it), and uninstall “Microsoft Games for Windows – LIVE Redistributable” and “Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace”.
Reboot your system. (This IS required.)
Download two GWFL files: xlive.ini and xlive.dll. You can download them from my Dropbox here ( https:// / www. dropbox. com/s/ be930uac7fnsiuf/MKAK_fix.rar?dl=0) .
Place the two files into your MKAK install directory. The default should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection.
The game should now work properly.

For me on Windows 10 x64, works, after copy the xlive.dll and xlive.ini from instruction: to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection
