How to make this game work in 2021

This guide will help you in your quest to play F1 2010 once again in 2021. It explains how to run it due to some outdated things that make the game not run.

Making the game work - Games for Windows LIVE

I'll just get straight to the whole thing. The main reason why you can't run this game today (when you hit play nothing happens and it shows you that you can hit play again) is because of Games for Windows – Live that died a long time ago. The easiest solution to this is by adding two files to the game main folder, my case would be: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\F1 2010

The two files are xlive.dll and xlive.ini

After you insert them in your game folder you can now run the game from steam without any issues. Check the next section to see additional info about graphics and some bug fixes regarding black screens and such.

Also here is the video that I made which shows you how to do the whole process (the video is from my F1 2011 guide, but the process is exactly the same since both games used GFWL):

P.S IF THE DOWNLOAD LINK IS DEAD OR DOES NOT WORK FEEL FREE TO ADD ME OR COMMENT AND I WILL POST A NEW ONE.
