Batman: Arkham city: Games for windows live doesn't pop up!

Hi, I'm here today because I have some problems with Games for Windows Live, or GFWL. I used it for many games, including Arkham Asylum, in which GFWL works fine, but when I try to open up GFWL in Arkham city pressing home, nothing happens. I reinstalled GFWL, updated it, and did all sorts of things, but nothing seems to be working. Any fixes? (Basically, I'm saying that even with GFWL installed, GFWL does not pop up in Arkham City even when I press home button and the "LIVE" button in-game.) Thanks in advance.

    Actually I've found a simple solution, after trying numerous different ways to correct it:

    Do a fresh install of GFWL (Yes, most of you will have done this already).

    Navigate to your game's installation directory.

    Whilst in the directory, go through > Binaries > Win32, and delete the xlive.dll file found there.

    After doing so, you shouldn't have any issues. If you're concerned about this method, just back up the xlive.dll file first.

    Hi. I tried doing exactly what you said but there is no xlive.dll file in my installation directory. What on earth do I do?

    So i tried all the solutions stated in the thread... NONE helped me... Then i found one of my own and it all worked like charm.. I am with Win 8 64bit... I believe that my solution is applicable to all 64bit OSes... Since GFWL is made for 32bit systems when we install it on a 64bit the following files:

    xlive.dll

    xlive.dll (Security Catalogue)

    xlivefnt.dll

    xliveinstall.dll

    xliveinstallhost.exe

    are installed in “Windows\SysWOW64 instead of "windows/system32" where GFWL looks fro them once Batman starts...

    All you have to do is copy the files above from SysWOW64 to system32... in the Windows folder... it's the only thing that worked for me ;)

    Good luck :D
