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

Anonymous

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.

Hi there,

I have the same problem. Exactly the same - I mean, GWFL works fine for me in many other games (including Batman Arkham Asylum which, by the way, I installed a couple of days ago just to be sure...) but it won't work with Batman Arkham City.

I have tried everything you people have suggested (and many other things I've read on other forums)
- Reinstalled GFWL countless times (cleaning Windows registry in between),
- Installed Ms Live Messenger
- Checked (twice) that the Ms Live Id Sign In Assistant service is running and set as automatic
- Done that MTU thingie I read about somewhere else
- Checked that GWFL client correctly connects to my profile and lets me access the Marketplace
- (As I said) install Batman Arkham Asylum and verify that GWFL menu pops up and everything works perfectly
- Launch the GWFL client before I launch the game (and check the GWFLClient.exe is still running at the same time)...
- Launch the game directly from the Win32 Folder, with and without Admin Privs.
everything.
- Contacted WB Support... and they redirected me here since they couldn't really help me...
- Etc. Etc. No dice.
To sum things up... I bought the game days ago (BTW it's the "physical DVD" retail version). And I still haven't had the chance to properly play it. Well, if you don't count the first 2-hours session that was hopelessly lost when I exited the game, due to the fact that I can't save my progress...

It's really starting to get frustrating... Please, there must be something I can do...

Thanks in advance! :)

Hello. Try downloading Windows live messenger and try then. I had the same problem and it worked for me.

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.
