So a friend of mine got me Dead Rising 2, which would be great if it actually worked. Since it requires GFWL ("Goofle") to even save the game, one must log in to Goofle to play the game in relevent fashion.

This wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that the game doesn't seem to realize Goofle exists. Which is strange, because all of my other Goofle-using games work just fine.

But not Dead Rising 2! I've tried updating Goofle, I've tried logging into the Goofle client before starting the game, I've tried everything in every Dead Rising 2 troubleshooting thread I've seen, I've tried making a blood sacrifice to Khorne, all to no avail. It just doesn't want to acknowledge that Goofle even exists.

QA really earned their paychecks this time.

UPDATE: This problem stopped happening after I had to format my drive and do a fresh Windows install. So, the moral of the story is, never try to fix something with precision when a nuke will do.

  • mine can't even get into the game (on the pc) it just says... games for windows - live must verify the release date of your game. please make sure that your computer is connected to the internet. can anyone help me i have tried everything even got a games for windows live account

  • @nichlasdkbdkb Try pressing "Enter" when that window comes up. There's an "OK" button that's meant to be clicked, but the window almost always comes up the wrong size so it can't be seen or pointed to with the cursor.

    How's that for bone-headed design?

  • Hi Can you tell me exactly how to do it?

  • @sawerek1 I'm not the one giving advice on how to pirate games correctly when the video description says that my problem is with a legitimate, bought copy. If I needed help using Bittorrent, I certainly wouldn't ask on youtube.

  • @AlhazredsGamingGoo i am not troll but you must be a fucking idiot if you cant install or run a game.. fucking jerk
