Games that dont work...

What issues have you had with GFWL? I had an issue once, had to uninstall and re install all the .net packages. I found a program that would install all of them in succession up to the latest that fixed many of the issues windows xp has with installing them.

Is this just for ATI users? I know this is no consolation, but BEL works for me. (Win7 64 Bit GeForce 550Ti) Can't remember whether I had to do anything funny for it to start working.

[EDIT] http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1331567 for many tips on getting it working. Hope this helps :)

Run in compability mode.

I'm currently playing Commandos 2 without problems. Windows 7 x64

I should have known better than to go ATI, I have always disliked them due to driver issues and bloating, but this card was on sale extremely well priced.

Haven't noticed anything.

I´ve got an AMD card aswell and have no issues playing Metro.

Ah, well the big issue with Metro 2033 for the most ATI users is simply that Metro 2033 wants the Phsyx driver installed on your pc. And this driver is only compatible with Nivida cards. Ati dont assist physx drivers. So you need to get this driver installed even if your card cant deal with it.

Freeze now and then for couple of seconds.

these work

Yes and Yes. It could be because its an old 4670 so the drivers are not completely current, but it should still run it. From what I can see, its not really a new game.

I remember something happened with Skyrim for me, they released an update like 2 weeks in, completely ruined it. I couldn't run it until just recently.

Actually, I would blame more Obsidian for that one. I couldn't watch the endings - game was crashing every fucking minute.

I had problems with New Vegas too, it just kept loading and loading forever. I managed to fix it though.

I find once I exit then restart the second time it works.

Do you have Games for Windows Live installed? If not, kaboom. If so... I dunno.

Solution: Swap the names of the Launcher and the actual game itself. It'll try to open the launcher, but since you swapped the names, it'll open the game instead.
