Red Faction Guerrilla issue with Steam?

Update your catalyst drivers?

You have a pretty good pc there,

I'm sure you can run it smoothly.

steam causes it?
then.

Unchecked "Enable Steam Community in-game" under properties.
Just try to, some guys had this problem too.

That's what's so weird. Drivers are all recent as this is a new PC and I made sure to update everything. However, from what I've read it relies on GFWL and no matter what I do, the game won't load at all. It freezes once Steam minimizes

Try loading GfWL independently? I use it so infrequently I cannot remember if you can, but last time I had this problem it was two fold. GfWL had to update to download an update for the game or something.

I had simular problems installing GTA4. Fixed by going to xboxlive and creating/logging into my account.
Also, check this link to make sure xbox servers are up and running. If not you won't be able to login until they are working.

I had some issues running Guerrilla too .. first I couldn't set the right resolution and change the video settings, game wouldn't start after so I had to delete the config file to reset all settings for it to work again. To get over this I added a line to run the game in DirectX 9 instead of 10.. To do that you can right-click on your game in Steam, then go to Properties, then under the General tab click on 'Set Launch Options..', add the line '-nod3d10' in there (without the ' '). Not sure this will fix your problems but it might help.

I heard Guerrilla causes too much problems on windows 7, that why its no longer avaiable in steam store, sadly dont know how to fix it.

Use DX9 with this command "-nod3d10"

Are you running any form of antivirus / Comodo Defense+ that might have hampered the install of the game / GFWL? Also, did you try running the game as administrator and also try running the game in compatibility mode > Vista / XP?

I have Red Faction Guerrilla installed and it works flawlessly.

Windows 7 x64
GTX 660 (but I played with my old 260 too)

I also have Intel i3 and HD graphics

But am having the exact same problem

PM me when you find a fix!

Try installing games for windows live, google it.

Even if you can get it running, its still a clusterfuck of issues

Interesting. I'm wondering what the solution is.

I had issues with graphics of this game freezing and turning most stuff off from the menu helped. But if you can not even get to the options, it's quite tough. Perhaps, there's an .ini you could edit or something?
