    GFWL Games crash after uninstalling GFWL


    Hi,

    I had an issue with games that use GFWL were it was continuingly asking me to log into my profile i would hit yes and it would just ask again and again.

    So i decided to uninstall reinstall GFWL and now no game that uses it will load it just crashes.

    i Have tried numerous things reinstalling the game, installing DX to no avail.

    Does anyone have any ideas. Messages from the event log below:

    Still struggling with this.

    Noticed in the error that it is referencing a xlive.dll which doesnt appear to exister in the winows32 folder.

    Also references a Syswow folder which is also not referenced.

    Could this be the issue?

    Thanks

    Ok,

    As i test i downloaded xlive.dll as a test and the game launched but i couldnt sigin in to my account.

    So this definately points to a problem with the xlive.dll fil not being seen.

    Has anyone any ideas?

    Thanks

    I cant find this file anywhere on my PC (xlive.dll).

    Can anyone confirm that this file should be there after installing GFWL client?

    Thanks

    Finally fixed it


    Ok,

    I finally sorted this doing the following:

    1. Uninstalled the client.
    2. Uninstalled the games.
    3. Unchecked hide OS file extensions so i could see the syswow64 folder.
    4. Deleted all files that began with xlive* in the filename.
    5. Rebooted.
    6. Installed a GFWL game.
    7. Rebooted again.
    8. Launched the game.

    All my games that rely on this damn client now work correctly

    Cheers
