GFWL now incompatible with WinXP

One option could be to install a xp working version, then block the updater via a firewall, so it can't check or update to the current unworking version.

Well, i got it working. The thing is, updating GFWL didn't work. I had to completely uninstall and redownload and reinstall. GFWL controls the save games, and when i re downloaded in installed, how the games were saved was changed to a format where the game would no longer CTD.

This DRM has so many quirks, its disgusting. It's not a install and go type of DRM, its an install, troubleshoot, patch, troubleshoot, then run.

Steam, is just D/L and run. Gotta love that.
