What did they do with the AC launcher (it did have a launcher right?)

I'll tell you in about half an hour when it's finished downloading.

Great, thank you.

 

[Storm360]

So do non GOTY AA keys redeem the original non GOTY game? Its bugging me having 2 ACs but only the GOTY of AA

 

[FloppyDelux]

sweet, downloading the GOTY of AC , cant wait to play the game again.

What are the odds for Red Faction Guerrilla, GTA4+Episodes and the Capcom games of them being updated?

Well it looks like it's happening for Capcom games: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=698968

 

[drizzle]

Thanks for the info.

I'm not 100% sure on GTAIV being non transferable even with HexEditing. I never actually bothered to play the game and I'm going by something that somebody said on my friend group forum back in 2009. I remember that she lost the save, even after knowing about the hex editing. I don't remember why she didn't manage to transfer it.

I assume it's the encryption.

But the other two examples (saves assigned to a UUID, which you can hexedit to another UUID and saves not assigned to a UUID, which you can simply copy over to a different folder) are 100% true (because I did them myself).

 

[moeppel]

damn, wasn't finished with my playthrough of AA yet... god damn i want my saves back :/

 

[vg260]

GOTY Edition via a Steam code (bought at GMG last year). I just tried to put my old Steamworks save, it does'nt work.

Oh crap, that's worse than I thought then. I would have thought those would have carried over at least.

Didn't the fallout games use it too? I've been holding off playing them until it gets removed.

Only 3, but it's completely optional and can be disabled: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Fallout_3#Play_without_Games_for_Windows_-_LIVE

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

I will finally buy AC.

 

[finley83]

Good on them for removing all this and upating everyone to GOTY. Better late than never!

 

[Nethaniah]

Only F3 has GFWL and it doesn't even use it for anything usefull, if you're into mods you're at times required to remove it anyway IIRC.

 

[Slowdive]

Glad they removed GFWL but I'm a bit annoyed about my save, I hadn't completed it 100% yet.

 

[finley83]

Yeah, it's literally disabled using a 50kb dll file you drop in next to the exe.

 

[Green Wiggly]

• Retail versions should now activate on Steam (still needs confirmation)

Please be true...

 

[Stitch]

They should remove Vanilla AC, it's useless now anyway. Can't activate it because they removed the CD-Key.

 

[Madrugador]

I wonder which game will be next. I hope it's Dark Souls.

 

[Carm]

Unless they just didn't bother putting it in the description, the Batman Inc. Suit isn't included in the AC GOTY? That was only available on the GFWL Marketplace. I have the files still, I wonder if I could just insert them into whatever folder in the new Steamworks version.

Codemasters and Capcom have no excuse now about waiting to find out more information after that post to the Batman community basically confirming gfwl is shutting down in a year.

 

[spacemonkeynation]

I'm a bit confused. I have Arkham City (standard, not GOTY) on Origin. Should I be able to paste my CD Key into Steam to download the GOTY version without GFWL there?

 

[Grief.exe]

I wonder which game will be next. I hope it's Dark Souls.

Dark Souls, Halo Trilogy, and Gears of War.

 

[Unai]

I wonder which game will be next. I hope it's Dark Souls.

I will wait until they patch GfWL out of Darksouls to play it. Worse case scenario I'll just play it offline when GfWL shut down.

 

[BetterWorldz]

There have been updates to the registry app, but nothing official yet. I will keep my eyes open for that one.

I meant, based on what we know on the way DS handles saves, should they still be compatible if it eventually gets patched?

 

[Grief.exe]

This just posted, Capcom to remove GFWL as well

Theoretically you should be able to, the system doesn't seem to be implemented as of yet.

Capcom needs to patch their games, but I wonder if they even have the resources for it.

 

[Madrugador]

Dark Souls, Halo Trilogy, and Gears of War.

Grief.exe
Don't stop believin'~~~ hold on to the feeling

 

[Razorskin]

Just checked my library and I do have the AC GOTY edition along with the standard edition. Nice. I was hoping that would be the outcome.

Well now JaseC won't kill himself

 

[kuYuri]

Dark Souls, Halo Trilogy, and Gears of War.

http://i.minus.com/ijqhXpmjsBjeV.gif

Give me Bulletstorm, that game deserves a second chance more than any.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Yes, just waiting now on Fallout 3, Dark Souls and GTA IV.

 

[spacemonkeynation]

Give me Bulletstorm, that game deserves a second chance more than any.

Yeah, Bulletstorm was incredible. I can't believe I overlooked that game for so long because I thought I would hate the juvenile humor. It turned out to be one of the best shooters I've ever played.

I also hope they rip GFWL out of Gears of War. I came incredibly close to picking up the PC version during the announcement of the program closing.

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

GFWL removal is awesome, losing my 30h save is not.

Will uninstall, after card idling.

 

[Night_Trekker]

Well it looks like it's happening for Capcom games: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=698968

Oh boy! Can't wait to lose my 18 hours in Dead Rising 2. I should just stop playing right now.

 

[Grief.exe]

Bulletstorm is more like this than a Shaq.gif though

 

[Liamario]

Has Arkham City been updated for everyone, or is this still ongoing?

 

[Infinite Justice]

YYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

.wait do I keep my save?

 

[Crawl]

So waiting on updates from Nordic Games, Rockstar and Codemasters for their gfwl removal plan/policy?

 

[dex3108]

So they added Retail keys for GOTY editions but not for Standard editions? Oh well i will wait couple of days

Why didn't say so earlier!
I would have bought Dead Rising. I hope they patch it out before Christmas...

 

[Grief.exe]

Cards added to both versions

Good day Mark. Thank you for contacting us at Capcom Technical Support.

We are still not 100% what is going to happen regarding the winding-down of Games For Windows Live.

It should be possible to keep playing and saving until the end of Games For Windows Live - please keep checking regularly on www.capcom-unity.com for news as we progress.

With many thanks.

Care to go into more detail? Is it a retail version, digital, etc?

The system may not be fully implemented yet, the capability is there though.

Digital. Bought from GMG. Steam doesn't recognise the code.

 

[NG28]

If I bought AA through GFWL Marketplace the key won't activate on Steam correct?

 

[doniewhalberg]

Huh. So I got the update, gfwl removed, played ten minutes to check everything was good. OUtside of my sdave being gone it's fine. Got another update right there, GFWL and securom patched back in, save back. New save gone. Confusing. Anyone else get this?

 

[Infinite Justice]

going for 75% off while this announcement is going on

nice way of drumming up some interest

 

[JustinBB7]

I had normal version of both games, now I have 4 versions total, both normal and both goty versions..

People in the steam community hub are also mentioning that, new patch that brought back GFWL... =w=;
