Ugh, bought Might and Magic franchise pack from good ol DH, doesn't come with Shades of Darkness(the expansion pack for VI)

Thanks Ubisoft.

Yeah, pretty sure GFWL just doesn't work with Windows 8 at all. You may be able to find a patch for specific games to bypass it, not sure. I just went with Windows 7 for this very reason.

Works fine here after I got it running. Which wasn't easy but now no problems.

Windows 8.1 Preview

Jeez you guys, I don't care how enticing that start icon is, /stay away/ from 8.1. The performance is atrocious right now, the OS is super unoptimized and eats resources. Windows 8 is far better for gaming right now. I went through the pain of downloading/installing it, re-setting up all my stuff again, then uninstalling it and re-setting up all my stuff again because it was awful. On my laptop, I went from a solid 60fps on high playing BF3 to 27-30 on low to medium. It's also not compatible with everything right now.

Let me just say again that I am absolutely loving Dark Souls. It's turning out to be one of the best games I have ever played. So glad I picked this up!

Yay! KSP would have been nice with a bigger discount but I'll take it with that price. Wonder how much longer it stays in Alpha or Beta though... Steam Achievements would be nice to have at some point.

Yes it does... just takes some tweeking. Right click installer, go to properties... change compatibility to windows 7 then run as administrator.

C'mon man, patches for specific games to bypass? nolol

no, I did try that. What I'm saying is that it won't install.


Thanks, I'll try that.

Edit: THAT WORKED! WHOO!

Excellent! :) Question is why only one of those worked. Actually, I don't really want to know.
