Title: GFWL
Post by: Smooth Groove on December 30, 2013, 04:37:31 PM: Is there any way to download previously purchased PC games?

Microsoft website says I could but the client won't let me connect, probably because it's already been disconnected.

"best answer" :rofl

Last post in the thread is recent and suggests basically wiping all possible traces of GFWLM and starting over.

It worked for me too

Saved me some money. I was about ready to rebuy some stuff on steam.

GfWL Achievement Manager, scrub.

Unless it blocks that like GTA4 did.

Post by: demi on January 04, 2014, 11:52:58 PM: Lol, I can see lots of people using that to get all the GFWL games.

I think the only thing I should finish is that free game - Tinker

Got boring watching YouTube vids...
