I'm getting an error whenever i try an launch Fallout 3. The solution is to update GFW. But the executable just CRASHES and running GFW to look for auto updates hangs my whole system. Good jon, MS.

how about you uninstall all GFW entries from control panel and install again?

No GilloD is right, Fallout in particular is borked from a GFW perspective. You should browse my posts in the Fallout 3 thread from last year, because I was posting solutions to a bunch of problems that I was running into

GilloD · « **Reply #10 on:** February 09, 2010, 08:49:57 AM »

Had to reboot, uninstall, reinstall. Still a stupid system

Bioshock 1 does not have achievements on PC.

He clearly meant 2, Mana

Well then the only obvious thing to do is 1000 the PC and Xbox 360 versions as they count as separate games on your Gamerscore

demi · « **Reply #14 on:** February 09, 2010, 11:35:07 AM »

No doubt, but... nobody plays PC games. Would be difficult to get the multi

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #15 on:** February 09, 2010, 11:54:16 AM »

well, the 360 community will be larger at first, but i bet the pc community for the game lasts longer even though it's smaller

there are still people playing obscure pc games from ten years ago online, console gamers tend to move on to the next game after a month or so unless it's a MW2 or a Halo

I hate GFW.

T234 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 09, 2010, 12:13:31 PM »

The only thing (other than a handful of games) that bears the name GFW that's worth a fuck had Jeff Green as the Editor-In-Chief.

I thought it was common knowledge by now that GFWLive is trash.

Yup. There are still thousands of people that play WC2

If you like your XBL achievements, don't bitch about GFW. It adds points to your XBL profile.

multiplayer achievements are garbage anyway, who cares about them.

once I get my points in Dirt 2 on PC I might double dip for the 360 cheeves
