Hi guys,

quick query, how exactly do I get GFWL to work. I've downloaded the client setup an account and I can login etc. What I don't understand is how do I assign a games to the account? I was assuming that they are auto-detected but this doesn't seem to be working.

thanks in advance

Mini Ninjas isn't a LIVE title, it's a Games for Windows title however, Gears and GTA IV should however be LIVE titles, try with GTA IV and go to the options menu and click the "guide" button to open the LIVE interface to where you can sign in and alter various settings.

Also make sure you have the latest version of LIVE just to avoid bugs and compatibility issues and if needed download the latest patch for Gears and GTA IV.
(When logged in LIVE will prompt you to update anyway though.)

I've tried clicking on the guide option in both games, nothing happens. Live is updated and GTA IV has the latest patch.

A quick side query, using that key bug only works for GFWL games and not Games for windows? And are these the only games supported: http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-US/Live/Pages/catalog.aspx (+ re5/batman)
