FAQ: PC Games, Achievements and System Requirements

The number in parentheses is the recommended "Windows Experience Index" to play, followed by the required WEI; click on that to see the recommended system requirements to play.

 

...

 

 

Thanks for putting together the information and lists. Just thought I would point out that some of the links are busted. In each of the above, the WEI link in parentheses always redirects to the main GFWL page instead of the game's page.

 

I would post the correct links, but I don't see any WEI info on the game's page any more. Actually, there is hardly any info at all. For example, Gears of War -- apparently it only requires "1" for system memory. They really need to flesh out the game info on that site.

Well Bulletstorm is out next week for starters. :)

 

Section 8 should be in March sometime, Dirt 3 and Lego Pirates should by May I think?

 

 

Yeah, I was surprised to learn Bulletstorm had them. That game is fun as hell.

 

But with the others you mentioned it seems MS isn't ready to let GFWL fade out just yet.

not sure if this is the right place but ill ask anyway. any way of backing up your save files i just had to reinstall windows and lost my gears insane chapter 3, dr2 save now i need to hit level 50 again (insert cursing here).

 

again not gave saving just my save files so i dont get screwed again.

 

 

Someone please feel free to correct me because I've never had to do this on a PC game with GFWL:

 

But on both the XBOX and PC I've copied saves onto a USB stick for games that I had weird problems with.

 

Example: Test Drive Unlimited 2 had a weird bug at release that made a prompt show up that said your save was corrupted (since fixed and save files were fine) but to get around it I'd save a copy on the USB and then just load from that if I had issues.

 

Maybe something like that could work?

I'm looking to get a few PC games, mainly RE5 at the moment. I tried to see if i could run it using the link in the first post, so i select the game and then it stays on the "Gathering Information" page, which isn't a good sign :p.

 

I searched for the games at online stores and tried to find the requirements, which i couldn't. I did find a mini spec list on GAME.co.uk but it was pretty useless, mainly about download times. I did notice though it said it was compatible with XP + Vista, but i'm using W7. But does this actually matter? I know for a fact that Halo 2 Vista will run on W7 but will RE5 work too?

 

I also checked here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?l=en-us&s=resident%20evil%205&type=Software to see if it will work on W7 but it doesn't have RE5, only RE4.

 

In short: Will RE5 GFWL work on Windows 7 and where can i find the requirements to run it?

Scroll down the page to see system requirements. Doesn't say it runs on Windows 7 but most GFWL games will with no problems.

 

Ahh awesome, thanks. The requirements aren't a problem so i'm just gonna spend the £11 and risk it running on W7.

Lego Pirates isnt LIVE; ive bought the game in uk, no LIVE

 

I believe it will be a Dark Void situation, and only the Games on Demand version will have LIVE. I have read multiple articles that said it would be a LIVE-enabled game. Scheduled for release on the 24th digitally, so we'll see.
