Do not start or immediately close GFWL application if it opens.

Disable Two-factor authentication on Microsoft account

GFWL does not support two-factor. Disable for the initial authentication token

Launch Game and Enter CD Key

Game should launch to menu; open Live or press home key. Login with microsoft account.

Login will spin for about 5 minutes logging into the service. Enter CD Key when prompted. This can be found on steam with:

Red River -> Right Mouse Click -> Manage -> CD Keys

CD Registration will spin for about 5 minutes registering the game.

Enable Two-factor authentication on Microsoft account

After the initial authentication token is created, Two-factor should be re-enabled on your microsoft account. You will still be able to login to live via the game.

If the game ceases to login, just disable two-factor, re-authenticate, and re-enable two-factor.

This does not work anymore. I followed your instructions and it still errors out. The Xlive redist does not properly install i think. When i try to install it, it thinks i am trying to uninstall GFWL. Any idea on the Fix?

You probably have some remnants of GFWL or xbox live installed. You should run through programs and run the uninstalls for any of those that are found, then retry. It's pretty common for installers to try and uninstall things if they detect something previously installed.

So, That was not it. I figured out the problem. It depends on where you are in the World. I am personally in the US and no matter what i did it did not work. As soon as i Turned my VPN on and put it to Croatia. Boom, it Started right up!

My issue is the game is saying "Save Failed, save data corrupt" even though the game worked and saved fine the first time I played. I got past the first mission, did not play again for a while and just now launched the game and it will no longer save. The only options are "Retry" and "Disable Game Saves" and "Retry" doesn't work. Anyone have any advice?

Just a warning: removing patch 1 potentially causes the game to crash immediately upon restarting a mission or starting another mission after completing another.
