Dead rising 2 PC error. it wont verify - Games

so i bought dead rising 2 last night and it took a really, really long time to install off steam but finally it worked so when i went to play it windows live came up with this Live must verify the release date of this game so i waited. 2 hours had passed so i left the computer on all night. so i went to check, still on this screen after that i went to school and came back AND STILL NOTHING. after about 18 hours it still has not moved off this screen. surely it would not take 6/7 of a day to find out the release date of a game with it clearly slapped on the front of the web page what is going on and how might i fix this problem. let me remind you i still have this same text screen every time i go to start the game [editline]24th November 2010[/editline] you can join in anytime, JUST TELL ME WHATS WRONG IM TIRED OF THIS GODDAMN WINDOWS LIVE POP UP

There is many ways around it, but I'm not guaranteeing any of these will work First, Verify integrity of the files. And then start up the direct x, vcredist, gfwl, and last of all zdp manually. You can find them in the game`s subfolders. under: ?programfiles?\steam\steamapps\common\deadrising 2\ if that doesn't work might want to uninstall DR2 :( 1. Install the latest windows live client/ games for windows, not through an update. 2. Download these .dll's [url]http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?xlive[/url], [url]http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msidcrl40[/url] and stuff them inside of the DR2 main folder 3. Port forward these as GFWL requires them TCP 80, UDP 88, UDP 3074, TCP 3074, UDP 53, TCP 53 4. Set your date 6-12 months ahead from current before installing if you decide to uninstall Hope these work, I had to change my sound quality to DVD just to have it run :confused:

i cant start up any of those files due to WINDOWS LIVE VERIFYING THEIR RELEASE DATE [editline]24th November 2010[/editline] also hey CANT I JUST DELETE THIS SECURITY PROTOCALL INSTEAD OF WAITING 7 YEARS FOR IT TO VERIFY i mean theres a security catalogue file here cant i just delete it

End the process through task manager, then follow Craptasket's instructions.

ive never ever had to use task manager before. this may sound like a stupid question but where is it?

Ctrl-Alt-Delete > Start task manager Or Control panel and put Task Manager in the search bar Should open a program with a list box, click the processes tab and find DR2install.exe, or Installwizard.exe, DR2.exe, etc click end process

i want to make a windows live account but it makes me make an xbox live account. as far as the link for create an account is concearned windows live doesn't exist instead i must create an xbox live account to play PC games is it me or has microsoft made the worst gaming installation system on the face of the earth. take this game for example, they couldnt even get the date verifier right. infact why need one when the game was released 2 months ago the zdp thinks its august 11th is there anyway to change it to the current date AND IF i uninstall dead rising 2. will it be free to reinstall of steam

(i thought they were patches) and it turns out it costs alot of money to fix my problem. IM NOT spending any more money this close to christmas and when you said stuff them into the main folder. i can only stuff in one windows dll SHORTCUT im not quite sure if these were the files you intended and they did not fix anything

[editline]25th November 2010[/editline] You still need to search online for other solutions to your problem if this doesn't work.

All you do is press enter at that screen.

Holy shit Craptasket being a good and helpful mod?

I actually shed a tear when I saw his post, I never thought I'd see the day. It's.. Beautiful! Much kudos to the ol' chap.

[QUOTE=Dr. Fishtastic;26368734]Holy shit Craptasket being a good and helpful mod?[/QUOTE] You're an idiot. And this thread is yet another example of why GFWL needs to fuck right off. I'd remove it from every game but it stops the MP from working.
