Games for Windows - Live! Can take - A Leap!
…especially now that I don’t need it! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass GFWL.
GFWL is henceforth known locally as Get F***ed With Licensing? - honestly people, copy protection that doesn’t protect your product but just punishes the honest purchaser is mind boggling. It’s like buying a car alarm that ONLY GETS SET OFF IF YOU USE THE KEYS.
This is old (in internet terms), but Shamus sums it up nicely.
I ranted a bit about it here and after the latest Fallout 3 DLC came out, I had my latest outbreak of self-loathing and Tourettes Syndrom that I hope other PC gamers go through, and again considered giving up on PC gaming all together…
(Although I don’t have the money for the Xbox/PS3 AND the required lobotomy, so I have to soldier on)
After many head-banging moments it turns out that while it’s impossible to *prove* the 1.5 patch is causing crashes for tons of players, *coincidently* the folks that work around the 1.5 patch aren’t having those crashes.
Yeah. Coincidence.
I know patches are a bitch, you fix one problem and cause another. But I’m not your beta-tester Bethesda, I bought the game.
Back on topic: After some digging I’ve fixed my problems, and am happily playing again. I’ll post my ‘must have’ addons and the fix in a separate post.
