Got Windows 7 64-bit? Got H2V workin?

[Syuusuke]

I knew my last thread would get purged after April folly's ended.

Anyway:

H2V will not start:


Asked ThePlague where you would stop the cryptographic-service, rename catroot2 in system32, blah blah blah...didn't work.

I should give up, but the figuring out the problem is more important than the game.

So, is H2V the only Live service running? I had no problems at all playing H2V on Windows 7 64 bit.

[Resinball]

Your problem may be with Win7 itself. Some things to consider:

Is it a legal copy?

Have you modified the running/start-up services?

Do you have any other Live games to test?

[Syuusuke]

Yes, one of the double digit number of people that do.

Which start-up services? (as far as i know, no)

No I don't have other LIVE games to test.
I DID have batman arkham asylum before this and couldnt sign into live because i didnt have internet at that time so I made an offline account, I was wondering if that would do anything?

[flibitijibibo]

Other than SecuROM, Batman shouldn't have affected anything.

You may just want to download another game that uses GFWL and uses that same set of keys as Halo 2. Pyong knows this part better than me, so you'll have to find him for that.

GFWL might just be fucked too. Right now the standalone client doesn't even work, and GFW hasn't come out with a fix yet (they know about it, at least).

[Resinball]

Yes, Live is crap compared to Steam but another Live game would help you know where the issue is, to bad you don't have one.



(Shadowrun is a game that works with a H2V key BTW, or it did.)





This helped me get Live working on Server 2008 64-bit:


1) Insert the Halo 2 DVD
2) Run Startup.exe on the Halo 2 DVD
3) Install the game
4) Install XLiveRedist1.0.6027.msi and vcredist.msi from the \redists dir on the Halo 2 DVD.
5) Copy xinput9_1_0.dll to system32 for the game to work.

[Syuusuke]

Gears too =D

I'll try that out ASAP resinball. I did something similar to that method, up to the part where you install the xlive_redist and that didn't work.

Also (2 times of the 10) when I disconnected my laptop from the internet, it worked, of course when I plugged it back in, it wouldn't sign into LIVE of course (then again it said the network adapter had no internet ip)

Isn't this a multiple NIC/IP issue (any network stuff, even bluetooth)? Was an issue before...

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Your h2v key should work for any game that isnt dirt 2, including bioshock 2.

[Syuusuke]

I don't remember encountering it like that, but do you think just disabling an NIC would work?

Also resinball, the xinput download link takes me straight to filedropper's homepage. I don't know if I should be using that specific xinput file, but I googled it and found another one, and btw, which replaces the one that already exists (but the one i just got is a bigger file size).

No go:

after the initialization error, an:

xlive.dll error

Now using batman arkham asylum, freakin patch and live update is taking forever, shouldn't have done it but oh freakin well...
ive got a feeling that it wont work so what im going to do is bootup in a clean startup with windows 7 to see if there is anything conflicting or whatever bs that goes on
