Players are paying $40-$70 for DIRT 2 and after they install DIRT 2 and create their LIVE ID, they find out they can not race DIRT 2 online if they live in one the over 166 unsupported countries. By that I mean I'll never buy another game that is connected with GFWL in any way.Īnd will we have this same problem with Codemasters games in 2010? It things like this that drive paying customers to be a pirate and this does not help boost the sales of computer games. I don't care about Dirt 2 anymore but I'll be definitely more careful in future. But the sole fact that GFWL works everywhere if you just fill in you live in US (or other supported country) is ridiculous. If we could login first and after that we were asked for the key we wouldn't have this problem. Now I can't play a game not from Russia, not from United Kingdom. Now I register new account with my real United Kingdom region setting - but I can't move the key to it. I read about it only on windows live forum, when the problem happened. When I was buying the game, there were no warnings, that I can't play a game if my account is from no-supported country. When I buy it - I immediately launch it, then register accaunt in windows live and it was registered with Russia region (because I was in Russia, and windows was with Russia region settings) When the game appears in Steam - I buy it. What can I do in my situationīut I work in England-Russia company. Go to the game publisher, Codemasters, to see if they can help you with a new key. This is the decision of the game Publisher, not GFWL. With Dirt 2 the Key is tied to the original Live ID that you first used the game with and you cannot change this. Problem - Dirt2 - cd-key and windows live accaunt

Microsoft say they will not fix this problem, the ball is in Codemasters court. Will Codemasters refund them their money since they were not warn that they can not use GFWL to race online? Will Codemasters give new CD-key to those players in unsupported countries that need a new CD-key so they can make a new LIVE ID that will let them race DIRT 2 online?Ī lot these players have bought other Codemasters racing games and race them online and now they can not race DIRT 2 online.
