ErekoseDM: are the Fable 3 manual saves free from potential corruption?

ive never used GfWL nor had an xbox/live account is there a sign up page/account page that needs to be done to get this to work? or is it just to get the dlcs to work

will the game work if im not online at all? (steam offline mode/ does GfWL muck this plan up?)

thanks for the save game steps + info

orcishgamer: Manual saves could corrupt, I guess, the corruption usually happens during a write, typically you wouldn't write to your manual saves a lot, your autosave is for that. If the autosave dies you've only lost .5 day of progress instead of your whole game.

Signing up for GfWL is the same as XBox Live. Hell, having on online Windows 8 account probably amounts to the same thing these days. It's about the same as registering for Steam. If you have an old MSN account or a Passport account it may already be enabled as a GfWL account, they're all tied together now.

Once your game is activated you should be fine offline, online is only to synch achievements, download updates, and take advantage of social features. It's probably easier than Steam in this respect.
thanks for the fable info!


still no windows 8 for me ^_^
i was thinking of win 7 at some point soonish

win 8 looks like some junk that would work on a 'zune-iphone'
maybe its just how they showcase it on the commercials or something
I need advice regarding Paradox sales on amazon.

Is Crusader Kings II good? Better than Europa Universalis III?
Is A game of Dwarves good?

I don't know if I should buy only Crusader Kings pack or Paradox 2012 Ultimate Pack. It's only 5 us dollars, but Starvoid and War of the roses are multiplayer only (please correct me if i'm wrong) and I'm not particularly interested in these games.
Today's GG Dailys:

Hey guys,

For those of you having problems viewing keys, it is just a function of the system getting hammered a bit (lay off the sauce system!), it should resolve itself within an hour or so. Also, and I'll put this in the OP. We are definitely going to run out of keys for the Paradox pack today (1/31) pretty quickly. I just spoke with my Paradox contact (he's in Iceland, I guess it is later in the day there ), they are going to try and get us keys by Friday at the latest and have agreed to keep the promotion up until the end of the day on Saturday. The Editor's Choice coupon will be extended FOR THIS PRODUCT ONLY until the end of the day on Saturday, assuming we get the keys.

So, hopefully we'll get more keys between now and the end of the day on Friday.

Cheers,
Tony

NOTE FOR JANUARY: We will continue to add games and titles to the EC list throughout the month of January. I am continually in conversation with our publishers about including and promoting their titles during January. Many people in the retail industry work insane hours prior to and during the holidays. As such, many of us are on vacation in early January. This should be referenced before asking "Will XYZ Game Be on the EC List for $XXX.XX""

CAG thread seems to indicate people can purchase the bundles, but confirmation of orders is somewhat delayed. Also keys (even existing ones) are not showing even with refresh (probably due to the load on servers :/).
