Age of Empires III - 10p. Yes. 10p.

Nice find OP.
But I need some help. I have the abomination that is GFWL on my C drive for some reason. This is my OS SSD.
I don't want GFWL on my C drive. The fact that it is an MS programme worries me though.
I should be able to unistall it then reinstall onto my games drive? I hope so or I am stuffed.
Interested in that too.
I may buy this game for 10p just to test out this GFW service in case a game I do want comes up on there at a good price in future.
First impressions, I installed the client, opened it up and boom, I got a blue stop screen
Just rebooted, looked again, this time it worked but while looking at a screenshot in the shop, I got a CTD error - this application has to close etc.
If it's that flaky I don't think I want it on all the time

Anyone trying to download this via GFWL on XP? Mine keeps crashing.

Yes you can set all the different paths inside the GfW client.
No you just launch from the Games Explorer in Vista/7.

Yeah bit of a pain!
And in XP?
Just like a normal installed game is it? From the start menu etc.Although if the client crashes in XP then the simple act of downloading the game in the first place may prove tricky :/

Well on 7 it hasn't created a separate Start Menu entry but I guess you can always create your own shortcuts. But you definitely don't need the GfW client running.

Yes. My setting is C:\Program Files (x86)\ and then AoE game created Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\ under it.
Ooh, I've never felt so loved.

Bought it a few years ago and it is quite an enjoyable game. The campaign is quite entertaining in its own Microsofty way and I might give this a go again.

I don't love you. An hour of my life just disappeared.
I should steer clear of games like this. They sink time like no other, given half a chance. I hate to think how many hours I poured into the original Cossacks.Amdrew McP
