    GFWL issue - Can't access games I own


    Yes, I realize that GFWL marketplace is closed. What I am trying to do is reinstall a game that I owned (Fallout 3) that was activated on GFWL. I am running Windows 10 and I get the error message "There was an error retrieving your purchase history. Please
    sign out and try again later."

    I have done that. More than once. It still doesn't retrieve my games or cd keys.

    I have added the full logs to a pastebin here:
    http://pastebin.com/8ucn5Yaa


    Unfortunately @XboxSupport on twitter was less than helpful, suggesting that I needed to post on this forum to try to get help.

    Anyone have any ideas? I'm trying to locate a Win7 computer and see if it's really something Win10 related.

    :)

    Games for Windows Live - Whats Happening?

    I own a lot of games for games for windows live

    Games i've purchased on steam have been transfered from GFWL to Steam and on steam it also says that any GFWL CD Keys can be re-redeemed on steam

    However i've tried activating the CD Keys i have for games like Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City and Operation Flashpoint: Red River and they say invalid product key.

    i also can't log into the GFWL Client to get the keys for my other games because it says it can't connect to the server.

    I Can't play my GFWL Games because of this, so how do i get my CD Keys and will i be able to redeem them on steam?

    I've been digging around and have had the same issues as well. I did get a chance today to try it on a non-Windows 10 computer (Windows 7 Home Premium) and I still have the same error, so it's definitely not an operating system issue.

    I'm considering calling Microsoft and asking them what's going on because I've had this for a week now and nobody has been helpful in the least. I might even just ask for my money back and get my games on Steam. At least there's support options there.

    GFWL Client Error - "There was an error retrieving your purchase history"

    I have 15 -20 games and various DLC's attached to my account that I can't play now, why is this an issue!!! It was fine for years, GFWL still works in Steam games that are compatible like Street Fighter X Tekken, but GFWL client is unresponsive, what gives!?

    Fable 3 on windows 10

    I'm having the same issue, ever since they cancelled GFWL i can't get Fable 3 to verify, though any titles i own on steam that require GFWL seem to have to trouble launching or verifying, and no Fable 3 is not one of those titles. i hope microsoft sees this
    and can get this sorted out or come up with a solution soon cause as it stands i see it as i wasted money on a game that i can no longer play due to third party software that is required but is no longer in service.

    fable 3 zdp zero day protection cant connect to servers

    This does not work. I haven't been able to play this game in a year now. First it was GFWL not working and giving the purchase history error for months. Then they fixed that but Fable 3 just will not verify the release date. Ive been trying to activate
    this game everyday since GFWL was fixed but it won't activate.

    There is no support you can contact for this game microsoft closed down lionhead studios a few months back and all GFWL links lead to dead pages. I own this game and all the DLC content and can't play it really frustrated at this point.
