    GFWL Marketplace - An unknown error has occurred when retrieving keys


    I'm having an issue with the GFWL Marketplace client. My purchase history updates fine and I can view all of my purchased content, but when I try to retrieve the keys for my content, I receive an error. The error states "An unknown error has occurred"

    Here is an image of what the error looks like: http://i.imgur.com/CJ8frg2.png

    I have installed the GFWL Marketplace client on my brand new laptop with a fresh install of Windows 10 and the error still occurs.

    :)

    GTA IV Games for Windows LIVE, no serial no help at all.

    I'm having the same problem just bought SSFIV AE and when I try to get my game activation key in GFWL marketplace it just says an unknown error has occurred.

  3. Microsoft Tinker GFWL product key.

    I thankfully had a document created long ago with my keys but I am in the same boat. The marketplace shows no serial keys and instead says: "An unknown error has occurred" for both Game Activation keys and Live Access Codes.

    GFWL Marketplace - An unknown error has occurred when retrieving keys

    First off, I'm jealous - you have ITSP through GFWL. I have the Steam version where GFWL was patched out. GFWL Marketplace - An unknown error has occurred when retrieving keys :(

    Is that the only one that's having an issue? Are you getting an error at the top saying there was an error retrieving your purchase history?

    A bit of follow-up.

    It looks like whatever server MS is using isn't responding at all:

    Error General Failed to retrieve game activation key. {Exception: {Type: System.TimeoutException} {Message: The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:00:59.7367808. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request
    or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.}

    Which looks like it's this URL:

    {Message: The HTTP request to 'services.gamesforwindows.com/.../MarketPlacePublic.svc& has exceeded the allotted timeout of 00:01:00. The time allotted
    to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.}

    No, I am not getting an error at the top. My purchase history updates fine. I have 130 pieces of content attached to my account and when I open the GFWL Marketplace client, it will count through all 130 pieces and add them to my client.

    The only error I am having is with the key retrieval. It gives me that same error for every piece of content.

    GFWL Marketplace - An unknown error has occurred when retrieving keys

    Microsoft seemingly doesn't give a flying *** about anyone who bought anything on GFWL. Ive been through numerous tech support agents and still have no resolution regarding the error retrieving purchase history.

    I'm also having this issue. I want to get my key for Bioshock 2 so that I can add it to my Steam library and get the remastered version of it. Sadly, I'm just getting the error.

  12. Hey, guys!

    First, let me offer my sincerest apologies. Crouton had reached out to me shortly before he created this thread over private message. I had it set on the back burner to take care of, and then the Xbox One S launched. With that came a lot of other things
    that made me forget this happened.

    Yesterday, Crouton reached out to me again to remind me (thank you!). I was able to see what you guys are seeing here, and we're getting this to the right people.

    Again, I'm incredibly sorry that I let this slip for you guys. I'm here and got the right people looking into this now. I will provide any updates I get, and appreciate everyone's patience while we get through this. GFWL Marketplace - An unknown error has occurred when retrieving keys :)
