It looks like it could just be coming down to the crack causing some kind of weird behavior. Games for Windows Live doesn't play well with Wine at all (understandable, I guess, considering it's basically Microsoft's version of DRM). I do have to use a crack, even though I'm playing the Steam version of the game. The xserver-xorg-input-joystick mentioned in that person's WineDB report is actually just a way that you can control the mouse and keyboard with a joystick (which, as you could imagine, is a terrible way to play a game). I did attempt disabling each of them one at a time, and updating x360ce accordingly, but the game still wouldn't read button presses correctly. The joysticks listed in the control panel do both behave properly, button presses and axis movements respond as you would expect. (FWIW I did try the "SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE" suggestion in that excerpt, to no effect.) Thankfully, some games have switched off GFWL and moved to Valve's free Steamworks solution and From Software's Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition was one of those games.Click to expand. However, after a lot of protests about games becoming unplayable if the authentication servers were shutdown, Microsoft noted that they would not shutdown GFWL, but would keep the servers up for games that still required them. The service was rumored to shutdown during July of 2014 after a service notice was leaked with Age of Empires Online a year prior. What's worse is that the GFWL support forums is mostly a ghost town, with a lot of reported problems gone unresolved or very little interaction from support providing any sort of usable resolutions. There was even one very nasty situation where the service would fail to save the game at all due to a location data error. There were times when the service would bug and erase all your data, or sometimes it wouldn't install properly and require a complete reinstall of the game itself. Unfortunately there was little or no support for GFWL for some games, and the service would run into some major bugs and problems that had no fix whatsoever. It was originally designed to be an extension of Xbox Live, but it failed to live up to those expectations when the service started falling by the wayside. It'll be like getting a burden off your back.įor those of you completely and entirely confused about this whole ordeal, Game For Windows Live is a DRM sign-in service used determine if the game belongs to the proper individual. From there, you'll be all set to enjoy Dark Souls without having to deal with Games For Windows Live anymore. Depending on which version of the game you have, it should require you to log-in or load up your profile where the game will go through the process of looking for your saved data.
