Games For Windows

August 3, 2010 5:08:38 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I notice that the Elemental website has a GFW logo on it now. Is Elemental going to be a GFW certified game? (Note: NOT GFWL! There's a difference.)

I ask because beta 4 doesn't integrate with the Games Explorer, which is the very first requirement of GFW.

Most likely this is just due to the game not having an ESRB rating yet, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

Good catch on Games for Windows. I actually expect that it's going to be. Apparently, getting that title gives you better shelf space at retail, which Stardock definitely wants - I remember the discussion came up on why Sins went for the GFW cert.

Was it a fresh install? I don't have it in there in Win7 64.

I'm using Vista x64, but it should be the same on 7.  I did do a complete reinstall when beta 4 showed up.  I even deleted all the elemental files I could find before installing.

I think that did it. I upgraded from beta 3 (which didn't have the Games Explorer stuff in yet). So to test it I uninstalled and then reinstalled, and now I have the Games Explorer entry.

 

Mystery solved, thanks for the help!
