SCG - Windows 10 fix for GFWL (2016)

By SplitCoreGaming

So to begin. I tried all old fixes and they simply do not apply to Windows 10. Windows 10 actualy has its own fixes for GFWL, except one, The Bloody Firewall permissions!
Many have been having great success with these steps (which sadly keep getting burried in the forums), so here it is in the guides.

Windows 10 fix for GFWL (2016)

Install Lost Planet 2 - It will crash on launch. Good! Let it have it's moment...
Go to http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/Live/PC/DownloadClient and install as Admin.
DO NOT TOUCH COMPATIBILITY SETTINGS
Once installed go to
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
and type 'xlive' into search box at top right.
Select all files shown and Copy them to
C:\Windows\System32
Restart PC
This is the step I beleive messing most people up
Go to your firewall settings and manualy add 'GFWLive.exe' and 'GFWLClient.exe' from the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE\Client
Now bootup Lost Planet 2. Should load fine, signin in, follow instructions to update and restart, recover profile and enjoy.

Hope this helps others.

Arhumn's comment worked PERFECTLY. For 2023 Windows 10 putting XLiveless in the directory allowed me to play it with complete ease. I am genuinely amazed. Thank you very much for your help Arhum!

honestly couldn't be easier
