I don't understand either--perhaps they're actually making a copy of your profile from scratch and you're downloading it along as they're making it? Idk. :)

I don't know about Live ,as I don't have Xbox / H2V but does it load much when you sign in with a new gamertag like me when I get H2V ? If it goes more quickly , try making new gamertag and use it Klingerian , if you really can't get on with your regular gamertag :/

You guys are lucky, I can't even connect to live for some reason. I updated the game and GFWL, followed all the troubleshooting including the registry hacking. I even reinstalled the game twice! Nothing. Microsoft has no answers, they just keep pointing me to the Troubleshooting page. I'm debating returning the game at this point.

I don't understand why the recovering times are so dodgy. They can be as fast as under two minutes or take over half an hour.

I have come to believe that it goes by how much gamerscore you have, I have over 60k and it takes me like an hour and a half usually...while a account with 1k or so can be recovered in less then 2 minutes. :)

Ah, perhaps it is your game history and such content which affects the download time of your Gamertag.
