Subject: I need Halo 2 Live help.

I'm sure this is fairly common on here, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I installed Halo 2 Vista on Monday and have been spending the past 4 days trying to get it to work. I've installed the update, the GFWL client, forwarded my ports, renamed the catroot2 folder. I've scoured the internet for a solution. I've tried logging into Live on another game, but those games won't update and it won't download my profile. When I try to log into Live through Halo 2, it says "downloading profile" and them tells me that the service may be down or that there is a problem with my network or firewall. When I clicked network status, it said that the IP address and UPnP were not signed in.

If any would could help, I will be extremely grateful.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Try quitting xfire. Xfire can interfere with gfwl for some reason.

Also, this looks like a gfwl problem. Try posting this at forums.gamesforwindows.com

It's not Xfire, because I don't have it, but I'll try the GFWL forums.

I had this problem, too. All I did was just leave it alone for a long time and it did it correctly.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Probably because of the overlay. Valve's smart enough to make their overlay not have any issues with Xfire, but I wouldn't expect the same out of such garbage as GfWL.

Of course I doubt this would have anything to do with him not being able to get his profile.
