No I don't see it, if you managed to fix it. Then there's a way for him to fix it too. The problem now is to solve his problem, not to address your personal hate for GFWL.

Added on May 25, 2010, 1:26 amHere's another thing Mr.Tiger can try. Make a new GFWL account with the region set correctly, put in the same key. Who knows if this is a SSA or Non SSA key, might as well try and see if it says if the CD Key is in use.

the key is already tied to an account with a non supported region.
the key is gone.

I tried this thing and change to US. But it still give me region wrong message. I go to Xbox Live
and see that my country is Singapore though.. and I can't change it...

sniper: ghost warrior up for prepurchase - game unlock at june 11th usd 29.99

Majesty 2... hmmm....

Majesty 2 any good?

I read reviews about that long time ago but I can't recall how did it fare.

I think I'll skip it.

the meta score lower than tropico3 so it probably not as good.

I will also skip this.

Tomorrow is mid week deal, hopefully there'll be a good deal on some of the games I want.

God I hope there's a discount for Mass Effect soon.

Majesty 2 is not bad at all actually. it's a small city building game with some RPG elements into it.

Basically you control a small town and build buildings.

Then you hire heroes to fight monsters on the map, the catch is that you do not control the heroes directly, instead you put some "flags" on the map where you want them to do something ("Explore flag" to have theme explore areas of the map, "kill flags" to fight monsters etc.).

Then you associate money (that you earn from your town) to the flags, if you put enough then only they will do the actions associated with the flags.

Heroes can earn levels, learn new abilities at the building in your camp and if you want high level heroes to perform flag actions you need to put money than for low level ones.

It's not a bad game, but its not that great either, good for a moment but it has some gameplay flaws (sometimes the heroes are a bit stupid and will really do nothing if you don't give them money)
I read the 1st one was actually better in some points.

Edit: man I am really getting annoyed by Railworks spam in Specials...

The only way to fix it is to get a new account. If you are lucky,you might be able to reattach your account to your US account. Dont forget that you need to use IE to register for the GFWL id.

The reason why i say that key is as good as gone is because, once you attached your key to any GFWL account, it's with that account forever, just like Steam except Steam does not impose ridiculous region lock. The key is only usable for once only. The worse thing is, GFWL nor steam never said which DRM DiRT 2 use.

Just read the 5th post onwards in that thread. People are having this problem since day 1.

Read what deimos say.

All i recommend is try to make a new account with US region and try keying in the key again. Forget about Singapore and so on.

If that doesnt work, im sorry. The only solution left is to call XBox support in Singapore or worse, Redmond in US.Might as well buy a new copy then. No gurantees that they will give you the new key as they will just say it's Codemaster's fault.

Miracle happened just now. I think my Gamertag in Xbox Live is not setup completely. I'm not sure where is my Windows Live ID pointing to. But in GamerTag, it is always pointing to Singapore. What happened is, I continue setup my gamer's tag. Then I login to Steam again... then to play Dirt2. It ask me my Key again.. weird right, it actually ask me for my key again... so, i enter... and voila... I can online with Dirt2... this is crazy!!!

Let's see if I go home today I can still do the same....

This is incorrect. My GFWL id was set up in the uk. I have no problem playing all my GFWL games locally and online.

These SSA keys are only used by a few games so far, you must have only the non SSA games.

Cheese gave some links to some sources where it was confirmed about this whole SSA business, he got screwed up once with it and definitely know what he is talking about.

check my sig - bioshock2 and dirt 2 are two of the ones on pc that i know that actually have SSA. My other games with GFWL - batman:AA, SF4, Fuel, Dawn of war 2 and GTA4 (at least those are the ones i can remember). I actually have a UK GFWL/xboxlive account so i do know what i'm talking about.

For me, the only difference it makes on the pc is that i have to buy UK/euro MS points.

edit: you can't change region settings on your account but you can actually change regions (physically)

Glad you managed to key in your key again. Hope you can play Dirt 2 online soon.

Cool. Knew that M$oft couldn't be possible involved in regionlocks. As it has always been the developers' responsibility to code those in.

GFWL is trash, hate using it

I have an Australian account.

It will never login when im in Malaysia. Maybe it work for you, not for other people.

Look at the link i have posted, a lot of people are having the same problem.

It's trash since day 1.

yes, I manage to log into the Dirt2 and playing with online profile instead of lousy offline profile...

I guess I'm lucky that somehow, my Live Account is set to Singapore..lol..
