hey guys, I have tried this method and it seems like the crashing does not appear anymore. I'll explain the method to u guys. Whether it helps or not , pls reply here. I wanted to know whether it's a real solution.

First get urself another version of xlive redist from (default version 1.1.0322, and this one is 1.2.0238): http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/0...ist1.2.0238.msi

and install it.

run the game and continue ur campaign, when u're in the game, paused it and minimize the game.

Then go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\Binaries  find a file called WarGame-G4WLive.exe (REMEMBER It's 1kb only, if it's not 1kb u probably found a diff one), open it with notepad.

Change tis code from the file:
<OriginalXliveTarget>1.1.0322.0</OriginalXliveTarget>

to

<OriginalXliveTarget>1.2.0238.0</OriginalXliveTarget>

then save it. And continue wif ur game.

Enjoy and play until u feel u wanted to quit, pause the game again. Minimize it and open the WarGame-G4WLive.exe file wif notepad again.

Change the code from:

<OriginalXliveTarget>1.2.0238.0</OriginalXliveTarget>

to

<OriginalXliveTarget>1.1.0322.0</OriginalXliveTarget>

save and close. Then return back to the game. And press quit game. And there u able to finish ur game without crashing! (Remember, although the game said that it won't save ur checkpoint, but it actually does, so dun worry)

Why i think it helps?
GoW requires this xliveredist to save ur game progress and personal setting, the default version 1.1.0322 enable u to auto save the game, but auto save by xlive will crash ur game. Therefore, u need to load ur continue campaign first wif default xlive then disable the auto save by changing xliveredist version. When u wanted to quit, u restore the default version xlive. So tat it can turn normal again.

Pls try it and c whether it solve the problem or not ^^
