Beachymike123 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I decided to buy the big DOW2 bundle from humble as it was on a good deal. I have Steam, and this is the platform I wanted to play it from. For those unaware (I actually was but thats beside the point) SEGA took over from Relic/THQ as the runners, and Microsoft Windows for Games (or whatever it was known as) was a big part of it. Microsoft no longer run their games function but its still on the installation for DOW2. It comes up with a message along the lines of Auxiliary Installer compatibility issue (a black box with a white box in front for Windows users), then just stops completely. Assuming this is the same problem for some, there is a way (and I researched this and some said to delete or alter certain files, something that I wasn't too sure of). But one solution that helped was installing an app that mimics the old Microsoft Games for Windows Live, and since installing it my game has run smoothly. So I though I'd share with those that have had similar problems and provide the link: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/LIVE/PC/DownloadClient Download, install but don't run (not required). Just exit from it and you can run DOW2 from Steam straight away. I hope this helps guys, and I'm doing so as others don't have the same frustrations I've had.
