Gears of War and the Games for Windows -- LIVE Update

Funny, I noticed this issue while testing Gears of War for Windows LIVE last week and thought I was missing something. Looks like it's a stupid bug:Today is a great day for Windows gamers! Gears of War finally shipson Windows today, with full support for Games for Windows -- LIVE and,with Windows Vista, DirectX 10! The game retails for an MSRP of $49.99,and for that you get five new campaign chapters, a new “King of theHill” multiplayer mode, three new multiplayer maps, a robust gameeditor, and incredible high-res graphics that take even the Xbox 360visuals to the next generation. Plus, the game is packed with all thecontent previously released on the Xbox 360 – seven multiplayer mapsand the “Annex” game mode.You’re probably anxious to play, but wanted to let you know of asmall problem (fortunately, with an easy fix). When you first playGears of War for Windows, an automatic update to Games for Windows --LIVE will be downloaded. But after the update is downloaded, you’re putback to the main menu of the game. If you don’t shut down the game, theupdate won’t complete. There’s two ways to get over this bump. Theeasiest is to simply shut down the game after the update is downloaded(you’ll know it’s safe because you’ll be back at the main menu, and noton the “Don’t shut down your PC while the update is being downloaded”screen). As soon as you close the game, the update will installautomatically and you’re good to go. The second option is to manuallyinstall the latest Games for Windows -- LIVE update, which you can findhere.Related: My Gears of War for Windows LIVE Preview and Screenshots
