Hi,

Just start the game as you would any other. If the game supports achievements, the interface for logging in will appear automatically. Once you have signed in you are good to go.

Does Darkvoid support GFW LIVE? Also can anyone tell me a few games which support GFW?

Here is a list from Microsoft. I know it's not complete since I am playing Dirt 2 and it uses GFWL with achievements and it is not on the list. Sorry, I don't know if Darkvoid has achievements.

Hi there's also one more query! I created my own gamertag and I tried to use it on raptr. But when I enter the tag and save it, its says to change my privacy settings to everyone. I changed them and set all to everyone but still I'm unable to save it! Can anyone tell me how to fix this stuff?

When I tried to add a GFW live gamertag to raptr and click on save, it says "your gamertag has achievemnts privacy on". I followed the steps on raptr on fixing the issue, but the same message comes again and again. I have set my privacy settings like online status etc. all to everyone. Still, the error is not going away. So, can you please tell me if there is a second way to change the settings or can you please tell me how to fix this?

Oooh bud, good luck with GFW. I've tried to use it for GTA4 and FUEL and all I can say about it is that it's a total piece of crap. It has so much issues, hardly any games at all, and absolutely abysmal gamertag customization. I recommend you download Steam and ignore GFW unless a game requires it, Steam is a helluvalot beter than GFW.

you have to play a GFWL game and it will sign you in then press home on the keyboard or the X button in the middle of the 360 controller then you have to click join live if you hadn't then input the cd key and set your profile and your gtg I had to do that with Dirt 2 so I can play online and it works great.

This is a better, perhaps more confusing, list. If the game has a check mark on "LIVE" then it supports achievements. And G.o.D means games on demand (meaning the higher price games that are download only using their application).
