Dirt Showdown Online? Windows LIVE shuts down in July

[Slick1 0]

Am I missing the section at the forum for Dirt Showdown?

I have all the Dirt games on Steam and I love the demolition derby parts of Showdown and hope for new maps with more derbies in the near future ... what are the chances of that? Or, a new derby game?

Anyway, I've struggled to play online with Windows LIVE and now that it's shutting down in July, I wondered what's the best way for me to play multiplayer online at Steam? When I get into my Dirt games it automatically pulls up Windows LIVE so, what all do I need to do? Sorry if I missed it somewhere.

We don't have a section for each game now - its just all DiRT all the time :)

Don't worry about Showdown, it doesn't use GFWL and will carry on working just fine. As for DiRT 3 we're working on moving that over to steam its just taking a little longer than expected.

^ Thanks for that!

Will it all just be in an update? So, no need to worry about anything on my end, as you mentioned?

I found:

DiRT 3 GFWL Problems FAQ
http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/207/dirt-3-gfwl-problems-faq

So, I'll just wait until that's sorted. Good to know they're on the case.

My issue now is that I cannot play Showdown online multiplayer at Steam. In fact, I've never been able to. What's up with that? What do I do?

What's really weird is that I was able to play Dirt 3 Multiplayer last night on Steam but, I still can't play multiplayer Showdown.

I've no idea, it should be working fine. Send an email to custserv@codemasters.com and they should be able to help
