How to Create A Games For Windows Live(GFWL) Profile Offline – Use it to Save Your Game’s Progress on GTA IV, Vitua Tennis 4, Crashtime e.t.c)

This article is absolutely for developmental and educational! Purposes only. Also, it was tested to work only on specific versions of Windows, like Windows XP, Vista, Win7, and 8. I discovered this due to the frustration of my prolonged poor internet connection. Yes, the truth is that you get poor speed and unstable connection after paying a considerable sum of money to ISPs for internet services. As a result of this, playing online pc games has become a luxury for me.

To make matters worse, most modern games now require you to first create and sign in to your Games for Windows live account before you can save your game’s progress. I bring you good news; there is a trick you can use to create a games-for-windows-live account offline. I mean without an internet connection.

Why You Need a GFWL (Games for Windows Live) Profile for Some Games

With specific game titles, you certainly need a GFWL profile. Unfortunately, three of my favorite games fall in this list of games that need GFWL to save their progress. In my case, I had GTA IV, Virtua Tennis 4, and Crashtime Syndicate. The list goes on, but the process is the same.

In this article, I will show you, with the help of images, how you can play and save all your game progress on any pc game that prompts you to first sign in to Games for windows live(GFWL) before you can save the game progress. As I said earlier, you can play the game quite alright, but you cannot save game progress unless logged in to the games for windows live profile.

We all know how frustrating it can be to play a game and not be able to save your scores/results/progress. I Tested this on GTA IV, Virtua Tennis 4, and Crashtime. I am confident it will work for any game dependent on GFWL.

Steps to Create a Games for windows live Account Offline to Save Your Game Progress.

I will be using Virtua Tennis 4 as my example.

• First off, select the game as shown in the picture above
• Now, while trying to continue playing the game, a warning will pop up telling you that you will lose all your game progresses if you don’t sign in to a live account.
• Answer in the affirmative and proceed. That is, select yes.

• Now, choose “create a new profile” even if you already have a Microsoft account. Please don’t choose login with an existing account because this will require an internet connection.

• Next, you will see a box that will prompt you to fill in your desired user name, as you can see below. Do this and click on submit.
• Next is the signing-in process, which only takes a couple of minutes.

• That is all! A local profile that requires no internet connection will be created for you. This account profile will enable you to save your game’s progress.

However, anytime you want to play this game, and an internet connection is detected, a windows live account will always pop up and ask you to sign in with your email account(this will change nothing). If you are willing to sign in, fill in the required information; otherwise, press the Esc button on your remote, and continue your game.
