Well if you own the first GoW pc

You wont be playing it anytime soon unless you set your date/time back on your computer.

Seems as of 1/27 the windows certificate for GoW expired. Now when you try to install the game and run it it gives you a message saying this:

Only known fix at the moment is the afore-mentioned setting back of your computers date/time prior to the 27th.

Just a heads up as I was going nuts trying to figure out why my damn game wasnt working as a buddy asked me to reinstall and coop tomorrow.

It would be appreciated it if someone from Epic that may know more about this 'crash', can kindly post a message as to why this is and what can be done or is being done as it is hindrance to loading the editor and running the game.

Thanks in advance.
(sorry if you got a dup of this message.)

I'm waiting for more info myself, as soon as I get it I will post.

So it seems that Epic is aware of this but no info other than that. Hopefully they are chasing down the GFW folks down at Microsoft.

But yeah it was a real bummer, I got no work done on my map today and for those that play online must have been really frustrating.

Hopefully this gets resolved soon, and never occur again.

Well, just FYI Flak is a community staff person, she doesn't work AT Epic, she works FOR Epic so she gets her info the same way we do :)

So it's the waiting game...

To be fair, her employment means most of the Epic employees know her, which is a good thing :)

That's nearly as impressive as the Zune 30GB failing to handled leap years appropriately

yeah it does suck, can't finish my final gow map till the fix is in.

Funny it seems this caught Epic by surprise as well ( or at least that what they say) Almost seems like they forgot to pay 'rent' to Microsoft for their crappy GFW services.

Maybe that's why they're integrating Steam support into UT3 with the 2.0 patch? Honestly, does GFW do anything Steam doesn't do?

Ouch. They scored some huge good will points this week with the UT3 news, and then get this to deal with.. Sucky.

I don't see this as soley a problem of Epic's. Game publishers need to wake up and realize that DRM hurts their paying customers far far more than it hurts pirates. The pirates have a cracked version that still runs right about now, while the paying customer is locked out.

Epic did get it right with UT3. No DRM at all. Let's see if they can convince MS. I don't have much faith in that happening.
