Man it would be nice to someday organize all this together into some form of database with user input. I was thinking of something you could embed on the website that would allow a person to search for a particular game title relating to their particular system and they would get results pertaining to only their OS. We could have a rating scale of what you thought of the game and whether or not it required a patch. Another good idea would be to add a confirmation option to confirm whether or not the game has worked for several other people. It is possible somebody got it to work, but skipped a step on how they got the game to work (installed C++, directx for example). It would be like a drop down table where you would select your system (2008 32-bit, 2008 64-bit) and a keyword relating to the game... so if you typed in "battlefield" you would query results such as "Battlefield 2" "Battlefield 2142" "Battlefield Bad Company 2" and then compatibility and ratings systems associated with that game. Also another cool idea would be for win2008workstation users to add their own input with new titles/games that would be automatically updated into the database and available for searching if anyone requests it. For example when Battlefield 3 comes out, if I type in "Battlefield 3" in the search box it will query just created moments ago by the win2008workstation user who provided the compatibility review! .. Argh but lots of scripting required. And too much headaches. :(

The closest we can get right now is to just manually type in the name of the title in the search box above in the upper right corner of the forum. Be nice to collaborate all of this hard work together but it will probably never happen.

It seems that the new games featuring games for windows live do not work, like Fable 3 and Dirt 3. Is there a workaround?
Although the redist package installs fine the game doesn't recognize the installation of G4WL and wont start at all :oops: (tried with Fable 3).

Also tested and working with no issues;
Alice Madness Returns
Magic The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012
Dungeon Siege 3
