Your going to have to get on the phone with micro soft games for windows if you want help.they will walk you through the steps to fix this problem.
Nice people had mine fix in about 2or3 hours
good luck.

I can't even see the new DLC on Live amongst the news, not to mention the fact that the Marketplace page is totally dead.

I downloaded both, but i do not see them too. Sad

"Downloadable content" menu item in options is grayed out, but windows marketplace say it is installed.

Any fixes?

GfWL is the biggest crap ever!

I(and thousands of others) had so much problems with GTAIV also.

Sometimes I wish me back to the times of DOS-Games..

Have you guys enabled the DLC in game?

In the options there's a DLC section (not the DLC link that takes you of to GFWL)in there you need to enable and disable DLC.

I purchased the DLC the other week, no problems at all.

One thing to try, for those having problems getting the game to register the DLC is to create a new Windows login and try downloading the DLC via the Games for Windows LIVE client again and signing in to the game.

Please note that you must actually click the down-arrow link next to the game in the Games for Windows LIVE client, it is found on the My Media tab.

The username and password used here to purchase the game should also be used to sign in to Games for Windows LIVE as the DLC is only associated with the account it is purchased with.

New update should be available when you log into LIVE tonight. This should address this issue.

If u have a disposable income, this is the perfect game for u.

Spend more and more money, and you'll get the exact same experience with a lighter wallet! Plus an extra map or unit!
