+) Reopen the control panel (Start > Control panel).
+) Select '''Programs and Features'''. Wait for the list to populate, then select and uninstall both '''Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE Redistributable''' and '''Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace'''.
+) Locate <code>Steam\steamapps\common\Dead Rising 2 Off the Record\support\GFWL\Gfwlivesetup.exe</code>
+) Right-click the entry and select '''Properties'''. Switch to the '''Compatibility''' tab.
+) Check the box marked '''Run this program in compatibility mode for:''' and select '''Windows XP (Service Pack 3)'''. Also check the box marked '''Run this program as an administrator'''.
+) Press '''OK''' to accept the changes. Run <code>Gfwlivesetup.exe</code> by double-clicking on it, and allow GFWL to reinstall.
+) Navigate to <code>Steam\steamapps\common\Dead Rising 2 Off the Record\support\DirectX\</code>. Run <code>DXSETUP.exe</code> and allow any additional components to install.
+) Navigate back up to <code>Steam\steamapps\common\Dead Rising 2 Off the Record\</code>. Like steps 5 and 6, set <code>deadrising2otr.exe</code> to run as an administrator and in compatibility mode, but this time select '''Windows 7''' as the mode. Press '''OK''' to accept the changes.
+) Run <code>deadrising2otr.exe</code> by double-clicking on it, instead of through Steam.
+) Allow Games for Windows Live to automatically update, but do not reboot; simply continue with the game as normal.
+{{ii}} If you are able to play the game to the point of standing in a locker room, then this fix has worked.
