ITS almost "save" if you use ONLY your own original software product!. .: install :. 1.: Unrar with 7zip ( its multiparted & 7z* is recommended ) 2.: double click: Gears.of.War.Launcher.exe ( must be done! ) 3.: double click: MakeDesktopIcon.exe and run game with!. if you dont have 7zip, you can leech the latest version here... http://software.filefront.com/7+Zip/;3726;/software_information.html * leech>install>Un-7zip>follow the descriptions!. also needed LATEST netframework,XLive, and ofcourse DirectX !!! S p e c i a l I n f o N o t e : Some virus-scanner recognize the header of a packed exe ( Gears.of.War.Launcher.exe ) as a lame virus, (coz its the byte by byte check error of em!.) Its almost certainly a false positive alert from overly protective heuristics, you can read more about in your VirusTool-Manual or VirusTools-WebSite!.(heuristics). >>> thank you for reading!. and remember to thank others for seeding! -ToeD'o8 -eol-

this is a re-up. had to hide this one, due to mass-leeching!...

UKSalami (2008-02-04)

The One Eyed Dude does it again..
Thanks for the re-up fella =)

@UKSalami

cnycompguy (2008-02-04)

does this version let you save your game? last one i tried sucked ass, cause you had to start over every time.

MegaFootDude (2008-02-04)

GoW.7z.002 and GoW.7z.003 will not decompress with 7z. An error message appears stating that the files are not archives. Also, despite following the simple directions, the game will not load. An error message appears saying that the file xlive.dll is missing.

Razorbladesoup (2008-02-04)

doesnt even work right for me
game runs for a few minutes then crashes
in game..in menu doesnt matter
all drivers up to date

 Subzero! (2008-02-05)

hmm... didnt had *ANY* of these issues, otherwise i would have had uploaded this, but anyways, found this...
http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=596618

 Subzero! (2008-02-05)

@ all
what about seeding???...

 Subzero! (2008-02-05)

google for peerguardian2 . and install this, update the block lists, and right after, everything went fine, your download will increase a hell of a lot....

 Subzero! (2008-02-07)

http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/
read everything there, and download pg2 etc. read carefuly...

 Subzero! (2008-02-12)

come on people, only hit'n'runners... so you'll wondering why there aint be a hellgate or any blacksite or whatsoever-bigger-game uploaded ?...
because, mainly hit n runners, people dont know the meaning of sharing, do they? doubt that!....

kanonkas (2008-02-15)

peerguardian = Faster dl of torrents and better seeding speed, hit n runners fuck your mamaw.
Leon, it's 5 gig 'cause sub/toed got he's hands on gears of fucking war, when he gets he's hand on the game, dang then the game size is :O!

GuMm (2008-02-16)

GoW.7z.002 and GoW.7z.003 doesn't work to extract. it says can not open file as archive. what to do?

 Subzero! (2008-02-18)

dude, use the latest 7zip.
right click on the 001 file, and choose extract here or extract to... and everything will be extracted!, read more carefuly the description next time please!. and if you double click on the file 001 then, this might doesnt work... ;)

kanonkas (2008-02-25)

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/pop.php?xlive

Download that I think it'll help you or just install Microsoft Live from Microsoft's home page.
Sub you should maybe a made a "What you need to install before running" like dopeman, just a hint.

 Subzero! (2008-02-26)

yeah i knew what ya mean, but you could see it from the other site too, what would you do meanwhile?... stopping helping?.... ;).
hehe just kidding overhere... well i know and
ive included the " you need stuff " in "the club game" xlive, openal, directx. too bad that iam too often expecting that users are able to solve shit by themself... ahwell, but i know its a good hint, thx!...

thefrozen999 (2008-02-28)

hey subzero you know if the Windows Live Account requires some money?I can't play GoW multiplayer without this accout!!!!!!!!

 Subzero! (2008-02-29)

nope, dunno about that, just google your question ;) like xlive+account+??

 Subzero! (2008-02-29)

...btw... dont be that stupid and play a pirated game like this one Online, without owning the original... ;)

thefrozen999 (2008-02-29)

ok but you know how to use hamachi to play in a network?i installed hamachi an i don't know any network(i must insert a network name)!I also have UT3 and i don't know any network too in this case.

thefrozen999 (2008-03-01)

the peer guardian does nothing,Subzero.The download remain as slow as before(about 100 KB/s-in my case).I blocked all the ip and the download remains the same,it is not improved!!!

SEEDERS

Comeasyouare (2008-03-05)

hi can somebody please seed? thanks=D

Vomiter (2008-03-07)

@Complaints about hit and runners
Its probably due to the fact that most people cant run the game. It crashes constantly and comes up with all sorts of errors for most people, myself included. Id feel happy if I was able to get to the actual game for a few seconds.

Comeasyouare (2008-03-07)

u need to have deamontools to fix this file please help!

thefrozen999 (2008-03-08)

hey if this doesn't work ensure that you have an Nvidia high class video card,(minimum 7300,8400 with the latest video drivers installed),an dual core processor at least 2Ghz and 2 GB of virtual memory.If it says to insert a disk ensure that you have the
crack(http://www.gameburnworld.com/dl/dl.php?)file=GearsOfWarv1.0NoDVDFixedexeEng.rar)on
the corrent version(1.0,1.2 or 1.2).This especially game is the best action ever made,with the best graphics ever seen ad has the best singleplayer campaign ever played.I didn"t had any crashes an my PC(Amd Athlon Dual Core 4200+,Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS,2 GB of DDR2667 and the game works perfecly on high details.If you hadn't played yet Gears of War you lived a shity life!!!Follow my instruction and you will get Gears of War to Work(my PC costed me less than 400$.That's cheap!!!

Overlordhavoc (2008-03-08)

I'm also having issues with low dl speeds, i'm currently between 20-50kbps, i've tried the peerguardian thing, but i'm on vista and that's not supported...
Any other suggestions?

 Subzero! (2008-03-09)

its supported, change the compatiblity mode to winxp, and it should work, there are many users having vista and using pg2... ;)

mrglass186 (2008-03-09)

Bojamijams (2008-03-09)

Is there anything you can do about the fact you can't save your progress?

 Subzero! (2008-03-11)

Yes indeed, once you've installed xlive etc. , you are in >fact< able to save... are you?... god knows!.

boupas (2008-03-16)

Games works fine but I can't apply the official 1.2 patch. I get a "Failed to find launcher reg key!" message. Any ideas ???

fohrnicate (2008-03-19)

 ooStevo (2008-03-20)

can you guys start seeding at a decent rate please? its taken me 2 days just to get 50%.and maybe you leechers can set ur upload speed a bit higher too.everyone will get it faster that way!!!!

 ooStevo (2008-03-20)

shimoto1212 (2008-04-17)

Omg thnx man it works very good
I've downloaded it once before and it didnt work so i'm really happy :D
Keep up the good torrents Subzero/ToeD

shimoto1212 (2008-04-18)

Hmm it keeps crashing at the same checkpoint of the game
Is this a normal bug or is this file corrupted?

shimoto1212 (2008-04-18)

Could you make a gears of war patch #2 for it ToeD
Because you can't save now :l
really annoying man :(

lahna1 (2008-04-24)

This is the 20th torrent from ToeD!
...Subzero! you thing i'm having enough? OR
Should i just continued downloading your GREAT TORRENTS? ;)

eddebud (2008-04-29)

this is a snitch torrent..got an email about DL this one

 Subzero! (2008-05-01)

in that case you should use peerguardian2, does make downloading faster and more safer!. or may getting out of the land of free ;)...

 ooStevo (2008-05-02)

ive already dl'd this before.i assumed it didnt work cos i was getting erors with the exe(and all other games) but i bought some new ram and all my problems have gone away so im dl'ing it again.so PLEASE can u peeps increase ur upload speed cos this torrent is really taking the piss.thanks.

 ooStevo (2008-05-02)

hey SUBZERO,ur obviously the original uploader so why dont u start seeding this again? if it was my torrent and people where complaining so much about down speed,i'd feel obliged.

Jody_B_DESIGNS (2008-05-03)

no...nope..sure dont..peer guardian 2 does NOT work with vista..and im on Ultimate SP1, came from home premium and before that home basic..and ive tried it will all..and done all the little nitpicks trying to make it run under XP..giving it admin privelges..and nope..it sure dont work...nobody else i know who has vista cant get it to work either..it comes on..it just doesnt run...so i guess ill wait out my lame 20kbs for the next 10 hours since ive put in 16 so far..

red_laces (2008-05-03)

I cant get the game to start... I have done exactly what the nfo file said and tried a few other things, but nothing works. When i try to start the game crashes before it even starts and then I get a messeage to send a report to windows... This is the first time I have problems with this kind of release, so please help :)

red_laces (2008-05-03)

it also said that some file couldent be deletet becouse the filename was to long when I unrared it...

 ooStevo (2008-05-05)

@ jody b designs
Why the fuck r u using vista anyway? Yeah it sure looks nice,but the term 'bloatware' is a mild statement for it.Switch to XP Pro SP3 and let ur pc breath.

 ooStevo (2008-05-06)

Right,im on 92.6% now.Im gonna overclock everything possible in the vain hope of getting this bitch to run smooth.My fingers are crossed for no problems.

pandaholocaust (2008-05-06)

I also get an error stating that wargame-G4wlive.exe has encountered an error.
I've unistalled and reinstalled it and still get the same problem

 ooStevo (2008-05-07)

Fucking yes!!! It works!!! I had it on high setting with minimal lag and that was without overclocking mf gfx card.Thanks TOED!!!!!!

 ooStevo (2008-05-07)

Im running it on-E6300@ 2.05ghz,geforce 8600gt,and 2gigs of ocz pc2-6400 dual channel.Thats a good setup to get it running smooth.

 ooStevo (2008-05-08)

Sorry for the triple post,but i must say that this torrent definitely works.Im at the night level with those bat things.So if anyone is having problems,i would say just upgrade your comp.Thats what i did and it runs great.

awafaewf (2008-05-18)

i dont get how to unrar it...i unrar'd with 3.71 and it goes back to old format..

ArcImpulse (2008-05-22)

Works, I needed to download d3dx9_35.dll first and install Games for Windows software to get it to work, but when I'm playing it tells me I can't save any progress because I'm not logged in.

krohnik (2008-05-25)

How the hell do you save without being haven an account on windows live?

krohnik (2008-05-25)

Never mind! I've got it up and running like a mawfocka! thanks subzero!

Folder
Ran game from the shortcut
Got to a second GOW load screen this time and then
Got the error

Rename the file startup.rdl located in the
C:\Program Files\Gears Of
War\_extras\Startup.Original.GoW\startup.rdl

To startup.exe
Copyed that file into the directory
C:\Program Files\Gears Of War\Binaries

When i try to use 7zip to extract the files from GoW.7z.002, and GoW.7z.003, it says
"Can not open file C:\blah blah blah \GoW.7z.002 as an archive." Help!

PistolKid (2008-06-20)

Nevermind, apparently it only needs the 001 file, according to a comment on the 4th page.

theduchboy (2008-06-22)

this is seeded very well but my download is going with bytes
i never have this problem, only with this one and the Bioshock from skullptura
how can i fix this?

oneWHOdied (2008-06-25)

guys you'll definitely have to dload the xlive.dll and the d3d.dll mentioned before in the previous comments made by SUBZERO to get this torrent to work.
warez isnt as easy as it was back in the day, theres too many OS now a days and the rips carry the file that were made somewhat for that system so quit getting frustrated and thinking that torrents dont work. they do you just hafta read the instructions carefully!
good work on the torrent tho' sub + ofcourse Toed.
X) thnx

theduchboy (2008-06-25)

nobody else has this problem?
my friend also has the same
how can i get it to download fast again?

lukas1996 (2008-06-26)

lukas1996 (2008-06-26)

(")_(") please

jnizzle (2008-06-27)

i think games like these come with a crack.
these files are usually replaced with the original game extension in the original directory of where the game is installed.
they usually have the same names and when replaced, the game will work.
dunno if this will help cuz i dont have this.

lukas1996 (2008-06-27)

hmmpf... one night and it is one 50,2 % please seed some more...

ph123ph456 (2008-06-27)

If you have a problem with [WarGame-G4WLive.exe] crashes, download and install Windows - LIVE v1.2
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=D6A69B9F-2AEF-4125-B162-EDF0AE922CAF&displaylang=en).
And WarGame-G4WLive.exe crashes no more!!!

Swift_Shot (2008-06-28)

OMG! I'm having problems with this please help. Post any help here or e-mail me at fedeloza95@hotmail.com. The problem is that when i try to run the game this appears: "C:\Windows\system\xlive.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."... Maybe I should mention before this another error appeared that said that the xlive.dll file was missing so i got it off dll-files.com and put it into C:\Windows\system as the xlive.dll readme said.. but now this error message appears!! Please help I really wanna play this game!!! remember: post help here or e-mail me at fedeloza95@hotmail.com.. if you help me and the game ends up working I'll seed for a few extra weeks.. Thanks

Thanks!

murphy363 (2008-07-01)

im having trouble getting this download to work.. like Swift_Shot it says that the xlive.dll file is missing and also when i try to run MakeDesktopIcon.exe... nothing happens.. no icon on my desktop... and the game doesnt start... the crack doesnt seem to work either... it just says Setup has stopped working immediately after i click it... PLEASE HELP!

outlaw241 (2008-07-01)

nice job

murphy363 (2008-07-02)

couldnt get it to install...

murphy363 (2008-07-02)

i found an easier way go to youtube and search "free gears of war" and watch a video by "SMITHERSTHEMAGICIAN"
the main download links wont work (but the patch and fix do) so there's a video in the list of his other videos called "download links" use those... im downloading at 500-600 kb/s......sure as hell beats 20

biggame89 (2008-07-03)

*need help*
-Extracted the folder
-updated drivers
-downloaded and installed the xlive
-downloaded the d3dx10_35 and put it in the "Gears of War" folder
-Ran the Gears.of.War.Launcher
-then makeDesktopIcon
but when i run the "makeDesktopIcon" it still tells me that im missing "d3dx10_35.dill," what am i doing wrong? i thought i did everything right.
*thx*

fyoshietnikka (2008-07-03)

I think you need to put the d3dx10_35 file in the binaries folder.

For people who haven't figured it out, to Save the game got to guide (in the Main Menu) and create New Gamer Profile. The DON'T click the Xbox Live Option to Finish it, JUST CLICK DONE. That Way You can now Save.

alexjhoandros (2008-08-07)

is it fast?

tehnoobshow (2008-08-09)

if any1 get problem:
"there is not enough free disk space" although u have more then enough left on ur hd. it's because u hav FAT32 drives, and cuz of its limitations u cant dl over 4GB files.
to convert the drive to NTFS, do the following steps:
click start > run > type: cmd > hit enter > type: convert X: /FS:NTFS, X being the drive's letter you want to convert, for example:
convert C: /FS:NTFS

Hey guys... i know this may seem dumb and risky, but has any one tried playing online with this game (this torrent)... if yes/no... what happens if you get caught?

Djrock (2008-08-13)

Ugh I need help.
I can get the game to come up and start, but it's all messed up. It flashes back and forth from computer buttons to Xbox buttons, and when I try to play the game, the camera spins around and around.
Any ideas?

Drylegs (2008-08-30)

How are you supposed to unrar the files with 7zip when theyre not compressed or anythin to begin with?
and how do i use 7zip?
haalp

Sonaeru24 (2008-08-31)

Thousands of leechers.. less than 300 seeders... yeah, I'm just gonna drop the $20 on this game. Fuck this shit

 Subzero! (2008-08-31)

@Drylegs
7zip can be used same way like WinRar... and 7Zip compressed files are usually named with "7z" "gamename-7z.001" anywhere in the filename other files like 002 .003 etc. you dont have to bother with, they will be automatically extracted ;)
@Sonaeru24
would probably do the same ;)

tiebar90 (2008-08-31)

ive gotten everything down
and when i load the game it loads it up..goes black for a minute..then closes and says
To play Gears of War, please run Setup.exe
did i do something wrong? or is there anything i can do now?

varsilhas31 (2008-09-12)

Hey, when I go to play the game, I enter in the menu, an after start a new game, it crashs and turn off my computer. I don´t no what to do. Can someone hlp, pls?

VistaSoldier (2008-09-14)

Nice torrent.
The game runs well and its pretty simple to use, as long as you follow the instructions. Fastest GOW pc torrent so far.
Virus Free!
Negatives:
Pfft. Gay shortcut symbol. I wish it wass a real GOW symbol.

VistaSoldier (2008-09-14)

Reynardin:
Your specs should run it fine. But I dont think its the ripped problem. I didn't have it. Id try to reinstall (well, delete all, and re unzip). If that doesnt help, maybe its a vista error or something. Faulty hardware? who knows.
Farbods:
Errm... Check your graphics card or RAM.

03poppa (2008-09-14)

I got the game working and its great but after a couple hours of playing it crashes in the same spot and its not my computer cuz everything else works fine

GaMeer (2008-09-14)

Pls i beg you help me out here i say i need D3dx10_35.dll not D3dx9_35.dll abd i dont know that to do now i have been working on this 3 hours in the first nothin showed up when i tried top open the game the gears of war box come and i click play nothing happen then i downloaded xlive and now it say i need D3dx10_35.dll pls help me out here

VistaSoldier (2008-09-15)

poppa:
What part of the game does it freeze?
A lot of people seem to have this problem. If you read a lot of the comments. I havent had the problem. Yet....
GaMeer:
Oooh. Ok Ill search it up on google. dx looks like Direct X problem. But i doubt thats the case,

VistaSoldier (2008-09-15)

GaMeer:
Well, theres a lot of different crap thats being said out in google. The main fixes are here:
1) Try re-installing (delete all, re unzip) the game and the livegaming.
If that doesnt work:
2) Check that you have Direct X 10. If you don't
then download it from the microsoft website. This requires activated XP/Vista. If you dont have activated, search XP activation in TPB or something. Thats how i activated.
3) (This will probably take ages) Search 'Download D3dx10_35.dll' on google and download it and move it to your livegaming folder. If more file errors come out, keep downloading the files (respectively).

GaMeer (2008-09-15)

thx so much now ill try it out :)

GaMeer (2008-09-15)

Vistasoldier thanx so much i was just going to delete the file then i checked comments and there you are ive should known it was a direct x problem but thank man i prisiate it :D

Omfg, i had to download 3 different files, Xlive.dll,

VistaSoldier (2008-09-16)

Dude, you bothered to download the specific files?!?!
Just download the thing i posted last time for jonny.
And follow my instructions for GaMeer.
Reinstall for now (delete all and reunzip)

TotalyIsAStupidName (2008-09-17)

Ok, I read all 8 pages with comments and I couldn't find a fix for my problem so I'll just post it here.
When I come to the part on the first map when you have killed the Seeders and you're looking for alpha my game crashes to desktop. It doesn't say anything about "file not found" or such. It just crashes and I get this "The program has crashed, blah blah send error message yes/no" crap.
Any ideas how to fix it? Before this the game worked perfectly and there's nothing wrong with my drivers. I have xlive_dll and the directX I need.
I appreciate your help!
@ Subzero!
Great Torrent! Bug free except for my problem witch probably is just some error I've done :)

Jerdboy (2008-09-17)

This shit is broken. I get a bunch of errors when I try to extract with 7Zip. One Eyed Guy's uploads are usually quality but I can't say this one works.

Hrca1303 (2008-10-14)

Everything works fine with me but the game crashes my laptop after 10-15 minutes!!! It's frustrating!!! So either the game is fucked up or it makes my processor work so hard that it shuts to prevent it from melting down. Anyone had similar problem???

bahlax1411 (2008-10-14)

w32.spybot.worm in the startup file in binaries folder. anyone else getting this?

calgary_92 (2008-10-21)

finaly it works to save .
you gove in to the guide map and do it
first you open the game and then you sign in ok or you cant save the game

madmax85 (2008-10-21)

After few minutes of starting to download it, why does it say that i am not authorized to download it??? Someone help!!!

VistaSoldier (2008-10-23)

madmax:
idk, maybe firewall or sumthing. I seriously have NO idea.
I've finished the game on Hardcore and half way through Insane. Good torrent.
Just follow the instrucutions, its not a setup, its the game itself. Just unzip and play!.
For all of you who wish you had a better shortcut rather than the blank white window icon, right click the shortcut and select properties. Then click Change Icon.
I recommend finding the Binaries folder and selecting WarGame-G4WLive.exe. That's the actual icon. This is what to do for XP. For Vista, thers probably something similar.

calgary_92 (2008-10-23)

I got it running and it runs very well, except that in the menu the cursor is constantly moving up. If I hold Shift or Ctrl I can click on menu items and even get into the game but once I get into the my view constantly moves up as if I'm moving the mouse up. This is the only problem I'm having and a strange one, does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

I had a PS2 controller plugged in causing my problem, I figured it had to be something related with that since in 11 pages of comments no one else had the same issue. Great game and time to seed and share!

PLEASE HELP! I got 7zip and unrared the file, which left me with one big .rar file. I tried to open it, and it said: incorrect command line, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! How do I get it to work?

0munky0 (2008-11-03)

The Pre-Alpha Team GOW crash fix.
1) Rename 'PC_Gears.of.War -ENG+FULL -.direct.play.-ToeD' to something short (I used 'gow')
2) Rename 'G.o.W (ToeD) ...use 7zip ONLY (extract to...)' also to something short (I again used 'gow')
3) Navigate to
'\Wargame\CookedPC\COG\COG_Characters\COG_Grunt\COG_Grunt_Accessories\COG_Grunt_FragGrenade'
in your Gears of War directory
4) Copy/Paste 'COG_Grunt_FragGrenade.upk' in 'COG_Grunt_FragGrenade' folder.
5) Finally get past that corridor ;)

0munky0 (2008-11-03)

If you need the file you can re-dl it @ m3gaupload.com/?d=983P02AN

0munky0 (2008-11-03)

Half the other problems I see posted here can be addressed by downloading LiveRedist01.02.0241.00 and/or the AMD processor patch.

Guitarnewf (2008-11-04)

I downloaded this and have tried everything. I don't have a problem with the install or getting the game to run. My problem is when I run it. When the game starts up, it is running at about 1 frame per 5-7 seconds. It is ridiculously slow and choppy and unbearable. I have a gt8800, 2 gigs of ram, quad core @ 2.60. I am running crysis, far cry 2, fallout 3, oblivion, mass effect, and dead space all at max settings, why is this game acting like this? I am also running vista.
Any clues? I have downloaded all files that were suggested, I even reinstalled, but it's still the same.

immense (2008-11-06)

Ok help!, ive went through many of the comments page with no one similiar to my problem. I used HJsplit and combined the .001-.003 files, then i extracted ithe gears of war folder to my desktop, then i ran gears of war launcher, had the animation go by, and then write stuff to my registry, then i made a desktop icon, and clicked play, setup my video settings in the menu then clicked new campaign and then it goes to the loader screen, then it freezes, nothing happening on screen except for a frozen loading screen. happens every time, tried -deleting, extracting, same problem.
Im on a quad core 4gb ram, and 8800gt.
HELP!

Rick78 (2008-11-06)

Why did u use hjsplit u dont need to. unzip the first file 001 with 7zip its free and then do all the other stuff it should work great hope this is of some help.

Rick78 (2008-11-06)

dany93 download xlive start the game and create a profile than u can save.

immense (2008-11-07)

Rick, i didnt want to download another unzipping program, this was just more convienent for me. i dont see how that can cause this problem?

Rick78 (2008-11-07)

immence. it is recommended that you use 7zib because HJspliter might not work as well as 7zip it might not be formated to unzip all files properly so it might of missed some of the files and u only need to unzip GoW.7z.001 hope this helpes.

Rick78 (2008-11-07)

sorry about the spelling

Kasilopan (2008-11-11)

How come this isn't working for me?? .. I've done the install right, but when i try to start, an error pops up and tells that something is wrong with my xlive.dll file? .. Anybody who knows how to fix this problem? ;S

Rick78 (2008-11-11)

Gerlin60 move all the files to c:program files and follow ins again.Kasilopan download xlive its free then when u start the game create a profile.

Kasilopan (2008-11-11)

Rick78 . I already tried to download xlive.dll But the error is still popping up.

gb84 (2008-11-11)

can't get in to live. if i press the guide button it doesn't do anything and when press f1 or "home" key it doesn't react. I have read a lot of info about this. i think I can only fix this problem by using the patch. the only problem is that the patch also doesn't work it gives a key register error.

ExtremeV1 (2008-11-11)

@Rick78; If you are still having the 'xlive' error go to the link i've provided below and download/install LIVE Redistributable v1.2. Then play the game like normal.
Hope this helps.

frydlund (2008-11-18)

I got a problem, I have read thru 5 pages of comments but I don't think anybody has posted a solution to this problem:
I unzipped the game (check)
I ran the gears.of.war.launcher.exe (check)
but the MakeDesktopIcon.exe doesn't work, nothing happens, then If i open the file manullary but it showed up as a "file verification database" file. what should I do?

xenomorph1138 (2008-11-18)

When I try to run the gears.of.war.launcher.exe Norton deletes a w32.spybot.worm. Can someone tell if its a false positive? If I restore it I'm not gonna fuck my sys up am I. Is it safe to disable norton to do the install and do I have to keep norton disabled to play game or will it be ok to enable norton after install without norton deleting something important to the game? Thanks for any advice.

PM-Dude (2008-11-19)

I got exactly the same problem as frydlund. i downloaded all the required progs Xlive...
can anyone help?

Spottbroder (2008-11-19)

You are all fucking idiots and you should die in a fire.

xenomorph1138 (2008-11-19)

@spottbroder. Since you are not offering any constructive advice, it's quite obvious that you don't know much yourself. If you actually did know something you couldn't wait to show everyone how smart you are. Its always a good indicator of how smart you are by calling everyone else an idiot.

silentasassin1993 (2008-11-19)

ok heres my problem i extracted and i got a virus in the gears of war launcher .exe. I know its a false but it wont let me run it. Keeps saying i need administrative options and im the only person who uses my computer, Im running vista 32 bit with avg 8.0 full version

xenomorph1138 (2008-11-19)

Ok, this is for anyone who has the virus problem when executing (Gears.of.War.Launcher.exe). (DO THIS ONLY IF YOU TRUST THE UPLODER).I went into "Options" in my antivirus (in my case it was Norton). I cliked on "Exclusions". Then clicked "Scans", then clicked "New". In the window that pops up search for the "GOW" folder and select it (where ever you extracted GOW to) then click "OK". I extracted mine to a folder I created on my desktop. I did this twice, once for "Auto-protect scans" and again in the same window for the regular scans. The procedure may be slightly different in your antivirus program but the results are the same. I excluded GOW folder (and everything in it) from any scans. After which GOW launcher worked. (Note, there is a splash screen that comes up and I had to press esc. to get out of it.)
"Updated my video drivers" and installed "Xlive" and the ".dll" file created the "shortcut" and I played the the game right from my desktop through the first chapter with no problems. (This was my first time installing these downloaded games and direct-play, so it was a little frustrating) but everything works like a charm.
THX Subzero for the up. And thx to everyone else who offered some constructive advice.
Hope that helps.

klergyboy (2008-11-20)

you guys do realize that if AVG 8 is giving you a virus waarning in the file it isn't a false positive?
the truth is his story is bullshit, this thing is infected.
norton and avg and nod32 are all identifying a virus in the download. avg does not have a hueristic scanner, it's a straight definition dependant scanner, so his byte block in the header comment triggering a hueristic scanner to register it as a false positive is b.s.
it needs to have an exact signature match to trigger a virus warning in avg. granted sometimes avg has false positives due to a mistaken signature but this isn't one of those times cause everyone else in the virus scanning business is registering a virus in this file. so it isn't a case of one company accidentally providing a flase positive definition in their scanners.
simple thing though if you want this game badly put it on a machine you don't care about having to wipe the drive afterwards.

4n8only (2008-12-01)

thxs for the upload. worked like a charm. i had to upgrade my cpu processor drivers but it did that for me automatically.

assmatic (2008-12-01)

Prince_Laharl
try the binaries folder...thats only place i can think of that it would be missing from
you can try your C:\ WINDOWS\System or System32 folders also

assmatic (2008-12-01)

sorry, yes put it into C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder

ProudMan (2008-12-02)

Game works.Thank you.

Prince_Laharl (2008-12-03)

It sees the file now and the pic pops up that shows its working but then this pops up "wargame-g4wlive.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and thats what happened thats all i guess i need to fix now...

sajad16 (2008-12-04)

Rick78 (2008-12-04)

sajad16 first of all did u use 7zip? and just unzip 001?. did u then move the files to c:program files? then click on Gears.of.War.Launcher.exe wait a while till it sez press esc then click make MakeDesktopIcon.exe. as for the torrent being fu*ked up it works just fine if installed right hope this helps :)

sid-afc (2008-12-05)

I cant get it to work. I extracted the files and all that, doubleclicked on Gears.of.War.Launcher.exe, and when I try to open MakeDesktopIcon.exe nothing happens. I did get xlive.dll as well. Ideas anyone???!

sid-afc (2008-12-05)

Ok I think I figured out how to do, but it cant be started. The Startup Application just wont work.. so I think I'm giving up on this... :/

Rick78 (2008-12-05)

Dont give up m8 make sure the extracted files have been moved from your download directory to c:program files and that your directx is up to date try that and see if u still have the same probs and one more thing make sure u extract 001 only and u use 7zip u can get it here
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html.

sajad16 (2008-12-05)

Rick i used 7zip extracted gow 001 to c: program files and this shit still gives same error.. send report or dont.. this is sooo bullshit.. idk why i get alot of errors when i extract them somewhere i get many errors from maps folder.. u know? its in wargame cooked pc.... aand i already installed live redistruable + netframework 3.0 my pc specs r good so thats not the prob

101waff101 (2008-12-05)

barrybarrykelly (2008-12-06)

to unzip use 7zip if you don't have it google it!
you only need to unzip 001 file

yowdog2 (2008-12-06)

ummm ive done alll of the steps, but when i start the game, a window pops up and said that "Startup.exe does not exist" or something, then nothing works, i got everything that was required, is it cuz of the recent vista patches that are trying to block pirated stuff? cuz i got the dx10 thing installed got 6GB phenom quad and GeForce 9500 Please help me, I want to play this game soooo badly and Ive read thru all 17 pages of comments but still cannot find it, its really irritating how im soo close to playing this game but still cant . . .

now a question does online work? im scared clicking on it :P

siemper (2008-12-26)

CAN WE GET A KEY TO GO ONLINE DOES THAT WORK????????????????????
AND WHY THE FCK DOESNT LAN WORK? Lol -.-

Rick78 (2008-12-26)

its not the best idear to play RIP's online. easy way of getting caught Each game comes with a unique serial number that checks-in with the home server. If you're using a pirated or unauthorized key, you simply can't connect.
and upon detecting a Pirated or other illegal copy of software, will permanently bar your IP address from ever playing on their server again...Damn :(( So all i can say is try at your own risk

hamppe (2008-12-27)

NO FOR FUCKS SAKE IT DOSEN'T WORK ONLINE !! HOW WOULD IT ?!?! YOU NEED A KEY THAT NO ONE HAS USED BEFORE !

then i click on Gears.of.War.Launcher.exe then i hit esc
then i click on MakeDesktopIcon.exe
a timer comes up but thats it no icon is created - am i missing something very simple.
Cheers
tom

Rick78 (2009-01-01)

tom move the files out of your download directory to c:program or some where like that then try again :)

cheaterfreak (2009-01-02)

Thanks for the torrent works almost fine if you follow directions.
However I am having the saving problem. F1 or clicking on the profile button doesn't work. Also the GUIDE button doesn't work for me. I have tried several things such as redownloading the DLLs and downloading Games for Windows. Anyway, all help is appreciated.

tomearly (2009-01-02)

hi rick78 - i have already tried doing that but unfortunately it doesnt make a difference. It just keeps doing nothing after i click on the make desktop icon - even if i run it as an administrator, Thanks for your help though - anyone else any other suggestions
cheers
tom

KasrkinCK (2009-01-02)

Rick78 (2009-01-03)

Homep try moving the file form your download directory to c:program files or some where like that and unraring again it should sort it out. then when u start the game create a profile

Homep (2009-01-03)

okay i downloaded xlive.dll from

abaris9999 (2009-01-04)

hey, i no that the file u said, the launcher, is not a trojan. however, my antivirus sees it as a trojan. i keep telling it to ignore the file, but whenever i try to double click the file, it says i do not hav permission to do this. i can't copy the file or move it. i am the administrator for this pc, what can i do?

Rick78 (2009-01-04)

silentasassin1993 (2009-01-12)

I have norton anti virus rite now does anyone think that it will block the launcher? Cuz i dled it wen i had avg and it blocked it.

Nirjuana (2009-01-12)

Okey, everyone who has problems with crashing right after you've destroyed seeders and trying to get to the helicopter:
According to the crash log, the game was unable to find "GOC_Grunt_FragGrenade" which caused the crash, try to replace that with copying the "Grunt_Accessories" folder from the zip or from another source.

Nirjuana (2009-01-12)

Oh, mind the double post but would somebody upload the "Grunt_accessories" folder to here or somewhere else so there wouldn't be a need to download full copies?

Rick78 (2009-01-13)

silentassasin just set the file to exclusions in your anti-virus it should work just fine

dude656762 (2009-01-14)

i have NEVER been able to get any games by ToeD to play -.-

dlbrody69 (2009-01-21)

FFS! people! quit tripping on the false positive's in AVG!! Launcher.exe or whatever will always pop up with allot of torrents...my suggestion..axe AVG and just use MalwareBytes..it'll detect any and all viruses that are a legitimate threat! Even some nasty ones that AVG will not. If this program does not detect a Trojan then there are none..so there!!
...oh and please stop complaining about these and all game torrents possibly not working..these people put effort into providing these..crap! we're getting these games for free..duh!
- Peace

silentasassin1993 (2009-01-21)

@zastrow
so true i heard that his torrents are supposed to be awesome but i never get them 2 work.

Rick78 (2009-01-21)

@silentasassin and zastrow its not the uploads thats the prob they work just fine if done properly and its not rocket science....

silentasassin1993 (2009-01-21)

@rick
well do you have a way to get this to work? cuz then ill keep seeding and wont dl another version. Thanks

dlbrody69 (2009-01-22)

Works great but is there a keygen for this? would be nice to be able to save my progress via Xlive..otherwise thank you..you rock!

ok, in E:\Gears of War\Binaries the startup.exe is modified and is what the desktop icon points to the startup.exe.bak is the original and if renanmed and launched it will come up with a message saying to insert cdrom..so obviously the modified .exe is to get around that..hmmm..wonder if there is an updated one out there somewhere....stay tuned.

Beasthunter (2009-01-30)

@ Everyone getting the executable cannot run with the modified error. It means the game has expired check it out on the gears of war forum. But the most guaranteed fix for now is change the date of your PC anytime before 27th January. You will probably get the run the Startup.exe message so, I suggest if you still have the rar file delete everything from the registry and delete the gears of war folder itself and do a clean extraction and do the gears-sart thing and play. This worked for most people and worked for me after I did a clean extraction. The error discussing URL is:

And some other
fixes:http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=25980697
but you should know there are only temporary fixes.

dlbrody69 (2009-01-30)

found this on the forum, and seems to be the issue as I never checked that box before until recently and that is when I got the error..interesting.
--------------------------------------------------------

When you click the Gears of War shortcut for the first time a box pops up. There are two tick boxes. If you click the one on the left which says "only show this when there is an update" I get the "Modified executable code please reinstall the game" error. I had never ticked this box before until the other day, before this I was playing the game fine. So what I did I went on to the DVD got the WarGame-G4WLive.exe copied and replaced it with the one on my pc, that fixed the problem.
This issue I can reproduce on my other PC's too, and the fix is the same replace the broken exe, with a copied version off the DVD.

last comment from me on this issue..
Yeppers! move your time back to before 1/27/09 and all works fine...how fucked up is that shit!!!

Dont worry good peps it will be sorted soon :)

SNW_123 (2009-01-31)

Okay, I've been reading alot of theese comments, so many pages...
Okay so heres what I got to tell. I've followed the instructions step by step and done EVERYTHING right (according to the instructions) Tried XLive and Xlive Redist, 1.2 and 2.0 together and separate, no sucess. Used launcher, used desktop icon, even tried the DirectX .dll files in both Live folder and in GOW folders(binaries) without sucess. And I launch the game from desktop, and presses "Play" and the following box appears "
C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\XXX\PC_Gears.of.War
-ENG+Full -.direct.play.-ToeD\G.o.W (ToeD) ...use zip ONLY (extract to...) Extacted\Gears of War\Binaries\wargame-g4wlive.exe: You cannot run the game with modified executable code. Please reinstall the game" Well hey I can't really reinstall the game can I ? :P just unzip it again and it comes up again.. so whats your thoughts guys? any suggestions in this pile of problems.

dlbrody69 (2009-01-31)

uuuhh..I think you should read these comments with some detail, SNW_123...its a certificate issue in wargame-g4wlive.exe that has expired on 1/28/09.
Just set your system time to 1/27/09 or before and the game will launch..thats it dude, no need to do anything else until an official patch is released.
oh and who cares if we cant play onine with this..go buy the game or quit complaining...I'm thrilled to be able to play the campaign..game fucking rocks

baab32 (2009-01-31)

Und3rdoggy (2009-02-07)

Hi guys i need some help so i finaly got this torent downloaded and did every thing correctly till the point when i started up the game. It said something about my graphis card so i ignored it and when the front page of the gears of war poped up (the thing that says stuff about updates) So i click start game and it gave me an error saying "wargame-g4wlive.exe - Ordinal Not Found
The ordinal 5216 could not be located in the dynamic link library xlive.dll
Any help will be greatfully apreceated. You can reach me at my email eric_a_1337_@hotmail.com please someone help me out.

sk8ter12244 (2009-02-07)

ok this is what i did to download. After you double click the Gears. of. War. Launcher. exe and desktop icon. exe you put all of the files in a folder. What happened to me was that when i double clicked the setup in extras-startuporginal. it didnt download completely but left a folder with nothing in it so i dragged the gears of war folder into it and wallah. I got it!! :D

sk8ter12244 (2009-02-07)

For the step with the setup in the extras folder, it did download completely but by only dragging the file that was needed into the folder it was using. An error should pop up during the process and you'll see what file and which folder to put it in. The file you need is the setup.bak which is in the same folder as the start up original. Then you do the steps I said in my last comment. Hope that helps :D

Hey Subzero, thanks for this great torrent, i allready playing this, but i have a question, how can i play this game with my control?, how i configure the actions of the game with my control?, I'll wait for answer thanks.

AshEnke (2009-03-06)

Can this version be played coop on lan ?
or is games for windows live blocking the process ?

seeinsideout2 (2009-03-08)

after all the fcking about, i tried most of what people suggested, and thanks alot to them for there time
but changing the clock on the computer was the kicker, i did do it because i didnt believe it.
but it worked, finally
CHANGE THE CLOCK BACK BEFORE 2008

honestgreen (2009-03-08)

I tried everything stated, but couldn't get it too work. Always kept giving me a xlive error, even though i had it where everyone said to put it, plus had the d3dx9_35, and tried the set the clock back thing. nothing. Maybe it's a hit or miss torrent... I don't think I ever had this much trouble trying to get a torrent to work, besides the razor1911 Gen, with no luck for both. Cheers to all who gets this to work for them.
And btw Many thanks to Dopeman and the OneEyed DUDE!

11. Next we need to revert the date on the computer back to anytime in the year 2008. If you do not know where to change this informaton please dont hesitate to google it.
12.Restart your computer.
13. Finally, click on the dektop shortcut we made earlier and run it as administrator and Gears of War should work if your using Vista and keep up with the windows live up-dates.

whats with "windows cannot access the specified path, file, or device. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." i am admin too, WTF man....

rdlngs (2009-03-26)

Meh, after going through what everyone said and finally getting this to work, I wasn't too impressed by the game itself. GREAT graphics and mechanics, but just didn't dig the gameplay.
I will continue to seed this for another 3 days though for all who want the game. Already have a 1.6 ratio, but I have a 2mb/s upload connection. So hope everyone enjoys this more than I did.

1mh4rd (2009-03-28)

I did everything right...
(7zip the file, followed the instructions down to the letter)
VISTA USERS WATCH OUT:
(as i try to run the game this warning keeps popping up)
"You cannot run the game with modified executable code. Please reinstall the game."

laitblade (2009-03-31)

k first time i played downloaded this it worked perfectly i played it til second berserker and then stopped month laster got virus from something else so i reinstalled my pc and downloaded evrything again since then i aint able to install this cos the GoW.7z.002 and GoW.7z.003 wont extract i tried al ways to extract it with 7zip but it gives me error i can only extract the first 1 what do i do to get other 2 to extract i want to play

Rick78 (2009-03-31)

Rashira (2009-04-01)

I've read from pg1 to pg6. But i dont find the answer for this error: You cannot run the game with modified executable code.
Pls help, i feel like i've been overexcited for nothing now.
I did everything the text file says, In the right order. I get a box that says play and then i get the error: You cannot run the game with modified executable code.
I tried to do some of these things, but i seem to not having the problem with Xlive.dll.
ERROR FIXES
Retyped better engrish
Ok so far i have had nothing but errors the
first error was - xlive.dll blah blah blah
I fixed the XLIVE Error buy actually deleting the xlive.dll file from the
C:/programs/gears of war/binaries
Folder
Ran game from the shortcut
and got to the second GOW load screen this time and then
(Error)
to play gears of war please doubleclick the startup.exe
"Damn i thought"
(Fixed like this)
Rename the file startup.rdl located in the
C:\Program Files\Gears Of
War\_extras\Startup.Original.GoW\startup.rdl

To startup.exe
Copy that file into the directory
C:\Program Files\Gears Of War\Binaries
DBL Click on the desktop shortcut and
Bingo worked....Hope this helps
So i dont know what to do to make it work. I think i have a good computer.
AMD dualcore 3.0ghz 6000+
4gb ram
GeForce gtx 260 xxx
etc.
And thx for the torrent, im sure it's working. Im just doing something wrong.

I found my problem. For those who dont want to read all the pages i found this: dlbrody69 på 2009-01-31 02:16 CET:
uuuhh..I think you should read these comments with some detail, SNW_123...its a certificate issue in wargame-g4wlive.exe that has expired on 1/28/09.
Just set your system time to 1/27/09 or before and the game will launch..thats it dude, no need to do anything else until an official patch is released.
oh and who cares if we cant play onine with this..go buy the game or quit complaining...I'm thrilled to be able to play the campaign..game fucking rocks

Juvetti (2009-04-11)

The game works fine. But looks really wierd in a way. Havent played more than 30 min or something, but i hope something cool happens soon.
If not, this game is just like an old time shoot em up. Just move ahead and shoot, nothing special or new.

 CODYBOSS1969 (2009-04-12)

I downloaded this torrent a few days ago and I can't get the game to work.
It was the first direct play game I ever tried, so I'm probably doing something wrong or missing something.
I unrared and clicked on the launcher. I watched TOED's little movie thing all the way through - nothing happed so I pressed Esc. Then I clicked on "makedesktopicon" but nothing happened - no icon, nothing. I can't figure out what to do.
Can anyone help me out on this one?

lizardking420 (2009-05-17)

this worked perfect for me but i cant save my game....

slashthehvy1 (2009-05-18)

You need to install Xlive to save your game. I just got it off another "games for windows" disk. Also if you are having trouble running the game setting your system date back a few years should work. I could post Xlive if you need.

Reply: Buddy, hv u set the clock year back to 2008 from the BIOS settings.. ?? only then it wil lwork, i hv a core i7, it was NOT working but wen I resetted the year (from the BIOS settings, by pressing "DEL" during boot up) to 2008 or say 2007, it started working flawlessely.. :)
So, try it and post ur results here... :)
==============================
------------------------------------------------------

==============================
TO: joeman169 "startup.exe seems to be a "worm?
Well, the complete torrent as well as the GAME is Virus/adware free, so jus disable ur Antivirus and install w'out any doubts or fear dude.. :)

TO: laitblade :
Buddy, jus reset the year (from the BIOS settings, by pressing "DEL" during boot up) to 2008 or say 2007 and it will work, but yes hv the latest Direct X (download "DOPEMAN's must have direct X version for gaming") :)
-----------------
To the Uploader, thanbx a TON!! for this flawless game dude.. really appreciate it,
i knw u guys (with green skulls as well as blue and violet skulls) are masters of torrent uploading/seeding/TRUSTED guys as well as hv flawless content here at TPB),
but still wanna say tat "Keep up the fcuking gr8 work..lol.. !!! "

HEy guys, i seriously need help in knowing this
---> this torrent:
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4210201/Race.Driver.GRID-RELOADED

"GRID from Reloaded" is a trusted one tat i knw, but i hv a core i7 920 based system with gtx280, 3 gigs RAM but still i cannot play GRID (d/loaded prev also from a trusted source here at TPB), so can u guys help me by telling wether the above RELOADED (approx. 5.5Gigs of GRID game) will work or no.. !!! as im on a really slow connection..so dnt wanna waste my b/width as well as time.. :(
Cheers n e-peace....

laitblade (2009-05-25)

yo secretagent dude ty man ima try setting clock back but does it effect other stuf on my computer?
rece driver grid schould probely work on your pc
i only goy a nvidia 7500 LE
2gb RAM
vista service pack 1 32bits
and it works for me had to put graphics lowest tho cant w8 til i get that new gtx 295
btw race driver grid has the most realistic driving ever i had trouble controling the car XD

secretagent004 (2009-05-25)

================
@ laitblade: well ther only thing tat wud be affected is, tat ur Antivirus will NOT be updated (as i also hv KIS 2008) and maybe due to a prev year of 2008 or 2007, it may get ur license invalid or no update, tat kinda errors, but rest all will be fine believe me.. :)
-----------
So, my advice is, tat wen u wanna play this game, jus play it (by changing the year in BIOS) And for all other stuff like surfing net, d/loading stuff, updating AV, anti adware stuff, change back the date to current year :) ..... hope u got the point... :)
-------------------
btw, where ya from... ?? and its kool tat u getting a gtx295... congrats man.. .:)
------------------
I was able to play GRID Demo (by setting -no virtual" command in the target of grid shortcut....) So, according to u, i must be fine if i d.load tat Reloaded version of GRID... right ???? :confused:... ???
--------------

secretagent004 (2009-05-25)

-----------
the funny thing abt that GRID game is tat i can play it on my old PC, (a P-4, 2.0Ghz with a lowest nVIDIA 7600 GS and 2 gigs RAM) but wen i tried running the same game on my new rig (core i7, 3gigs RAM, gtx280) the game jus wudnt run)..lol....

Not worth the download.
Unless you want to set your clock back a year. Apparently that seems to be the only thing that works. I never tried it.

boogfart (2009-06-17)

One, thanks for the upload it works reasonably well until about an hour in and I get some sort of crash.
Two, for people with the wargame-g4wlive.exe: You cannot run the game with modified executable code problem, one of the things I did were to set the windows clock to January, 16 2007 (apparently setting a date to around this time/year helps). Thanks to the advice of another commenter.

Nickjedebruyne (2009-06-18)

i can't delete the game, when i want to delete it, it says that i'm not authorised to delete it, but i'm the administrator?

TheBlackEndlessVoid (2009-06-18)

I found this patch that supposedly fixes the "Binaries\wargame-g4wlive.exe: You cannot run the game with modified executable code. Please reinstall the game." problem but I can't install it.
I run the patch and a window opens saying it is extracting the files or whatever but then nothing happens and I still have the problem. As this isn't a legit copy of the game, is this normal? And btw, can I install other update patches or will they make the game not run? (Sorry if they're dumb questions xD )
PS: I was going to write the link where you could download the patch but TPB gives me the "database error" so I guess I can't post it here.

vexir (2009-06-26)

SUBZERO!
Sorry for the caps but no one has yet figured out how to uninstall this thing.
There may have been an .exe for it but I deleted my game files when I couldn't get it to work assuming that since there was no installer, there would be no need to UNINSTALL either.
Apparantly this is not the case, so how do I uninstall this game?? Its sitting in my Add/Remove programs telling me I don't have sufficient priveleges to uninstall it.
Cheers.

0m3g4-1 (2009-06-27)

Works fine. Sometimes it will be choppy or pause for a second which is annoying but that's my machine being lazy. Didn't get a virus detect threat. Running Windows 7 w/Radeon 4670. Had the issue in the beginning where it told me I couldn't run modified code, just changed the system clock like the other guy said and it actually worked. Weird. I guess it's a GFWL timer thing that causes it. Thanks SubZero!

reuben_isaac (2009-06-28)

is it like this; if you decides to uinstall the game, and continue on later, the saved game file which is saved in the documents file on your comp. will be saved such as you can continue on when you install the game later?
sorry difficult question

Most of you have no business downloading a game if you can't figure out simple instructions. The firewalluninstall file error on uninstall can be solved by just navigating to the file in the game folder and deleting it. as far as the gameplay, i play this game on a P4 3.0 extreme 2GB corsair dual channel ram, and an ATI radeon HD 3850 and it plays smooth as silk. pm me if you need help. i have been round and round with this game and know most of the fixes. Nice up subzero. thanks for your effort.

proj3ctMayH3M (2009-07-16)

Ok I'm completely clue less as to what to do here. I followed the instructions on the read me file in da torrent. I unrar(ed) it aka the first GoW.7z.001 and then double clicked the launcher. I let it go for a while till it said on the launcher press esc to exit. I did that as i did with other ToeD(Thank you BTW) games i download. soon as the mirror disappears a registry editor error or w.e screen pops up saying
"adding information can unintentionally change or delete values and cause components to stop working correctly. If you do not trust the source of this information in C:\Users\Prince\Desktop\PC Gears of War\G.o.W (ToeD)...use 7zip ONLY (extract to...)\GoW\Gears of War\toed.reg, do not add it to the register. Are u sure you want to continue."
I hit yes to continue. and then make da desktop icon and when i run the game with da desktop icon i get this message.
"This application has failed to start because xlive.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
and then nothing else happens afterwards. Any kind person out there who had time to read this plz help me out if you can cuz i loved this game be4 my xbox got broken and i'd love to play it again.

just crap, don't waste your time on this torrent !

Padmasanaa (2009-07-17)

Waiting right now on the installer.. it takes for ever, but every thing else about this torrent is perfect. By the way guys the crack is inside the folder it's not hard to find. Can't play with MS gamer tag you will most likely get banned, uninstall is in the original 7z folder, that's not hard to find either. for those of you that get "You cannot run the game with modified executable code. Please reinstall the game." install the crack you retards. any one else with problems I'm here to help.

Padmasanaa (2009-07-17)

fuck when i switch the installer to full screen it crashes. it won't even install. it just keep's playing that game boy music for EVER! nothing happens! HALP!@!@#@$

Reaper24 (2009-07-18)

I got this working by installing Xlive redist 2.0 and changing the date to 2008.
Game is utter crap, though. Totally not worth it.

susscon (2009-07-19)

Bit of trouble fussing around with cracks patches and install, but works 100%
once installed and you get the message...
''You cannot run the game with modified executable code''...
all u goto do is set your pc clock back one year and ***IT WILL WORK*** (providing you have installed and used the cracks correctly)
thanx again Subzero, your doing a great job.
p.s take no notice of people who say it dont work... and moan about its not worth it cause its a shit game.... anyone who has played it b4 will say its a real enjoyable game and well worth the download time.... and also you can save if you make an offline account.
as i said it works 100% I SHIT U NOT!!!
on another note...
reaper''tard''24... stop fukin moaning about uploads... if uploads get to u so much then dont fukin use TPB init u moaning pain in the itchy ass!! sick of your negative comments all over TPB all the time

ZERO_BS (2009-07-19)

What the fuck?! Couldn't you put that in the instructions?! I wouldn't have bothered.
Set the clock back... fuck this shit.

porto_for_ever (2009-07-19)

hi,
when I start a new game my computer crash and restart ! Any ideas out to solve this bug?

Reaper24 (2009-07-19)

Susscon, what in fucks name are you talking about? This torrent is perfect. I didn't complain about it.
All I'm saying is that the game sucks. That's my opinion, and if you don't like it, shut it.

Reaper24 (2009-07-19)

Also, what other negative comments are you talking about? I rarely ever comment on anything in this place.
Maybe you're mistaking me for someone else?

susscon (2009-07-21)

@ porto_for_ever.....
have u installed the patch included with the download...??? if not try that mate... if u have then im not sure, may be a system problem...
@Zero_bs it aint exactly hard to set your pc click back a year isit? if u can wait the download time then im sure u can manage changing your pc clock date.

susscon (2009-07-21)

@Reaper24.... sorry my bad i was thinking of another user, deeply sorry. but i cant see how u think its a bad game, there are alot of bad games out there but this aint one of them lol

susscon (2009-07-21)

@tu4pac...
seriously, u must know how to change the pc date if u know how to use torrents???
click the clock settings on the bottom right of your screen??? lmao

susscon (2009-07-21)

the start.exe error happens because you aint set your pc clock date back a year....
it is a bit of a twat to do everytime u wanna play the game but just be sure to put the date back to present day after playing, because some updates for other programs wont work...i.e i could not log into MSN untill i set the date back to normal

cakefat (2009-07-23)

When i launch the game by clicking on the desktop icon it tells me to do "to play Gears of War, double clicking on Startup.exe", the same error pops up when i do that.
I set the clock back a year and followed the instructions included. Help!

Reaper24 (2009-07-23)

Susscon
No problem. I was a bit aggressive too myself. >_>
Either way, I just find the game completely unoriginal and uninspired. I really wanted to like it, but it had nothing that would make me.

machogamer (2009-07-24)

help. i've installed the hamachi fix and the game works perfectly. However i would like to backup my save games... Where do i find them?

susscon (2009-07-24)

@reaper24...
no worries buddy lol, i will double check next time i have the right person that im commenting to.
there is another reaper on here and he always puts the V.I.P's torrents down sayin they dont work, they viruses ect...
i didnt read your user name properly and just started typing... again my bad :/
yeh i get you, some games just do it for us and some dont.
i like this game, completed it real fast but still keep playing it.
cant wait untill i see GOW2 on here, maybe you will like that one more... then again maybe not lol.

susscon (2009-07-24)

@machogamer...
i know there are a shitload of comments on here to read but there are comments on here that will help you fix most problems on here that everyone seems to get...
you have to make an offline account with mircosoft live, and then you should be able to save.

susscon (2009-07-24)

@cakefat...
dont mean to underestimate your abilaties but...
are you sure you installed the patch correctly???
i had the same problem, and im 90% sure its either the patch or the date on the pc...
try fresh install and patch, then set clock back one year.

cakefat (2009-07-26)

I tried uninstalling but it said i had to contact my system administrator..even though I am one. So I ran the patch again (i assume you mean patch to be the title update?) but all i get is a blank cmd window.

porto_for_ever (2009-07-27)

@susscon

I have this game since 2008 and I couldn´t play it... till now.
I instaled it 3 times, because I didn´t have the right help.
I did the folowing:

2. runed the "Gears.of.War.Launcher" and the "makeDesktopIcon";
3. downloaded and installed the toed´s update

machasdo (2009-07-28)

Hello, i need help !
I downloaded 7zip as recommended but when i try to extract or even open the GoW file on 7zip it gives me an error basically saying that i have to extract as archive...but the damn thing doesn't let me extract.
Can anyone help me?
I just finished dnl the game...and i can't extract...that's just wrong T.T

machasdo (2009-07-28)

I just realised that it won't let me extract nor open the GoW files at all...so basically i'm screwed right? o.O

machasdo (2009-07-28)

Nevermind...i got it to extract... :D

machasdo (2009-07-28)

I did everything...it's all installed but when i go to play, it starts and then gives me a black screen saying that i have to double click the Startup.exe and this happens everytime i try and play... WTF !
Please someone help me !

machasdo (2009-07-28)

Dude, i downloaded this game to play, i've been searching everywhere to fix my problems and i've tried every solution...THIS IS THE WORST TORRENT EVER...if the game doesn't work after every effort i made to try and make this torrent work.
¬¬
Hope that everyone elses torrent works...

susscon (2009-07-29)

Im glad some of you were able to get this torrent working, like i said it does take alot of fiddling around to set up and install, i.e changing the clock date, which most people seem to take no notice of in the comments....
(PC CLOCK MUST BE SET BACK 1 YEAR IN ORDER TO PLAY, DOES NOT HAVE TO BE EXACTLY 1 YEAR, JUST CHANGE IT TO 2008 INSTEAD OF 2009 OR THIS GAME WILL NOT WORK!!!)
all i can say to the people having trouble is....
THIS TORRENT WORKS 100%
and if you are unable to get it to work...
YOU ''HAVE'' DONE SOMETHING WRONG!!!
just read through the comments (i know there is lots to read) and all the instructions are in the comments in order to get this to work...
if you aint got the time to bother reading, then forget about this torrent, or follow everyones instructions (in the comments) and (in the torrent discription of setup)
and you will get this to work i promise, just read carfully and make sure you follow step by step....
this is my last post on this torrent, help is.....
(IN THE COMMENTS) LOL...
thanx Subzero! Great work ;o)

susscon (2009-07-29)

@ porto_for_ever
P.S.
good game init ;o)
glad you got it sorted.

SamFisher440 (2009-08-02)

I got it to work but I can't save because I can't login. I have an account on Xlive but It asks me for the product key when I try to sign in. I turned back my clock to January 2008 and the game works just how it is, no update, but now saving. When I use the 40mb update, I get a runtime error and an xlive error.
Would the older 20mb update possibly help? Or is it something else? I have .Net framework updated to 3.5 SP1. And Xlive is updated. I don't know what else to do.

SamFisher440 (2009-08-03)

Nevermind, I figured it out. You have to create an Offline profile. It won't ask for a key then.

DaRkXaeRo (2009-10-14)

Hey guys...im dying to play this game. but i guess i have the same problem as others..
So heres what:
I DL this torrent, was able to finish the DL.
Followed the instruction:
1.DL 7zip
2.unrar with 7zip
3.double click on Gears.of.War.Launcher.exe (watch the whole thing till it start all over again, pressd ESC)
4.double click - makedesktopicon.exe....
"now here comes the problem" when i double click it, it says, "Missing Shortcut" Windows is searching for "Startup.exe"
Hope anyone can help me with this.....
Please please please....

jodiac (2009-10-14)

I don't know, what the hell. Downloaded the whole thing, just can't unzip/unrar file 002 and 003. I've stop seeding this one, and decided not to until some one tell me how to fix this.

Skiddey (2009-10-15)

SEED im stuck at 75%

jodiac (2009-10-15)

Don't bother, there's a fifty-fifty chance that you wont be able to unzip file 002 and 003 which makes up the 75% of the whole file.

nemrawy (2009-10-19)

when I start the gears of war launcher it says 'Patch error'(old file doesnt exist)

ok cud it be because im using xp that this isnt working?

Skaebo (2010-03-06)

Here's a question: What is so hard about uploading the iso or just RARing it? Why go through all the trouble of making it so you need to download yet another program to open it? Now I have 7zip on my pc and I will probably have to go through all the trouble of unistalling it, because I will probably NEVER use it again... I'm not trolling the upper, but that question just came to mind... :) BTW Thanks for the up, BUT YOU PEOPLE NEED TO KEEP SEEDIN G! It took 14 hours to dl this...

raj2020 (2010-03-28)

Download Games for Windows ? LIVE(google it). Change your system clock to the year 2007 or 2008. Follow the instructions given in the text format. Everything is fine.
If it says any dll's missing just google the dll name & download it.
I 100% recommend downloading this ToeD version & i'll keep seeding.

I went to control settings and made it default then went back out but it still won't work, i then went back to control settings and all the controls were "Empty" again on all control slots. How do i fix this, please? Also, how do i create an offline profile? I've been reading comments and its something i apparently need to save the game. I installed the xlive redist but i still cant in game? or do i have to do something else? thank you in advance.

I\'ve had luck with most all subzero games before, but this one I just couldn\'t get working. I got error after error.nnI also today got an email from comcast about downloading the game saying my account sould be terminated. Should I be worried and is there anything I can use to not be caught? (I\'ve heard of PeerGuardian, so imma give that one a shot.nnThanks :)

joonior83 (2010-07-09)

PeerGuardian is outdated. It is now PeerBlock. Download it, google iblocklist and get some appropriate lists (like level 1 and the comcast list). Add those lists to PeerBlocks list manager.

1)how do i use the crack?
(the second question will be displayed later) :)

ToxinX (2010-10-18)

If you're getting a modified exe error, u need to use this patch:
http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgearsofwar.xbox.com%2Fpc%2Fqfe1.htm&rct=j&q=gears%20of%20war%20update&ei=H1W8TJmyKo3RcaKjsYEN&usg=AFQjCNGE5_fPjZuryUpxGuK_j-GE19Me_A&sig2=AwtzaCVAkBQwUzx-7B9LCw&cad=rja

This patch will resolve all GFWL issues. Alternatively you could set your date backwards but i find that highly inconvenient. Anyhow, once patched, you'll still need a v1.2 crack from gamecopyworld to run it. Else your screen will crash at the GameXStudios screen. Good luck.
Now, ten minutes into the game, i'm running into a relentless stream of Visual C++ crashes. I'm using a Core2Duo clocked at 1.8GHz. Could that be causing a crash? I have 2 GB DDR2 RAM and a 512 MB HD4850. I'm running the game at 1280x1024. I kind of maxed out all settings. Game runs smooth for as long as it runs. 15-20 mins later at one point in Act I it crashes.

I finally got this game working and I was getting the stupid "d3dx10_35.dll is missing" error message.
You need to uninstall/delete GoW game and start again from fresh.
You MUST have 7-ZIP installed on your computer.
1) Right click on GoW.7z.001 and go to 7-Zip>Extract files...and click OK.
2) Once the GoW files have been extracted, Move the GoW folder to c:/programfiles
2) Now open folders GoW>Gears of War and double click "Gears.of.War.Launcher". If you get display issues, use Ctrl+Alt+Delete to close the program using Task Manager. Open launcher again, but this time Uncheck the "windowed" box and click start, You should see "one eyed dude" with some funny music playing in the background, just wait till it says "press Esc" if that doesnt work, use Task Manager to close again.
3) Now double click "makeDesktopIcon"
4) Go to the "Binaries" folder and double click the "Startup" application.
5) you should now see a window with the GoW game, make sure that "yes i will participate" is NOT selected, then click "PLAY"
6) you should now get an Error with somthing like "d3dx10_35.dll is missing or some shit.
7) go to "google" and search for and download "d3dx10_35.dll" and "d3dx9_35.dll" and also "xlive.dll"
8) once you have got these files, extract them to your documents somwhere then copy and paste these .dll files into your "Gow/GearsofWar/Binaries" Folder and also copy and paste them to your "C:/windows/system32" folder.
9) now click on your computers "clock/time" and click "change date and time" and change it to " 1st of january 2008" when finished, double check that your time is "2008" NOT "2010"
10) now go to "Binaries" folder and double click the "Startup" Application, click PLAY!
This solved all my problems, just when i was about to give up hope! Make sure your DirectX is up to date, and make sure you have those very important .dll files installed in your gow/binaries and windows/system32 folders, and also make sure you change your time to 2008. PS, i made this account just to help you people.

Open launcher again, but this time Uncheck the "windowed" box and click start, You should see "one eyed dude" with some funny music playing in the background, just wait till it says "press Esc" if that doesnt work, use Task Manager to close again.
3) Now double click "makeDesktopIcon"
4) Go to the "Binaries" folder and double click the "Startup" application.
5) you should now see a window with the GoW game, make sure that "yes i will participate" is NOT selected, then click "PLAY"
6) you should now get an Error with somthing like "d3dx10_35.dll is missing or some shit.
7) go to "google" and search for and download "d3dx10_35.dll" and "d3dx9_35.dll" and also "xlive.dll"
8) once you have got these files, extract them to your documents somwhere then copy and paste these .dll files into your "Gow/GearsofWar/Binaries" Folder and also copy and paste them to your "C:/windows/system32" folder.
9) now click on your computers "clock/time" and click "change date and time" and change it to " 1st of january 2008" when finished, double check that your time is "2008" NOT "2011"
10) now go to "Binaries" folder and double click the "Startup" Application, click PLAY!
This solved all my problems, just when i was about to give up hope!

I finally got this game working and I was getting the stupid "d3dx10_35.dll is missing" error message.
You need to uninstall/delete GoW game and start again from fresh.
You MUST have 7-ZIP installed on your computer.
1) Right click on GoW.7z.001 and go to 7-Zip>Extract files...and click OK.
2) Once the GoW files have been extracted, Move the GoW folder to c:/programfiles
3) Now open folders GoW>Gears of War and double click "Gears.of.War.Launcher". If you get display issues, use Ctrl+Alt+Delete to close the program using Task Manager. Open launcher again, but this time Uncheck the "windowed" box and click start, You should see "one eyed dude" with some funny music playing in the background, just wait till it says "press Esc" if that doesnt work, use Task Manager to close again.

5) download "d3dx10_35.dll" and "d3dx9_35.dll" and also "xlive.dll"and copy and paste thes files into your gow/binaries folder, and also to your windows/system32 folder.
6) now go to your "clock" which should be at the bottom right (win7) and change your date and time settings to "1st of january 2008" for some reason changing the date to 2008 fixes alot of issues probly cause this game was ripped in 08 not 11.
7) now go to binaries folder and double click, "startup" application.
Hope this helped, fixed all my problems anyway

WARNING, whatever you do, DONT turn on Directx10/Antialiasing in the game video settings!
I did this and it made the game crash, then i got errors that prevented me from playing the game ever since, i had to fully uninstall the game and remove any fragments of the game like HKEYS and other things relating to the game! For some reason this option doesnt go to well with my system.

I have been able to play the story mode without any dramas, except that i was having some screen flickering which is now fixed by changing my resolution to a better fit and turning on vsync in the video options! To SAVE a game, you should go to guide and create a game name, if your not gonna play online, you should just make a LAN game name, instead of creating a ONLINE name..a LAN name is just for playing story mode or Local, hope this helps..

StealthSamurai (2011-05-11)

You should just leave your computer running when you go to bed, because ive found that you get faster speeds when people in your area have gone to bed, like 12AM-5AM, then when you wake up, it will atleast be half way done...thats what i do

StealthSamurai (2011-05-11)

I have also found a problem with screen tearing in the game, There is an option in the game called "Vsync" that is sopose to fix this, But because this is a GoW bug, vsync must be forced manually. If you ARE getting screen tearing issues like i was just download a program called "Rivatuner" and after you install it, go to its folders and find the folder called "tools" and run a program called "D3DOverrider". This program needs to be running while you are playing GoW. Hope this helps

gf_ray (2011-07-06)

It's nice to see the uploader supporting this until now.
But I can't get this to run. The game Launcher always says I can't run it with modified code and closes.
Before that, xlive.dll was missing, no one said I needed Games for Windows LIVE in order to play that... Installed and can't start modded game...
S#!t, my dad says!

gf_ray (2011-07-07)

How do I save without a serial?

Magic2011 (2011-07-10)

yeah this game worked and everything, but after i let it do the registry editor to work my games for windows no longer works, date and time won't sync, this means my internet thinks websites certificates are out of date, anti virus won't update and other problems :( help?

Magic2011 (2011-07-10)

disregard last comment. :p great torrent Subzero! is a boss.

that notepad thing didn't work :(

aquablue619 (2011-08-10)

Guys, the game works perfectly and all. But i wish to sign in with my xbox profile but i can't because i need a product key. How do i play without a product key?

HomeHacker2 (2011-08-22)

@aquaBlue You will be unable to play on Windows LIVE as you do not "Officially own" a copy of this game.
You will still be able to save if you create an offline profile.
Press the Home key and if you are signed in, sign out. Select "Create a new account" and scroll down a bit until you reach "create and offline profile" (it's a Link, not a button) just enter a name there and you will be able to save. this also works with other titles that otherwise would need a key to work if you signed in with an online profile.

D7om (2011-08-24)

Is it ok to sign in with my windows live account or I will get ban ? , because it told me that I can't save without a gamer profile!

rugal2401 (2011-08-24)

finally it work's
For all who have this erruer
... Gears of War\Binaries\WarGame-G4WLive.exe:You cannot run the game with modified executable code. Please reinstall the game"
just modify system date to 2007 and it will work
Thankyou

dumas1000 (2011-09-13)

You can still earn achievements on pirated Windows Live games. You can play offline, using your official profile, and still get the points for it; most of the time. This game is an exception, however, there are dozens of other games that you can still get points for, even if they are pirated. You cannot earn achievement points for this game while offline. Plus, turning the clock back disables profile compatability anyway. The achievement system for this game is awful anyway; easily one of the worst achievement games on record. You're not missing anything by disabling achievements anyway.

NickManch (2011-09-15)

Has anyone got a changedate.bat for use with Windows7 please? I just tried it and got one of those don't have the required/necessary priviledges thing so it stops, doesn't change the date or run the game. I've had it running but it's a reall pain changing the date on this OS if you ask me and a working auto bat thing would be excellent if it's possible? Unfortunately my programming skills don't seem to be up to it. :)

hiddensight (2011-09-18)

OKay, so is there no way to get around the "You can not run this game with modified file content" ? I've looked through the comments, seen nothing. Thanks....

pkskater (2011-09-23)

hello all
I have been trying hard to get this game work on three different laptops... so here goes
-- make sure you have the latest DX 9.0c June 2010 if you dont have then download it from microsoft...
-- Then coming to xlive shit, download it as well, its an application, install it...(google it)
-- Now coming to the installation part, download 7zip(google it and download it) and extract the files of the game with this software... and place it in a folder of your choice
-- Then open the launcher icon
-- Then open the makedesktopicon icon and run the game from the desktop, if everything went well just consider yourself lucky
ISSUES...
I am going to list the issues i encountered
-- First of all when i was trying to run the game from the desktop it was saying "you cannot run the game with the modified executable code"...
no solutions for this may be the uploader can throw some light on this as there are 33 pages of comments and reading each and every comment page is one hell of a shit...
A small request to the uploader please update the info of the torrent and iclude the basic solutions of some common problems..
Another thing i would like to mention is that the problems which i am listing are not encountered with this release...
-- Another issue my friend was having that he was not able to make a windows LIVE profile(offline one), in the game it says press F1 to make a profile or something but nothing happens..
So solution for this--
Is either you try installing windows LIVE application which you can download from Microsoft or you can install any other game which uses Windows live profile for eg: RE5, Batman: Arkham Asylum and then make a LIVE profile from these games once you are done with making a profile you are good to go... run GoW and then it will automatically sign you in and voila
-- Another issue was that, although the game was running fine but as soon as i crank up the video settings and then kapoot the game crashes...
solution for this as far as i can just dont switch on the AA settings probably this was the cause but i am not sure...
And one user has highlighted this problem of crashing on page no. 5 but i havent tested what he is trying to say...
Hope this helps you...

There's nothing wrong with this torrent. If you're having "You cannot run the game with modified executable code. Please reinstall the game." just change your calendar from 2011 to 2008, worked for me.

kwigyboman (2011-10-07)

Subzero, you are a fucking clown mate. This is the most troublesome torrent I have ever come across. Why the fuck would you make it like this instead of just an ordinary, straight-forward ISO? Downloading secondary shit, changing dates and times, fucking around with the registry? Jesus fucking Christ.
What a muppet.

rugerdude (2011-10-10)

Just a heads up guys, this torrent is being watched. I don't know if I popped up on their radar seeding or leeching, but I'd avoid this one for now.

vman987 (2011-10-11)

well i downloaded the game and its really amazing...however after playing for a few hours... i guess i reached "Lethal Dusk" and when I enter the house at checkpoint 2 the game crashes and it says an error "gears of war has stopped working"... i cant play after that....everytime i reach that corridor and then game freezes... please help me out with this one.... sorry for my bad english!

vman987 (2011-10-11)

I didnt understand the step 4
The Pre-Alpha Team GOW crash fix.
1) Rename 'PC_Gears.of.War -ENG+FULL -.direct.play.-ToeD' to something short (I used 'gow')
2) Rename 'G.o.W (ToeD) ...use 7zip ONLY (extract to...)' also to something short (I again used 'gow')
3) Navigate to
'\Wargame\CookedPC\COG\COG_Characters\COG_Grunt\COG_Grunt_Accessories\COG_Grunt_FragGrenade'
in your Gears of War directory
4) Copy/Paste 'COG_Grunt_FragGrenade.upk' in 'COG_Grunt_FragGrenade' folder.
5) Finally get past that corridor ;)
COG_Grunt_FragGrenade.upk is already there in that folder... Copy/Paste it where?? please explain!

stoner92 (2011-10-13)

if your file is damaged or corrupted like mine was...
download hjsplit and join the three 001,002,003 files together and you'll get a 5gb~ .rar file you'll be able to open

stoner92 (2011-10-13)

i can't change any settings or shit happens... what can i do?

stoner92 (2011-10-13)

i don't think this torrent has any problems although i think you'll have fewer problems when you buy the actual disc. this game is probably just hard to crack and I think the company behind gears of war just made it this way so pirating this game is harder! I downloaded it and was able to play it but i couldn't change any of my settings so I was like fuck it and deleted it..

Panki51 (2011-12-10)

Okay, guys, so here is the solution:
1. Download and unzip the whole thing.
2. Start Gears.of.War.Laucher, after that the MakeDesktopIcon.exe (this is not necessary, you can create a shortcut manually later).
3. Download this:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/1/A/51A3F34C-E65D-47D1-9E28-02E3356FEC3F/GearsPC_TU3_Microsoft.exe

4. There is a folder named "_extras" which contains the original Startup.exe, copy that to Binares folder, overwriting the cracked one.
5. DO NOT run the Microsoft patch, instead of that, UNPACK it.
6. You will see a file named "update.exe", run it. It will misses the registry keys, but never mind, that's not necessary for the game.
7. If the update is complete, go to "_extras" copy the cracked "startup.exe", and if you did everything correctly it should start the game.
Sorry for my bad English, if I made mistakes, but I hope the essence is understandable. :)

hey, I stopped on 99,95% and I can't go farther. What should i do?

Akibre44 (2012-02-02)

how do i install dis shit?!

ram789 (2012-02-12)

for anybody who wants the fix to "cannot run the game with modified executable", here it is:
just change the year to 2008 from the taskbar---enjoy

AznAssassin (2012-02-18)

one of the worst game torrents ive ever downloaded. Not even ripped completely like globe or skullptura, have 2 sit through like 20 seconds of fricking pirate advertisement and than the game doesn't even run unless u tweak it urself. utter bullshit.

AznAssassin (2012-02-21)

KUDOS to Panki51
This guy's post has the perfect solution to fixing up this flawed directplay version (i.e. play it everytime WITHOUT having to change the date to 2008).
Thanks man!

marcolax (2012-02-21)

I would like an original media, because I bought the product key you have a link that might help?

Hot_kool (2012-02-24)

One of the another LAME torrent..........after wasting lot of time in reading comments i finally able to run :)
But Wtf i had to disable my antivirus............changing date to 1/1/2008 every time i play game.
whenever i use ESC to back the game it got minimized the task bar :(

anshg (2012-02-27)

this is total shit!!!!!
the game starts but controls can't be set once i set the controls for the keyboard and mouse and check again, they are still empty and i can't control the player.

jboydgolfer (2012-03-07)

I dont know how you can put up with hosting a torrent.34 pages of knuckleheads complaining that they cant get something to work.
1-unzip w/ 7z
2-change clock(takes 3 seconds)
3-make icon
4-play the game

ram789 (2012-03-09)

Ok THIS IS FOR EVERYONE WHO IS NOT GETTING IT TO WORK----SO READ CAREFULLY PLZ!!!
1. MAKE A CLEAN INSTALL OF THIS RIP AGAIN
2. THEN DOWNLOAD THE GEARS OF WAR PATCH 2 , I USED THE FOLLOWING LINK:
http://www.gamershell.com/news_46145.html

NOW NEXT STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT
3. GO TO YOUR INSTALL FOLDER AND ONCE INSIDE GO TO _extrasStartup.Original.GoW
AND RUN startup_setup.EXE
4.ONCE YOU HAVE RAN THE STARTUP_SETUP.EXE, IT WILL ASK A LOCATION WHERE IT CAN EXTRACT THE ORIGINAL "STARTUP.EXE"----EXTRACT ANYWHERE YOU WANT JUST REMEMBER THE LOCATION!!!
5. NOW COPY THAT STARTUP.EXE YOU JUST EXTRACTED TO YOUR INSTALLFOLDERBINARIES
6. NOW RUN THE OFFICIAL PATCH 2 WHICH YOU DOWNLOADED IN STEP 2
7. ONCE PATCHING IS DONE, DOWNLOAD THE FOLLOWING CRACK AND COPY & PASTE TO YOUR INSTALLFOLDERBINARIES FOLDER:
http://www.mediafire.com/?q8vwidag71cvttb

i uploaded this file!!
8. NOW JUST RUN THE GAME FROM STARTUP.EXE AND NO NEED TO CHANGE THE DATE------HAPPY DAYS AND ENJOY!! :p
NOTE: MAKE BACKUP OF EVERY FILE YOU REPLACE!!!!
AND SORRY FOR THE CAPS JUST WANTED YOU GUYZ TO NOTICE :p

2119094 (2012-03-10)

Well this doesn't work for shit, I simply can't extract anything except the first file GoW.7z.001, everything else I can't exctract

2119094 (2012-03-10)

Fuck you you piece of shit, next time you upload something make sure it works. Two hours I wasted on trying to play this game, and every time one problem was solved another one appeared. Fuck you.

ram789 (2012-03-13)

thescenereleases (2013-01-25)

Found this game off of EBAY. I have the whole campaign complete with achievs. Is it possible for others to use my save to get achievs? Or no? I'm just missing the online bullshit, the game is hella glitchy, as bad as, King Kong was for xbox360!!!
P.S. I have a legit ISO that I made from my copy!

 Subzero! (2013-02-07)
