C# XNA - Demo Game Racing Game crashs (GamerServicesNotAvailableException)

Question

Hi, I want to test the demo game Racing Game, but after a few seconds it crashs with GamerServicesNotAvailableException. I don't know what I have to do. Game Studio and Games for Windows LIVE is installed, what do I need?

Thank you.

Answer 1

I'm interested in this as well as I am just getting started with XNA. Just to cover bases, have you checked that none of the conditions listed under the help for the GamerServicesNotAvailableException are true?

Is this your development machine, or is it a secondary test machine? Aaron Stebner also discusses possible causes of GamerServicesNotAvailableException in his post 'Introduction to Windows game deployment features in XNA Game Studio 3.0 and 3.1' - which also takes the cake for the longest blog post title i've seen in a long time! :)

If you find out the problem, please post here!

Thanks! Z

Have you tried looking the XNA forums, there seems to be some related info in this post.
