Play Gears Of War 1 Offline with save feature

I barely play modern games because i don't like them. I remain at 1995-2010 gaming era because it was best for me. Now i started finding more old games and i found gears of war 1. It didn't worked at all and i don't use internet on my windows pc 99% of time. I sometimes use steam to download some old games like DeusEx.

After trying some experiments and solutions at pcgamingwiki website when nothing worked i experimented on my own. I read about Xliveless which allows xlive without actually having xlive.

I pasted xlive.dll into Gears Of War Binaries folder and started the game. It worked perfectly and saving also works.


Fix:

Download Xliveless package from internet or links below. Extract xlive.dll and paste into Gears Of war Binaries folder. If it doesn't work then set compatibility mode to older windows.

Xliveless link:


I don't remember from where is got mine Xliveless but mine xlive.dll has size of 209,920 bytes and its x86 i.e. 32 bit dll. Try this exact file version and game should work.

WebAssembly port of sfArk extractor. Extract or convert sfark files to sf2 files.

After i stopped working on Android projects due to various reasons i started porting many of my apps to web. One such port is sfArk extractor. Click below link to open the webapp "sfArk extractor"

sfArk extractor WASM webapp.

 

NOTE:

This web app DOESN'T UPLOADS sfark files to server. Your browser does the conversion task almost at the same speed of native apps like EXE files on windows or other OSes.

The tool is also available below via itch.io store.
