Update: GFWL Gone, progress wiped
Dearest Iron Brigade players! Tis with great pleasure we announce that Double Fine recently regained the rights to publish Iron Brigade on PC and as such did an update to add Steam matchmaking, in addition to a few other bug fixes and improvements!

The update was released today for PC To celebrate, the game is currently available for 80% off.

Along with some bug fixes and improvements, this update removes GFWL.

It also also unfortunately means a total wipe of player progress. This is an unfortunate but unavoidable side effect of removing GFWL as the save files are signed by the GFWL service, which means we are unable to read that data any longer.

The removal of GFWL has also fixed the stuttering issue which we were previously unable to resolve.

We're sorry about the progress wipe, but we hope you'll all agree that getting the game to work again for online multiplayer is a good thing!

thanks!

Has this fixed the bug which makes the game super laggy after a while?

Does this meant the stuttering issue is gone? I don't mind a 30 fps cap, but if it also include horrible stuttering I'm not going to purchase it.

Hooray! So happy this is done now. Bummer about progression, but that's a small price to pay. Will buy another copy for friends ASAP.

While it's great that they finally removed it, I wouldn't go that far. Took them a few years...

But yeah thank you for removing GFWL. Hopefully the game isn't laggy anymore.

Yes the stutter bug is also gone, as it was caused by GFWL integration.

Oh, does this also mean the FPS cap is gone? That was associated with GFWL too right?

I'm currently reinstalling it.

I looked at their FAQ, and the framerate cap is an issue with their engine.

I'm wondering if there's good controller support.
