As many of you know, this game gets disabled from time to time due to the amount of lazy people who doesn't want to get their hands dirty and make an old game with bad port like this work.
Due to their negative reviews - congrats - the game isn't available for buying at the steam store anymore.
When I made available new legal ways to get the game with links, the old guide got banned. So the only way to get the info is by entering my website at the BIOHAZARDSTATION WEB PAGE ABOVE.

0. Are you getting any CONNECTION ERROR with GAMES FOR WINDOWS LIVE when you launch the game and try to login?

I. Go to your windows "My Documents" > CAPCOM > RERC.
-You will DELETE that folder. The reason for that is that the account information got corrupted by outdated GFWL. There is a theory the gfwl was programmed to update every one in a while so you have to do this correction.

II. Go to your steam Library, right-click on Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City > Browse Local files.

-Select all the files (total of 15) that are not folders. Right click on them > "Cut" them.
-Create a new folder in your desktop.
-Drag them 15 files into that new folder.

III. Go to your steam Library, right-click on Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City > Properties > Verify Integrity of game files.

IV. Install the GFWL windows live but make sure Windows Marketplace and Redistributable are uninstalled before doing so.

V. From your desktop, use your Windows Search bar and type ''system". Check if your system type is x64 or x32. You have to double click on the right app (the one you downloaded from the Google Drive link I provided somewhere above in this guide. Also clcik on the xlivedist, one of the steps on the guide's description says exactly which ones to click.

VI. Launch the game.


1. If you have all the dlc's while your friends doesn't, and you're the one hosting, your friends won't be able to join. You'll have to join them (if they don't have any dlc's).

2. *If you download any mods, you can always verify the integrity of game files in order to get the DLCs and game back to normal state.

3. If you returned after a while without playing or has to reinstall the game and now you can't login to your online account:
To fix this, you just need to make a new account at the website (accountxboxcom).

***This is for those who's been trying to play the game with an account from before 2011.***

Register this new account in the game, after you make a password for it on that website so the Windows Live services (network) will return to normal. =)
*Unfotunately you will lose all the progress, achievments and save files from the main (old) account.*
But you will never lose any progress again if you uninstall the game. This only happens to old accounts.
*The tip for those using old Live accounts is to keep the game installed as long as you can*



1. You can't play with someone who is in the same country as you.
