Dirt3(windows car game) not work with FARR running.

Dirt3 needs "Game For Windows Live(overlay)" to work,
but when FARR run,
its shoutdown after Game For Windows Live work.
(run name Game For Windows Live Marketplace at systray.)

i can play Dirt3,close FARR.and its no problem,
but find it just post this.
(maybe its Game For Windows Live's problem )

Thanks for the report chinots.. How very strange.  Anyone have any theories about why this might be the case?

i recall a post some time back where a user reported that Dirt 2 crashes upon start if Farr is running in the background. i believe this might be an issue with the Dirt series not GfWL since i have games with GfWL such as GTA IV and Batman AA which runs fine even with Farr is running in the background.

Maybe the programmer behind the Dirt series of games has a vendetta against FARR? Or Robots in general?

I buy Dirt2,by Steam Summer (gabe say "must buy") sale.
I have same issue at Dirt2.

Game crash allways at GFWL overlay window.lol.

GFWL surpport say "GFWL has many type overlay system .not just verify ID.Games maybe cant work without it. ".
(Because GFWL change system many many times lol.)

somehow,ill make batch file just close FARR before Dirt,and run FARR after it.
