didn't have much of an issue with any windows live games stuff. sure maybe it opened ie, I don't remember. you data can be easily had with any browser, if it's something you actually care about.
the IE thing is secondary to the fact that they made me sign up for a service I didn't want and had to download extra things twice, it's not really a huge issue, but it's insult to injury to have IE appear and try to prompt me to make it my default browser
are you having issues with lag? I was getting massive slowdown when I tried playing the game. Heard it was something to do with DX11.
it seems a little laggy and the audio and visuals go out of sync a lot...going to try fiddling my video settings before I pass judgement on this
