By Yuito

For anyone having troubles running the game on Windows 10 (and probably earlier versions) due to Game For Windows Live crap and unable to pass through the PRESS "ENTER" screen.

The Solution

Starting the game for the first time will install Games For Windows Live (GFWL) bundled with the game. This is the EXE version of GFWL that doesn't work and you're unable to pass through the Press "ENTER" stage. Instead you need to find and install GFWL using the MSI package.

Start the game at least once, before following the guide below. This is important, since on the first start, Steam will install the broken GFWL.
Uninstall anything you find related to Games for Windows Live initially installed by Steam.

The EXE version of GFWL doesn't work. Download the MSI directly from Microsoft and install it.

download.gfwl.xboxlive.com/content/gfwl-public/redists/production/xliveredist.msi

If unavailable, simply google for xliveredist.msi: https://www.google.bg/?q=xliveredist.msi hopefully you get it as a first result.

Run the game. Press "ENTER".
Choose to "Create New Profile". DO NOT click "Continue"!!!
Instead, scroll the text down and click the small link "create a local profile".

Enter a username. Click DONE. Enjoy the game!!!

I got the Steam code off Amazon and followed this guide, now the game won't even come up. It acts like it will come up but no screen

After following this guide the game doesn't start anymore. Instead I get following error message:

Download the xlive.dll&.ini will make it work on Steamdeck with proton 7 mode. When the game start, the ''Enter'' button is working for skip the LOGO of companies, but it didn't work at the menu which told u "press ENTER".

EXTRA STEP NEEDED:

I had to go to my
"...\Steam\steamapps\common\Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection\BINARIES\WIN32\"
folder and choose to run MKHDGame.exe "As Administrator" on the properties of the file in order for it to download the profile, otherwise it kept failing to download my profile.

To Force Close the game, CTRL+ESC brings up your start menu and minimizes (almost all) Fullscreen games (including this one).

Also, check if Windows Firewall is asking you to allow it to use the internet, if so, probably allow it so it can download your profile.

You will also have to force close the game to have it finish signing you in and downloading your profile and then you launch the game again.
