    So I got Dirt 2 finally from Steam (huge game) and I can't seem to save my progress. Steam is activated but for some reason Windows Live rejects my creds?

    I keep having to start over each time I close the game. Anyone know how to save?

    To save you do have to have a Windows Live account setup... then, when it starts, you'll log into Windows Live, then enter your keycode the first time... from then on, it autosaves

    Do you have a Windows/Xbox Live account setup?

    I guess contact Codemasters then, as it's an error on their end... I'm sure you've checked and made sure you are entering it properly. Until you get that worked out, you won't be able to save...

    I experienced this once. But then, it's OK when I give a second try. LOL.

    I just hate games using GFWL(Games for Windows Live). They're just annoy(keep need sign-in) me to the hell. LOL.

    did you copy/paste the key steam gave you? maybe you made a typing error or wrote it down wrong otherwise.

    Can't copy paste since the key is separate into like 5 sections.
