Issues unresolved
Can't hear Xbox 360 players' voice chat
- This issue has been caused by a GFWL voice codec update on November 15, 2010. As the game was not updated on the Xbox 360 version to use the same codec, this resulted in loss of cross-platform voice chat. Voice chat between the same platforms was not affected.[5]
- No known causes or fixes.[6]
Issues fixed
Compatibility problems on Windows 7 and later
Run the game in Windows Vista compatibility mode.
Nvidia GPU pink screen
- Use ShadowrunHD.exe v1.2 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwG8F-iRwd-qcUlYSUJ5NTRQYnM/view?usp=sharing
- ShadowrunHD.exe v1.3 https://mega.nz/#F!VNUj0AYQ!FpXYfUYQZx8NCE7ASyKAyw?JIE3TYJI

Notes
- ↑ Games for Windows - LIVE DRM features: Legacy activation, requires a Microsoft account - local profiles are not supported.
- ↑ Original developer-provided servers are thought to have shut down on January 31, 2008[3]. While software for hosting dedicated servers is included with the game, as of October 2022, it is unusable.[4]

- I tried a few things and here's what I found: It works when offline, without update, works offline with update. Being logged out while online doesn't work. Disconnecting from internet when launching and connecting back when on the main menu didn't work, as the game changed the network card used - shared my connection to it and the game froze the instant my GFWL profile was logged in.
