You can try following this guide from BenWah in the Steam Forums: http://steamcommunity.com/app/22370/discussions/0/828937546147175081/

Hope that helps.

P.S. You may need to disable/remove the Win 10 games for windows and Xbox features to get this working.

Oh man I used to have this problem a few years ago and then I fixed it and was able to help quite a few people fix it. I never had this games for windows live issue that starts off the instructions posted below.

From what I remember I know you had to go into the .ini file I believe and change a few things and the main issue was you needed to set the game to run on only 1 core. You can set it to 2 cores if you plan to stream or something but it added a higher chance to crash at some point.

Then as the other guide states you disable auto save and a few others. I will look for the link to how to set the cores. I believe it was a YouTube video

You are welcome tekken3 but the "real hero" is BenWah ;)

Glad you got it working, the game is really fun and easily one of my favorites, if not my favorite :)
