meyer189 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hello! I havent had a problem like this before and it started today, when i start Fallout 3 it crashes on startup and i get an error message saying something about "cannot start because xlive.dll dosnt exist"!? I have tried many options that is described on other forums but none works, i have tried start FO3 from normal luncher, Fose Loader, and Fose through Fallout 3 Mod Manager but the same happend. i have tried locate xlive.dll in SYSTEM32 but the file isnt in the xlive map. is seams it have bin deleted. I have also Reinstalled FO3 with no luck. ( I am using Windows Vista 32 bit ) If anyone could help me, thank you very much in advance! With best regards Meyer189 :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoneyLogic Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Try to install the newest GFWL Version. Go here: http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Suppo...ssuesGuide.aspx If it does not work reinstall F3 like this:Uninstall Fallout3 & GFWL -> it is possible that there are various GFWL entries in your System ControlThere are two folders left: Game Dir & My Games folder -> delete or rename them to backup -> Be careful with your backed up data, avoid using old *.ini filesClean registry (e.g. by CCleaner or RegCleaner) & defrag your hard drive RebootInstall Fallout3Install the latest Patch which fits to your Game version or use the Live UpdateIf you do not uninstall GFWL, this could cause other problems with it (can`t connect any more, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
