Kozar Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I downloaded the freshest fallout patch from bethesda a few days ago and since I installed it fallout 3 crashes on startup. I don't have any of the expasions (i.e. Op. Anchorage, The Pitt, etc.) installed, just regular Fallout 3. I don't know how or why something went wrong and I get this error code: The ordinal 5360 could not be located in the dynamic link library xlive.dll. Kinda a noob with with this kind of business, would deeply appreciate any help. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFrank114 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 You have me worried. I recently purchased the Pitt/Anchorage game kit. With the disk was upgrade V1.4.0.6 . Once I installed the upgrade I then loaded the mods. To activate them you need to set up by using the original disk program. THE DISK WOULD NOT BE READ! I had to remove everything and then had to do a system restore to finish removing Fallout in order to reinstall it. I have downloaded V1.7 and plan to install it instead of V1.4. Maybe someone will know about both our problems, Is V1.7 buggy? I will be monitoring this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csb Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Kozar: If you don't play Fallout3 using a downloaded version, you could try installing one of the great xlive.dll disablers. Patch 1.7 is definitely less buggy than previous versions. The recommended install procedure is to install Fallout3 (from the DVD) and immediately install the 1.7 patch, even before running FO3. Then you'll want some great add-on utilities like Fallout Mod Manager, ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! and FO3Edit (and the great guide in using it by Miax). If Fallout3 was a DL version, you may have to migrate from the GW-whatever folder to the "actual" game folder ... there's a utility for that too (sorry, not as up on that as I should be, since all my DLCs were installed from DVD). As for Sir Frank ... Same deal, install Fallout3, upgrade to 1.7 AND THEN install the DLCs. Also, if you are using Windows Vista, there are some problems with SecuROM and the Vista User Account Control (UAC). I had to disable UAC in order for my DVD drive to install Fallout3 and the DLCs. Also, I understand from reading posts, etc. that doing the 1.7 patch on top of installed DLCs doesn't work all that well. Can't say from my own experience, just something noted in the forums. So best to install Fallout3, patch it to 1.7 and then install the DLCs. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I've answered this question a number of times now: If you get an xlive error on startup, that just means you need to update GfWL. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=128962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csb Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I've answered this question a number of times now: If you get an xlive error on startup, that just means you need to update GfWL. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=128962 Even though I don't use xlive, it was good to know that! Thanks for re-posting it (probably for the umpteenth time) ... they should sticky that link somewhere. :thanks: So kudos to you for your conscienciousness and patience! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saizai Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I have this same issue. Installed vanilla F3, immediately installed 1.7 patch. Try to launch, I get through the first loading slide and it crashes. I just tried installing the above-linked GfWL setup. Again, same crash. :( Any other suggestions?

saizai Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Also, PRE patch it launched fine. I even got it (mostly) working with FOMM, various mods, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saizai Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Tried the 1.6 patch: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7280 Same crash: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: Fallout3.exe Application Version: 1.6.0.3 Application Timestamp: 4a147392 Fault Module Name: Fallout3.exe Fault Module Version: 1.6.0.3 Fault Module Timestamp: 4a147392 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 007f4989 OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 8d13 Additional Information 2: cdca9b1d21d12b77d84f02df48e34311 Additional Information 3: 8d13 Additional Information 4: cdca9b1d21d12b77d84f02df48e34311 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csb Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 saizai: Are you installing to the c:\Program Files default installation? I have read countless posts that it is far better to install to a directory other than Program Files, like c:\games\Fallout3. This is especially true in Vista, where the Program Files directory is under UAC (User Account Control) security and UAC and Fallout (and Oblivion) are almost mutually exclusive, even when going to the trouble to create a User account specifically for Fallout. The error message you posted is vaguely similar to the ones I got when I originally installed to c:\Program Files\etc. Though my memory might be hazy, it's been a while :D Hope this helps.
