IxionInc Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Okay, before I start, I would like to give you all a bit of backstory on this: I finally found Fallout 3 today in my games collection, and decided that the first mod that I would install would be the RTS Settler mod. The Settler mod requires FOSE to function, and FOSE in turn requires the latest Fallout 3 patch. Therein lies my problem. I have installed the 1.7 patch, and it gives me this error:"The ordinal 5360 could not be located in the dynamic link library xlive.dll"Apparently it's a problem with Games for Windows, and one of the solutions is to update it, except the stupid thing will not update. :wallbash: So now I am just sitting here, looking longingly at that tiny Vault-Tec mascot on my desktop.. Please help me out party people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branimirzg Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Using fake xlive dll should help you with that. In fallout mod manager use install tweaker and tick use fake xlivedll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fallout mod manager use install tweaker and tick use fake xlivedll Sorry to sound like an idiot, but is that a file you can download, or do I have to make a fake one myself? EDIT: Oh! Hah! I found it, on the Nexus even! I will try this right away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxionInc Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 All right, I tried it. I installed FOMM, disabled the settler mod, used the fake DLL tweaker, and clicked "Launch FOSE". It ran through the command prompt thing as usual with FOSE startup, and then it freaking errored out on me. I don't have the ordinal problem anymore, but it still doesn't let me play my game.

GETbacon Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 patch 1.7 = :drag: reinstalle the game and use 1.6... much better and works fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxionInc Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 patch 1.7 = :drag: reinstalle the game and use 1.6... much better and works fine The problem with that is that FOSE wants the latest patch, which is 1.7. I tried it with 1.6, but it still wanted 1.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, somehow, I did get it to work a few times, with FOSE, FOMM, and a .dll file that I had downloaded, but it would be like one time I would run it through FOSE, and it would work, then the next time I'd run it through FOSE, it would CTD on startup, but run through FOMM just fine, and vice versa. I swear, if I could backhand Microsoft, I would. They need to leave their shite programs off of my Fallout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
