PatchTheSnake Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Anytime I attempt to launch Fallout 3 GOTY it will present me with an error reading "Fallout3.exe - Ordinal Not Found The ordinal 42 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\xlive.dll" this will appear even when I try to install a patch, any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raventrigun Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 GFWL can also be installed via Microsoft's website to keep functionality of the LIVE system and repairs that error. Fallout 3 was not designed for Windows 7 as such setting the game in System Compatibility for Windows XP SP3 helps stop a lot of issues related to the game.
