I have been trying to play Fallout 3 GOTY for severl days. The game has installed (via Steam) but whenever I click on Play nothing happens. I have changed the properties to Run as Administrator and tried the Compatability as Windows XP, Vista and 7. Nowall I get is "The ordinal 42 could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 3 goty\xlive.ddl. This despite the dll file being present in the folder mentioned and the Windows System 32 folder. Can anyone help please?
Try installing the latest version of this: http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-gb/Live/Pages/livejoin.aspx no need to create an account or anything just install it. I tried to play it on win 8 a while ago but as the DLC's wouldn't install I didn't bother playing it. Let me know if you get any further..
