Hi.

i'm experiencing a problem with installing fallout 3 1.7 patch. Actually, I can't run game either. i googled about this problem, and most people say it's a problem related with Windows LIVE.

Using Windows 7 Ultimate K, and have updated every possible Driver, software, ETC.

Whenever i try to run the game after installation process, and at the end of the patching process, it always gives me an error message saying "The ordinal 5360 could not be located in the dynamic link library xlive.dll"

Please help me with installing patches!!!!

I've found installing Games for Windows - LIVE Setup 3.0 fixes the issue:
