Fable 3 and the xbox play

I have Re-Installed fable 3 games for windows live using the cd I bought a few years ago,

I have installed the client Games for windows live and signed in, (as apparently it could still connect to the network to play fable 3)

I then done some research and found out it runs through steam as well (fable 3 is not on steam or atleast any more)

I signed in the xbox live in windows 10 as normal created a short cut to add the games to the list and it still doesnt work.

I still keep getting the error that it cannot connect I have run in admin mode as well to see if that helps an no go, the xbox live recognizes that I have played it in the past in 2015 but this does me know good, any suggestions would be appreciated

 

Fable 3, Windows 10 & GFWL

Hi,


I bought Fable 3 as a PC game disk when it first came out in 2011. I installed it on my Windows 7 PC, logged in with Games for Windows Live and it all worked fine.


Cut to present day. I now have a new PC updated to Windows 10. Lionhead Studios is sadly no more and GFWL has been taken over by Xbox.


The Xbox app on Windows 10 recognises my old GFWL account login. Fable 3 is in my game list, along with the achievements I unlocked in the past, but it won't play directly from there because it was a physical CD game not a download.


When I try and install the CD it now says it can't connect to the GFWL server to verify the game. It installs fine, I just can't actually play it. I know many users are experiencing this problem. I have tried all the suggested fixes: replacing xlive.dll,
running the game from zdp.exe, changing my system clock, downloading the most recent version of GFWL client, and running in compatibility mode.


NOTHING works! Has anyone found a solution? Windows and Xbox help are of no help at all, and usually direct me to each other. Is this really a dead game now?


Any help would be MUCH appreciated. 


Thank you.

 

Fable 3 failed to install

Hello Austin,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per description, you are getting cyclic redundancy error while installing Fable 3 on your system.

I would suggest you to download the latest graphics card drivers from the manufacturer website.

You may also try installing the game in compatibility mode.
Follow these steps to install the game software in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• Right-click on the game setup file and click on
  ‘properties’.
• Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
  ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select (previous windows) operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.
