    Fable III DLC/GFWL


    I am trying to download the DLC for Fable 3 and I was told Games for windows live was down for good. I was also told that even though its down I would be able to download my DLC that I previously activated. Here are 2 screenshots of errors I am getting.

    I am unable to connect to Games for windows Live Client (the source for the downloadable content). I was told that is because there is no more client. If this is the case how do I get my DLC that I already paid for. I spoke to 6 people from Microsoft and
    put in a ticket at Steam. I checked Lionshead forums and steam forums and A supervisor for Microsoft Tech Support told me to post here.

  2. Purchase History Fail preventing in-game downloads.

    Okay.

    1. Delete Local Content for Fable III (I did this thru Steam interface itself)

    2. Uninstall GFWL and Redistrubutable (did this thru Apps and Features of Windows 10)

    3. Reboot system.

    4. Reinstall Fable III (thru Steam. long wait. large download)

    5. Redownload gfwlivesetup.exe and run. (it ended up being gfwlivesetup(2).exe as I neglected to delete the previous two attempts.)

    6. Open GFWL and sign in under my .live e-mail account with all my previously earned achievements and attempt to find purchase history. (Fail)

    7. Run Fable for the first time and see no compatibility issues to combat. (Game requested I close the game to download an update to the GFWL client built into the game itself.)

    8. Closed Fable III (update goes into automatic run, forces closing of open GFWL of step 6 to continue.)

    9. Relog into Fable check the ingame download room. (Find same error as I've always had).

    10. Write up this comment.

    11. Close Fable III down as I await a reply.

    = Again. Thank-you for your continued support.

    GFWL Client Error - "There was an error retrieving your purchase history"

    So, just tried to load up my Fable 3 install that used to work and couldn't load save due to DLC authentication (its all installed).

    tried to reinstall gfwl but no matter what I do I get the,

    "There was an error retrieving your purchase history. Please sign out and try again later"

    All I want to do is re-authenticate/download my Fable III DLC, I have tried uninstall gfwl/ reboot / reinstall also tried that with compatibility win 7 settings on gfwl client....

    Such a crock that this is even a problem. Don't we love digital content and the cloud, This makes me even less likely to ever buy anything from the windows 10 marketplace, what a bitter flavor of loss :/

    Batman AC (GFWL)

    Not the game entire but just GFWL. You can uninstall a game and the client will still be on your system.

    So you can uninstall each separately. You've probably tried this but it is worth asking.

    Other than that I'm not sure what else to suggest. I know GFWL is working as I've got Fable III playing at this very moment.

    fable 3 free yule hat dlc not showing up

    Hey guys!

    Thanks for the information. We've passed that on to the appropriate teams for further investigation. As of right now, it appears that you would have to purchase the Fable
    III Dog Breed Set DLC
    and the Fable III Traitor's Keep Quest Pack DLC in order to access the Yule Hat DLC. We aren't
    sure if this is by design or in need of correction so we have asked for further clarification and we'll update you when we have additional information.

    Thanks for your continued patience. :)
