One more sad old player that can't use his good old FABLE 3 on PC because of gfwl issues

PoulpyAgrupa · Apr 20, 2020

Hello everyone, before every answer i may say that my problem is :

i got a physical version of FABLE 3 for pc (that i bought 10 years ago, with an official cd-key written inside) and i'd like to play it on my pc (working with win 10), and after installing it... no way to start because gfwl wanna check the online servers
and then tell me to check my internet ...

in my install folder i have only 3 files .exe ( f3secu.exe and fable3.exe two empty files saying this cant be launched on my pc when i try to, and fablelauncher.exe that always take me to first and second screens you can see in the link bellow)

(the same as : https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...h/1f0df22d-928b-439b-a37f-fef154f9e271?auth=1)

i've read many things since i got ths issue...

the install, uninstall, reinstall of gfwl doesnt work (even with win 7 or 8 compatibility)

the xlive.dll that you can download on many websites doesnt work

i've watch many videos too, about game on steam, about gfwl

i must say that i really dont care about dlc, od saves, achievements, multiplayer features, i just wanna play my good old game...

:)

have you tried the following

Your game is trying to connect to a server that Microsoft has removed.

The game is running zdp.exe (Zero-Day Protection) before start-up.

It AND GFWL servers have been taken offline.

If you had managed to install your game on Window 10 before MS shot their horse, you'd be okay because the rest of the servers dynamically link your account to the new servers. (Xbox Live)

I've scoured the web.

Nobody seems to have a better answer.

Because you downloaded the wrong client

You DONT download the older verions of gsmes for windows

http://www.xbox.com/en-IE/Live/PC/DownloadClient

Only download the latest client

yes, thx , i tried, but i never gets me to the "vista style" screen you can see in this tutorial, always and only gives me the screens i posted here (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...h/1f0df22d-928b-439b-a37f-fef154f9e271?auth=1)

so i'm never able to create the "local profile" they speak about...
