Ive noticed the game will also not start on CD versions without GFWL remover sometimes
It is more likely a problem with either your hardware, the install of Games For windows live or fable 3 itself. If it simply does not start at all or starts with a black screen or cursor despite this solution, then steam is not the problem Obviously to overlay steam simply add the fable launcher as a non steam game The normal extension for this folder if you downloaded it from steam should beĬ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fable 3 However should this not be the case simply start it via fablelauncher.exe Normally you should be able to start it via steam. You may have bought and downloaded this via steam, however it runs as a seperate package and does not appear if you start it from the folder instead of steam for whatever reason. Once again, this is only for a dlc free single player Place the contents in the fable 3 folder alongside the fable 3 exe it will not allow you to play multiplayer or use any DLC unfortunately Notes:this was my temporary solution to GFWL not working, it will get you past the black screen and let you play single player. Windows Live ID sign-in assistant (this may be missing from the add/remove programs list)Ģ)windows live essentials (i dont personally recommend this, theres better free stuff)Ĥ)Games For Windows Live Marketplace (REQUIRED)ĥ)Fable 3 and any other GFWL games (derp)
Windows Live Essentials (if you have windows 8 it came preinstalled) Notes:This one worked for me, may not for everyone(?)įor some odd reason GFWL is incompatable with a lot of microsoft stuffįable 3 and any other GFWL games (i dont think this is required, just safer this way) Therefore the problem is usually with GFWL and not Fable 3, and even if you cannot get GFWL to work, there is a way to circumvent it (albeit single player only and DLC free) The reason this occurs is because when fable 3 starts, it must log into Games for Windows Live before it will start. If you are having this problem, dont worry! it probably has nothing to do with a bad installation of fable 3. Symptoms:Game will start but only the fable 3 cursor will appear on a blank screen
