Step 4:You should be good to go after GFWL is installed.

NOTE:If you have a 32bit Windows 8 you might be able to play Fallout 3 just fine without doing anything.

Alternative way.(Should work for other OS's too)
Step 1:Go to your Fallout 3 file default location:
Windows (C:) Program Files (x86) Steam SteamApps common Fallout 3/Fallout 3 goty(depending which version you have).
Step 2:Right click on Fallout3.exe go to properties then go to compatibility tab and check the Run in Combatility mode and pick Windows XP Service Pack 3(there are others but trust me this is the best)also you might need to run it as an administrator.
Step 3:Do the exact same for FalloutLauncher file.
Step 4:you are good to go.

NOTE for alternative way that some people do not have combatility tab on Fallout3.exe and FalloutLauncher files.


Ps.I do not know if this works on disk version of the game but it wouldnt hurt to try.

3rd method (harder)
Follow these steps:

1. Download 32-bit xinput1_3.dll file

2. Extract file using WinRar archiver or 7-Zip

3. Right-click on extracted xinput1_3.dll file and choose Copy

4. Navigate to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 , right click inside the folder and choose Paste. If Copy File dialog prompts, choose Copy and Replace

Note: although it isn’t essential part of OS, you might want to backup your original xinput1_3.dll file and restore it later, if this method doesn’t help you solving 0xc000007b error.

Second method

Check hard disk for errors

Application errors and problems may also be repaired by performing disk error checking. Simply right-click on the drive where your application is installed and choose Properties. Select Tools tab and click on Check now button. If it is your primary partition that you are trying to check for errors, it will schedule a disc check for the next system reboot. In that case, restart your PC and wait for a disk check procedure to finish.

@Cjdn13 Here are a few solutions first one.
Reinstall the application

Uninstall the application which gives you an error and install it again. During installation, pay attention to these:
1. Turn off your antivirus software before starting the installation.
2. Accept any additional software offered during installation process, since it may be crucial for running your application properly. You can skip things such as search bars, antivirus scanners, registry cleaners and the other software which isn’t directly related to the application.
3. Install an application to the system partition (C:). Although this shouldn’t matter, it’s been proven that some apps may return an error if installed on a logical partition.

More in another msg. ps. this is my second acc.

I am on windows 10, and i tried the GFWL solution, and it worked at first, but now when I save it crashes.

Might be, but i myself am using a 64bit platform but its an Windows 8 so...hmm i will look in to this and will post an solution here.
Isaac Clarke 18 maja 2016 o 19:33 
Yep, I think it is an error when 32-bit programs run on a 64-bit platform maybe?

Did you do the same for FalloutLauncher file? If not try doing that.
