Games for windows live is not installed or outdated
Hello,
I just did a fresh install of Windows 11. I thought I'd install some of my games that worked fine in Windows 10. I just tried Bioshock 2 and got this message
I tried to find the latest eddition - found one on CNET because I couldn't find it on MS. Still got the same message.
Anyone know a work around?
I got this message after a reinstall
I found an xlive.dll file dated 8/10/2016 and copied it to my windows system32 folder but it still won't work.
Same thing with syswo64 folder
- Fortunately I had a backup of my old Windows 10 PC.
I removed xlive.dll from the system32 directory and copied an xlive.dll file from 9/28/2011 to the windows syswow64 folder. Bioshock2 runs now.
