So if you are in the same predicament as me, I have the fix for you.
However, my laptop which is a fully updated Windows 7 Home-Premium machine was having the same issue. For those wondering, I am on Windows 8 Release Preview. It was because I forgot they opted for GFWL on this port and I couldn’t never get it working for Fable 3. No, it wasn’t because I had to get an unofficial patch to make the resolution better. I also just got Dark Souls and cursed myself for it. I recently bought Fable 3 for the PC when Steam was having the Summer sale.

Windows 8 is making many services built-in and it is headed in the right direction as far as Microsoft-branded products and clients go. You never know if you’re on the right version until things stop working. Right now it feels like an offline PSP where you have to buy the newest game for the latest firmware. With Windows 8 rapidly approaching, one has to think that Microsoft is planning to actually make Games for Windows Live a built-in service. At least Dark Souls has the decency to just crash on you and not let your hopes sit there waiting for a response. In fact, many people couldn’t even get get a blank screen when launching these titles. Fable 3, Dark Souls, you name it and people were having plenty of issues launching these games. Recently, though this problem has been around for a while now, a new version of the Games for Windows Live client came out but it wasn’t included in any of the games people bought. Playing a Games for Windows Live game recently? Microsoft must be doing something with this thing to make it such a pain to get setup.
