cant launch on windows 10

[Ponlets]

i know there are other forums about something similar to this that say "solved" and what not but my issue is still unresolved ... i downloaded the GFWL client and tried to install it but it did not work properly for some reason ... also i tried the Xlive Dll thing and that did not work .... is there another way to get it to work

also my specs

GTX 980 ti
intel i7 4790k @ 4.5ghz
32gb DDR3 RAM
Windows 10 home 64bit
3tb HDD @ 7200 rpm

Can't launch it either. Win 10 Pro. GFWL newest version downloaded and installed, after removing previous stuff.

A download link is on the page.
After install, run the gfwl marketplace app and log in to your xbox live id and password.
The password should be your microsoft account password, xbox live game tag can be difrent.
If it fails to connect or issue with log in, check your antivirus and firewall as it may be blocking
needed open ports.
If your on win10, you can also check connection settings using the win10 xbox app.; xbox app, settings, network, will list network status and any issues.
I would recomend removing the xbo.dll file first before testing the above list.

sorry it was the xlive.dll not xbox.dll, it would have been downloaded.
Have you tried running it directly from the gfwl market place app ?
This is a direct link to download gfwl client

Uninstall the old gfwl before running the installer, control panel, programs and fetures; if it is not listed then it is not installed.

well windows 10 pro is a different version than windows 10 home .. some usability features are not there in windows 10 home

if i could play it on my windows 10 home PC i would be happy ... it does work on my main windows 10 pro PC but if i am rendering or simulating physics in blender i need another PC to play games on but the other PC is the windows 10 home PC and for some reason gfwl does not work on it .. i uninstalled and re installed with the file given to me by the other guy and it still does not work ... i got it to "log in" to the GFWL client but when i try to launch any GFWL games they just say "running" for like 10 seconds then auto close

Try to install OPENAL. It's can be found in game folder.

Also this game start in black screen for few seconds because GFWL...

I install GFWL client from Residen Evil 5. Developers was remove gfwl from game but loader install client anyway.

[Ponlets]

Open AL is installed .. its windows thats not letting GFWL launch which in turn is preventing the games to launch because this DRM is ♥♥♥♥
