1.Go to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features

2.uninstall Microsoft games for windows - LIVE Redistributable
and Microsoft games for windows marketplace

3.Head on over to http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/live/pc/downloadclient

4.Install Microsoft games for windows marketplace again

This should update Microsoft games for windows - LIVE Redistributable which should let the game load up and work properly

I got this too, just needed to re-enable the Windows Live Sign-In Assistant which I had disabled

To be fair, this may fix most peoples issues with anything GFWL tagged onto it. This does not work for me (Win7) for either SFXTK or Dark Souls =/ Tried a few times.

I had not installed Microsoft games for windows - LIVE. I just installed this client http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/live/pc/downloadclient and didnt work :( still getting crash when open game...

Make sure to uninstall everything related to GFWL from your "Programs and Features" section in the Control Panel. Installing the latest GFWL client somehow does not overwrite the old/broken one.

The stickied thread shows you a step-by-step of this process. It's primarily for Windows 8 users but it may also be applicable to Win7.

This solution doesn't work for me either. I am running Windows 10. I uninstalled both Games for Windows programs from the control panel, I downloaded and installed the client from the link and still I get the black screen with the unhandled error. Does anyone else have any ideas?

[CARNEVIL]

I fixed it. I had tried one of the fixes I read about by putting the xlive.dll in the games main directory. After performing the fix listed above, the game would still not load until I removed that dll from the main directory. Now all is working.
