Game won't start fix

A quick option for the game to work (GFWL issue).

Fix

Here's the solution:
Just download the first .dll file and copy it to the root folder of the game.
Done, you should have no problem starting the game.
Working on W10, I dont know about old windows or W11, so you are advise.
https://www.dll-files.com/xlive.dll.html <---DOWNLOAD.
If it will not work with the latest version, you can try with the older ones, it works for some.
Your RE5 folder will end up looking like this:

Clarification and warning

Keep in mind that the file delivered here comes from a well-known site of original dll archives, which need to be replaced due to corruption or some kind of failure.
Completely reliable method.
Contrary to other guides, which invite you to install many patches and files, coming from some random guy, that can break the installation of your game, and in order to fix it, you will have to delete it and download it again from scratch.

@Earthbound_X Yep, doesnt work with old already corrupted install, mods or whatever. Just uninstall, clean your register with CCleaner and do a fresh install.

Oh wait, this did work on a fresh install, but it doesn't work with the old beta GFWl version that would give me the old GFWL achievements.
