Я был один из тех, кто был в такой ситуации и поверьте, всё ГОРАААЗДО проще, чем кажется! (Да, этот гайд может быть бесполезным, но эй, может и нет, откуда нам знать?)

И ВУАЛЯ! МАРКЕТПЛЭЙС УСТАНОВЛЕН!!

(Если будут проблемы — сообщите!)

Xlive.dll проблема и как решать?

Ошибка возникает в том случае, если вы такой же как и я, удалили Marketplace, но даже с успехом его установки есть вероятность появления ошибки

Ой, да тут ещё проще!

Сначала скачайте данный файл

И теперь погнали решать:

Спойлер

НЕ ПЕРЕМЕЩАЙТЕ ФАЙЛ В ПАПКУ ИГРЫ! ЭТО НЕ ВЫХОД!

1. Перенесите этот файл в папку System32(Если он там уже есть, то существующий не удаляйте, а перенесите в другую папку, это ваш резерв)
2. Попытайтесь запустить то, что вам нужно, если ошибки не будет, то это значит, что получилось, если будет, то попробуйте перезапустить пк!
