I am unable to start Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition from Steam. I click to play the game in Steam, the launcher opens and I click play. Nothing happens. My steam status goes back to "Online" from "Playing Fallout 3". I've verified the game cache and meet the requirements.
- Windows 8.1 64bit
- Intel Core i7-4790k
- 16GB RAM
- 2x Nvidia GTX 660 (SLI) (Latest Drivers)
- Steam Latest Stable

Steam fails to install one of the required prerequisites for Fallout 3 to run: The Games for Windows Live client. Download and install the Games for Windows Live Client (Microsoft Download) then Fallout 3 should start.
