Every time I try to launch the game, whether it be through steam, nexus MM, or the desktop, I get to the launcher, click play, and then nothing happens. In steam, it shows my avatar being green as in "in-game" status, then in about 3 seconds, it returns to blue.

When I tried launching through NMM, it said "xlive.dll is missing" and tells me to re install that dll. I tried re installing the game overall, and it did nothing. I have no doubt this has something stupid to do with the fact that the game is a windows live game, which pisses me off.
