Fallout 3 Keeps Crashing Windows 10

Windows 10 Fallout 3 Crashes. The game crashes at different intervals. It crashes upon the character being attacked by Mirelurk, upon leaving Megaton, while entering a new area, upon breaking a Raiders guard, texture crashing, and so on.

Just downloaded and installed Fallout 3, GOTY Edition from Steam, and it says it can't get something 42 from xlive.dll. Google says that's Games for Windows Live which has been deprecated, but installed anyway.

There's a GfWL remover on the Fallout 3 Nexus site, but it won't run until Fallout 3 has been ran once and created its .ini, but Fallout 3 won't run until it can find GfWL. I believe I was able to remove GfWL from Fallout 3 in Windows 7, but I am not sure I am using the same tool to do so.

I tried running the latest version of the unofficial (fan) patch.

Fallout 3 Nexus says FOSE (FallOut Script Extender, required for many mods) bypasses GfWL as a matter of course, but it throws up the same error.

Compatibility mode for Windows XP (what Fallout 3 was designed for), running as administrator, nothing works.

Skyrim works just fine. Just did the opening and Helgen escape (training dungeon). Zero kills FTW. I'm a bit Skyrim'd (and Elder Scrolls'd) out, but it's still a damn fine bit of game.

It seems to for the time being. It's actually kind of interesting. The game's launcher came up, I switched to the high preset, and it crashed everything. Loaded back up and seems to be fine now. I do think it needed more testing before putting it on GOG.

It did for me with one move - had to set compatibility mode to XP SP3 (as suggested on Bethesda net) and worked perfect. I cannot say if whole game works,but I have no reasons to expect otherwise. I was off to play the game 1 minute after installation. If not less.
I had no problems playing 2 hours of it or so. I closed it down myself. Will try another two and see how goes.
Edit ; After i went wild on mods, and used tools for that, had to revert the compatibility modes (didn't affect launching game from NMM, but did cause crash from launching from desktop)
However it does not change the point i tried to make at start of my post that game works and runs. I do not know why I had to use compatibility mode at start and revert later, but I, for one, do not regret buying this beauty again!

It worked fine for me without any tinkering. The launcher gave me an incompatibility message, but I just clicked okay and it worked fine. I'm using the newest build of Windows 10.
