1. What is xlive.ini ? xlive.ini is a configuration file associated with Games for Windows Live (GFWL) – a now-defunct online gaming service by Microsoft. After GFWL was shut down, many older games (e.g., GTA IV , Fallout 3 , Batman: Arkham Asylum ) stopped working correctly or required a live login.
