So recently R4P70R was asking me questions about Fallout 3 and I sorta talked myself into playing again and getting all the expansions. I remember I left the game due to the extreme bugginess and thought the install process was going to be very rough: I was right. This is a short walk-through on how to get the game installing smoothly and where to the the necessary files. This guide isn’t going to hold your hand through every step so put your safety helmet on and lower your shoulder, please.
The rundown is as follows:
- Check DirectX version – Windows 7 threw a red flag for me and I had to install dx9 since I don’t have a 10 card
- Install Fallout – The game silly
- Install GFWL – Windows’ replicate of Steam; if you skip this the patch won’t go through
http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-us/live/pages/livemarketplace.aspx - Patch – For the expansions
http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/downloads/updates.html - Install expansions
That should get you a fresh and clean install with little to no headaches.
