Fallout 3 mods steam8/4/2023 ![]() I'll let you know if I hear anything good back.įor younger readers, you lucky dears, I'll explain that Games For Windows Live was an artifact of the times when Microsoft expressing interest in PC gaming felt like an empty promise at best, and at worst a threat. I've reached out to Bethesda with questions about accessing GFWL DLC, and if they plan to fix the longstanding problems with Windows. It is curious that they're endlessly releasing new editions of Skyrim but have left this game be. A shame Bethesda didn't fix that while rummaging in the game's guts. I'll point you to the ever-helpful PCGamingWiki for fixes and workarounds to many of the issues. Hmm.Īnd yeah, Fallout 3 is still busted on modern versions of Windows. I do see someone on the Steam forums saying they can no longer access the DLC they bought. Removing GFWL from the non-GotY edition might also be a problem, considering the expansions were originally sold through GFWL. If you already updated, try this workaround to undo it. FOSE's website notes, "I do not have a timeframe for when FOSE can be updated to this new version." If you rely on mods built with FOSE, avoid for now. The nature of the script extender is such that yup, it'll naturally no longer work when the game is updated-this isn't a malicious action from Bethesda. The update has broken the Fallout Script Extender (FOSE), a popular tool required by more-advanced mods. One big issue: you might want to avoid updating if you play FO3 modded. Might need to dig save files out the old GFWL folder too. If you already had FO3 installed on Steam, Bethesda suggest uninstalling and reinstalling to get it to play right. Unofficial tools have let players get around this before, but now it's just gone. GFWL has been dead for a while but the game still required it and would take a while trying to log in on startup. Bethesda started selling Fallout 3 without GFWL on GOG last year, so it's good to see Steam catch up. Yup, it seems they've stripped GFWL from the regular edition too, obvs. The Steam announcement says plain and simple that Fallout 3 GotY "no longer requires Games for Windows Live" and "no longer installs Games for Windows Live dependencies". However, avoid the update if you play FO3 with lots of mods. Hooray! FO3 is still busted because Bethesda haven't updated the game to run happily on modern Windows, but I'll take any opportunity to dance on GFWL's grave. Thanks for all your hard work! This mod is the only reason why I bought FO3 on the steam sale along with NV.After 13 years, Fallout 3 has finally removed Microsoft's reviled (and broken) Games For Windows Live service from the Steam release. This will be like the ultimate experience. Ive played through most of New Vegas but have never played FO3 before. I'm really looking forward to playing the TTW mod. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just thought I would ask before I mess it up too much and have to reinstall everything. When I download texture packs or mods for Fallout 3, do I put them in the Fallout 3 folder or the New Vegas folder? I'm assuming it would be the New Vegas folder since otherwise i'm not sure how to get the plugins to show up in NMM.Īlso, if the NV folder is the correct destination, I would probably need to do the manual download for each mod since clicking the "download with manager" button tries to put them in the Fallout 3 folder rather than the NV folder. I'm sure its obvious, but I still thought I should ask. ![]() I've looked around but I havent been able to find an answer. I'm new to the forum and pretty new to modding in general.
