Samuraitech Posted December 19, 2021 Posted December 19, 2021 Fallout 3 was updated on Steam to remove the "Games For Windows Live" GFWL. This was a major cause of crashes, or just plain not running at all for Fallout 3. You can also buy the game from GOG and it's already fixed. I already had the game on Steam, but have not played for awhile. This post is for people that may be getting the urge to revisit FO3 and do not want to use Tale Of Two Wastelands. TTW is another alternative to running FO3. I will have a couple of links for FO3 game enhancement guides, so I don't want to get too large in this post. Just the bare basics, bare for me, to get your game running smoothly. I have run the game now for a week without crashing. I have not limited the framerate and the game frame rate is running between 60 and 85. No crash on loading cells and the game is very responsive. It may even be running better than some Skyrim SE or FO4 games. I was shocked. I have never seen this game run so well. I am actually having a lot of fun with the game. First off, if you have FO3 installed you may want to delete it and reinstall so you know what you are dealing with. My game was not installed so I had to do this anyway. The version will be 1.7.0.4, which will not work with FOSE at this time. Use this mod. Fallout Anniversary Patcher Downgrades Fallout3.exe from 1.7.0.4 to 1.7.0.3 https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/24913 Includes 4GB Large Address Memory Aware Patch, GFWL removed, Mod Limit Patch, Intel HD Graphics Bypass, FO3 Win10 Fix.

You still need Izumiko's original Mod and the BNB if you want bouncing breasts. Load Order: T6M by Izumiko's, T6M BNB body with more options, BNB Bouncy Mod by Thaumx https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/24289 On Nexus user wkdRmffhemqkseka has a dozen or so T6M clothing/armour mods to go along with the T6M Expanded body mod listed above. Meshes only no plugins. Still need Izumiko's T6M mod. On Nexus user TelShadow has about 5 screens of mods for enhancing the game. I added a bunch of Raider specific mods such as Springfield School Raiders Overhaul. Worth checking out.

You can also use Tale Of Two Wastelands, TTW. Tale of Two Wastelands (FO3 Must be 1.7.0.3 clean and not modded before upgrading NV and FO3 to TTW.) https://taleoftwowastelands.com/index.php I loaded Fallout NV in Fallout 4 as a Mod. Not complete yet but playable. Looks amazing. You can build settlements now in New Vegas!!! Project Mohave https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/55215 Hope this is helpful to some. Going into the holidays people may be looking to get back into some old games.
