I am not familiar with W8, but have you tried to run it Admin mode?

Or run in compatibility mode for XP/W7 etc etc.

I have Fallout 3 working in Windows 8.1 x64, I tried many various fixes aswell none of them working.

 

(Non steam) Windows live, bs thing.

 

It is the reason why my Fallout 3 kept crashing at launch.

Hopefully that works for you like it did for me.

If you're not married to the idea of playing just Fallout 3, you could try Tale of Two Wastelands. It basically adds all of Fallout 3's stuff to NV like it was one giant mod.

you need goty which i dont.

[davidporter89]

could you post the info from the windows crash report? i really just need the exception code.

Ok just got my new Steam version FO 3 GOTY going on Windows 8.1, you have to put a copy of Fallout.ini into the same folder as your FalloutPrefs.ini file then GFWL disabler should work ok. I didn't need to install Windows Live as some links say. I think you also need to modify that line about Hardware threading and add the extra line mentioned.
