does Fallout 3 run on Windows 8?

[Guest]

i really want to buy it (use to have it on 360) but i read on the Steam page that it is not compatible for windows 7 and up, so would I a windows 8.1 user be able to run it ?

From your title you are asking if fallout 3 is compatible with windows 8 I have no clue what is in your post though since I have your color fonts blocked so there is nothing in your post. But to answer your question yes it will run on windows 8 it use to be windows live but when it was discontinued it was changed.

it works fine I know windows 8 has an issue where there is noticeable mouse lag. aside from that it should run fine (I never tested with windows 8.1)

Its unknown, I got it working on windows 8 by patching it with a Windows live disabler and some other voodoo, but the next time I installed it couldn't remember what I did and gave up trying.

The good news is you don't actually need it to launch if you just want to play it through New Vegas and TTW. TTW will copy the files it needs from your FO3 installation whether it launches ok or not.

im not familiar with TTW?

 

i read on betheda's official site that they acknowledge that it may not run on windows 8 and theyre fix is i would have to tweak the ini and run it in compatability mode, how does Fallout (3) Script Extender (i think its just called FOSE, right) fair, does it run smooth on windows 8?

TTW is Tale of Two wastelands, it allows you to play the FO3 game using the later NewVegas engine and mods.

Fallout 3 runs fine for me on Windows 10 so you should be fine.

is TTW compatible with FOSE? id guess its a no because it sounds like TTW has its own launcher (i kind of like the concept tho- even the imo Courier > Lone Wanderer) but i didnt find anything on TTW's site mentioning FOSE

You won't need FOSE at all if running TTW, because you can't use FO3 mods only New Vegas mods, it also requires you to have New Vegas of course and NVSE. The major adjantage to the New Vegas engine is FONV Engine and NVSE is more powerful than FO3 Engine and FOSE and it allows you to use Sexout and more complicated mods.

if youre saying what i think you are saying- holy moley.

 

so FONV mods work in FO3 with TTW but on the flipside any and all fo3 mods will not work in TTW?

Yes essentially you are pulling all the Fallout3 assets, maps and quests as an extension of FONV running under its later software engine.

You just hump on a train in NewVegas and you get off in FO3 and vice versa. TTW has its own website for the latest version.

Its pretty easy to port the simple mods like clothing to FONV, but near impossible for the complex ones. Baring in mind there are already ported versions of most FO3 mods for NV.
