|
 |
so i made this topic here in technical as i find it more appropriate.
as you know im always behind gaming, so i thought now is a good time for some f3...
anyway, id be appreciated if some old fish would teach me some step-by-step maneauvers as how to install it. reading the thread in general many people seem to be having troubles with it (so this thread would be great to them, too).
so RLD version is good? i read it installs prepatched exe though, but someone in general thread gave a link for original exe.
now what? should i install some patch or DLC? does the latest 1.6 patch contain previous patches fixes or do you have to install them all? and once again: before or after DLCs (perhaps these DLCs install patches?)?
its quite a messy thing with this Fallout 3 i must say.
so thanks for explaining
yes

so by cumulative you mean 1.6 contains previous patches fixes? i may not be that good in linguistics:p
and this manual esm file moving only applies if you use LIVE?
oh, and when i install that patch do i require some fix? i read with 1.6 you dont need anything.
yes

2. Patch game to latest version.
3. Put the DLC files in the Data folder.
4. Open the Fallout 3 Launcher.
5. Click Data files.
6. Check the DLC files.
7. Play.

Fallout3.exe isn't protected but the launcher program has a disc check on it using SecuROM so you'll need the original version of the launcher or it won't be updated, doesn't really make a difference with the actual game though.

The launcher is an exe file. Can't remember the full name of it, but it has Launcher in it.

Either get a crack or mini-image. Make sure the crack is for the version of the game you have.
