DirtyMoFo Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) I can't get fallout 3 or NV to work on my desktop or Laptop for the same reason. I will attach a photo below. Once I click the "get help online" it downloads Games for Windows Marketplace installer, which fails on both computers due to a network error (this was also the case when I was at a completely different location using different internet). This has happened on my old desktop and my old laptop as well, I can never get PC games to work. What other programs do I need to install before I can play the game I installed through the steam program I installed, while being able to use the mods on Vortex I installed? -Desktop-CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900x 12-coreCPU Speed: 4.6 GHzGPU: SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 5700 XTGPU RAM: 8gb DDR6Resolution: 2560 x 1440Total RAM: 64gb of DDR4Hard drive free space: 417gb on a fast NVMe SSDWindows 10 -Laptop- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X8QFYFD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1CPU: Intel i7CPU Speed: 2.6 GHzGPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060GPU RAM: 6gb GDDR6Resolution: 1920 x 1080Total RAM: 32gbHard drive free space: 880gb on a NVMe SSDWindows 10 Using SteamThe games are installed wherever the system put them, I changed nothing.

HeyYou Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Just click the little "Don't show this again" box, and then click the run the program anyway button. It *should* fire off. That's just windows being excessively paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even shows on Steam that the game is closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyYou Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Is Vortex not managing Fallout 3 for you? If not, you can tell it to. Either that, or just install it manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was finally able to get the file you suggested to download, but it didn't change anything when I tried playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
