Can't find The Pitt

[Chemist18]

Against my better judgement I went ahead and downloaded The Pitt from Microsoft. It says it is installed however nothing happens ingame and I cannot find the files. Anyone have any idea where they might be? I remember when I downloaded Anchorage I had to manually move the files but this time I can't even find them.

i guess i wll post this again........lol ugh

 

frist off how did you install the pitt with the exe ? if yes this dose not work its gets messed up

 

you will have to find the file and put there in your data folder like mods like this

 

Note this is not officially supported by Bethesda, it is provided here only as a work around for folks who do not want to use GFWL. And, make sure you move the files, not copy them.

 

Move the files into the Data folder instead of the Live location it gets placed in. You need to move the ESM (ESP?) and both the BSA files.

 

Make sure you have "Show Hidden Files" checked off, or you won't be able to see the folder.

 

For XP:

 

You can make this change in any Windows Explorer window by going to Tools Menu, Folder Options, View Tab and about 4 options down, under Hidden Files, choose Show Hidden Files. Note, this change will allow you to see System Files and other things that are best not messed with, so you may want to undo this change after moving the file.

 

For Vista:

 

1) Open Windows Explorer (not the browser, the one showing your hard drive etc)

2) Top left corner, you'll see an "Organize" button. Clicky

3) Go to the Folders and Search Options choice, which will bring up a new window

4) Select the View tab

5) About eighth item on the list is Show Hidden Files and Folders. Select Show Hidden Files

6) Apply, OK

7) Do whatever needs to be done

XP:

 

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Xlive\DLC

 

Vista:

 

C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\DLC

 

NOTE; If you get CTD's when firing up the Simulator, you need to rename the DLC folder, or remove it. This stops the attempt to contact GFWL about Achievments

 

Move them to

 

C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data

 

If you are using a shortcut to the Fallout executable to launch the game, you will have to use the Fallout Launcher to select the Mod before you load the game. Once it is selected you can then use the executable shortcut to play the game

 

hope this helps if you need more info get back to me

Thanks for your response. I managed to find the files, they were right where you say. I just wish I'd seen your post first :).

 

Actually games for windows "claimed" to have installed the Pitt. How they can claim putting the files in a hidden folder installing something I don't know.

 

I plan to offer feedback :)
