Ikezu Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Okay so when AFTER i download and have all the 3 patches I need.. 1.0.0.15 + Fake v1.5 + Unofficial patch(latest) and I can play alright but then when I try to install the DLC it says "You own the original retail game, please download the latest patch at bethsoft.com." I think I may know the problem but I dont know how to fix it, I downloaded all the content in one simple installer so I cant do the hidden file search and move the files manually like in what the tutorials said and I have tried multiple times. I also cannot just get rid of Broken Steel to play because when I try it says the same thing, I can uninstall the files by clicking an .exe in the folder and I can play so its obviously a problem with the DLC, is there any way to fix this without having to buy each DLC seperately again? Oh and I did use the search button and came out with nothing related to this so if there is some topic that I missed please direct me to it. :thanks: I am very ignorant and I know I probably missed a step or did something completely wrong. Edit: As stated in my other bad posts, Please delete the copies of this post, my internet failed me and I lagged and clicked the "Post" button too many times I guess out of impatience. Please forgive me and if there is a way to delete your own topic please tell me how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddleofsteel Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 This sounds really strange. I didn't even know that you could get all the DLC + the full game in one installer. I will see what I can find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikezu Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well, I ordered them on a disc from a website that I use a lot so it can't be a faulty DLC pack. Also the games DO work because when I first installed it and without all the modded items it allowed me to play these but I want mods and the game doesnt allow me to have mods AND play the DLC content. Edit: I bought the game seperately, the I bought all the DLC on one disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeFwock Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I assume you are using FOMM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikezu Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yep, using FOMM, I have tried the actual Launcher and the direct launch, they both crash when I try to load a save. I did the pinned tutorial and everything is right from what it appears. Should I try using one of the other methods? Or should i just buy the DLC seperately? Its not a huge deal but I don't want to waste money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeFwock Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 eh... I'd try a fresh install before spending all that money again. maybe something got fudged in the time between your dlc installs and your mod installs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikezu Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Oh, I've done that 3 times, If i uninstall the DLC I can play fine with mods. But the first installation with the DLC, no mods, patch v1.15 it worked. So.. I guess I should just beat the DLC's 100% then play with mods? I'm not sure that would be worth it at all. Should I try the whole masterfiles with the FO3 method? I assume my whole problem is because I dont have v1.15. I really want DLC and mods together but I can live without if there is no solution.

Wandik Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 if I understand it right, you can't download th DLCs? thats strange... however, everytime, there is a work around :) download 1.5, install it, download DLCs, install it, make backups of it's files, reinstall FO3 with fake etc, put DLCs back to appropriate location :) if i remember it well, all DLC's have only esm and bsa files well named, and BS has some bik videos too...

Ikezu Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 I have solved my problem, it turns out that my Fallout3.ini was the problem, after following TeeFwocks (ty)'s fresh install plan, I looked out how to make a clean install, and something in my Fallout 3 (my document folder) was the problem, so I assume it was Fallout3.ini. Thank you for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
