Games for live => save game abuser

[BryanVDE]

ok, so a few days i got this problem with fallout that it suddently needed (tho i've been playing fallout for like a year now?..) xlive.dll file, went to look it up and it said it requires live, strange thing was that i already had live, used the option in fose and so on and now i'm again able to play the gamebut WITHOUT MY SAVE GAMES -_-

apperntly live decided that i should start all over again, the pr*ck (sorry for swearing just frustrated like hell, went on the net to look it up, and i got the choice to start all over again or to pay for something that fixes that bug (and other ones in vista) that they created...

admit it that you got to have guts to want to make people pay for the crappy releases you make?

anywayz,

 

Q : is it possible to disable live while playing fallout (witch previously worked but now for unexplicable reasons not anymore) or at least recover my save games?

 

anybody got an answer?

appreciate it if you do, already looked on bethsoft forums, there they say install live but i'm not giving up like 40 hours of gameplay due to some program that only is a pain in the ass and decreases game performance? -_-

there's no crash or anything (except when i don't use the xlive.dll file) but my progress should be restarted all over again?

 

(ps thanx to all thhe modders/community people out here on nexus/fallout3nexus cause they do what bethesda finds impossible to do.. create something of quality!)

Sounds confusing. Live only wakes up and does something if you explicitly sign up for it and enter your key.

 

Have you tried GFWL Disabler?

 

Search your hard drive for your saves first. Fallout 3 save files have the extension .fos

Kinda sounds like you accidentally (or otherwise) somehow launched live, in which case it might have moved your saved games. If you're playing with Live, it puts the .fos files in a special folder named for your Live Profile. Try looking in your saves folder. If there's a folder with the name of your profile, then that's your problem. Move them out of your live profile folder, and back into the Saves folder.

 

If you already tried this, or it doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas =(

Only other thing I can think of is what evilneko said: try GFWL Disabler (making sure you have a dummy xlive.dll)

 

Good luck =P

ok tnx both of you guys, helped a lot

but now i found the error

apperntly live *banned* up while moving my saves (propably cause i f*** vista a lot in the ass to make it a less crappy OS) but anywayz it remains that live therefor like corrupted my files => norton antivirus saw them a a thread => he removed it

so guess it's al lost...

ohh well, was getting tired of fallout anywayz

time to head back outside i guess :P

no really, pissed at live & bethsoft but what ya gonna do about it..

still tnx both of you appreciate the help :) - gave kudos to you both

Aw man, that's a bummer =( But at least you figured it out ^^

[BryanVDE]

ok new twist to the story :P

friend of mine took a look at it (knows more off this kinda stuff) and was able to restore the file but getting trouble to get this file back into the game :/

since my whole save folder from tha fallout3 directory was removed i don't know exactly where to put this file.

presuming it would be in the saves folder

i just placed it in fallout3/saves

but when i run fallout, the menu doesn't display the load option as on of the possible actions you can undertake :/

if anybody knows what i did wrong/ if the files are ordered correctly pls reply..

 

(and yes i realized that i'm addicted to fallout so i won't quit untill this thing is fixed or declared unfixable - does this word even excist?oO-) :confused:

[evilneko]

It's not under your actual fallout 3 program folder, IIRC it's under \My Documents\My Games\Fallout 3\

If there is not a Saves folder, make one and stick your save(s) in it.

Ok edited this comment, thought my save was clean (due to the fact it shows up in fomm when i look in save games list) but the load button on the main menu when launching fallout is still gray and not usable.

i transferred my saves in the folders you said i should put them

mydocuments/mygames/fallout3/saves

maybe i'll try now without the dummy live things i added in attempts to fix my saves :/

here we go again :/

 

Ok edit of an edit: problem fixed

it was the old xlive.dll that was causing the gray loading button, turned out to be a lil corrupted dummy so refreshed it and now everything works fine ;)

working on cleaning my last save so i gain back the lost gameplay hours :P

ty again, couldn't have done it without you guys
