Balbor Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 After being given a HD4890 to replace my 4850 the first thing I did was dust off Fallout 3 and start playing it on Max setting. I've not played it since before the first DLC came out and only have the first patch that was released. I'm playing with a number of mods, although most or not current versions and I've seen a few I want to try but need to update Fallout 3. I've noticed that there are some problems with the latest patch so was wondering what's the best patch to update to, and will I need to restart my save game. I'm mainly looking at FOOK2 mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It really doesn't matter, although these are good rule of thumb: 1.0.0.15: last version where VATS actually worked correctly1.5: avoid this one like swine flu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMilamber Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Patch 1.7 works perfectly fine for me, with a hex order in FOMM up to 7A (and I do run FOOK2 - wouldn't play without it now!). From 1.5 onwards .esp based mods can give you grief if you don't use Master Update, though (on the plus side, they fixed most of the random crashes...) If you don't already have it, FO3Edit (which doubles as FO3MasterUpdate) and instructions on how to use it can be found here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
