GECK and windows 8.1

Recommended Posts

so MS is deprecating support for windows 8, so I upgraded as required to 8.1. I can't get GECK to work in 8.1. I've tried, I think, all the compatability options available. Is anyone successfully running GECK in 8.1? if so, what compatability settings are you using?

 

One other question, what is the last fully supported version of Windows that GECK, without a doubt will run in - I'll likely set up a system running that version to be over my frustration

 

Thanks

donnyducky - Hello!

 

I can't help you with Windows 8.1 questions but can answer this:

 

"One other question, what is the last fully supported version of Windows that GECK, without a doubt will run in"

 

I run GECK without issue on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit set up just fine.

 

I had no problems with Fallout 3 or GECK on this system, don't even use compatibility mode,

 

I've heard a few have problems on Win 7 but many, many others also run it just fine like me.

 

Seems many are having trouble with Windows 8.1, there's a thread here:

Hope this helps!

I'm able to run it with windows 8.1 granted it runs kinda slow and it pops up with nif errors which I don't know what is causing that. I had to directly install the game to my data directory.

I got the GECK running in 8.1, it's in the main Fallout 3 directory, not the data one, in the compatibility tab I had to select Windows 7 and "run as an administrator", then make a shortcut on the desktop and when launching it I right click and select "run as an administrator" again, now it runs perfectly fine as it did in Windows 7

Just got GECK for FNV running on my new Win 8.1 laptop. After days of fooling with compatibility settings, what finally worked was just copying geck.exe and ssce5432.dll into the same folder where FalloutNV.exe is. It now works without using compatibility mode at all.

Is anyone having an issue with AI Conditions not being visible in 8.1 ? I've tried just about everything and can't seem to make them appear no matter what I do.

Fixed it. Now, have to figure why I can't get my follower script to work correctly.
