G4WL Not Working in FO3...

[toxicwolf6]

When I first installed FO3, I had G4WL, and no mods/FOMM/FOSE - just FO3 and the latest patch.

 

When I used to run the game, the G4WL bar used to show at the top with my gamercard etc, then go away. The dashboard would show if I pressed the HOME key or clicked LIVE from the main menu. Now, none of the things happen.

 

Is it because of FOMM/FOSE/mods?

It's annoying because I cannot get achievements either.

FOMM- only if the "fake xlive.dll" tweak is used

 

FOSE- flat-out incompatible with G4WL

 

mods- depends on the mod I think

 

 

is G4WL patched as well?

No, I don't think G4WL is patched. Will it work with FOSE if it is?

no, they are still incompatible I hear

 

Quote from the fose site

 

* FOSE is incompatible with Windows Live, so when running via fose_loader.exe, Live will be disabled. As Live operates as a cheat-detection tool similar to Punkbuster or VAC, FOSE's in-memory modifications are inherently incomptible. Don't worry about being banned or anything like that, everything still works when running Fallout normally. To download DLC, launch fallout3.exe directly instead of via the loader. After downloading the DLC, you will then need to move the DLC files in to the Fallout data folders to use them like any other mod.

 

so it's a matter of which do you want more

Ok, thanks.

 

I'll just delete FOSE when I go on my "achievement-a-thon".

I've re-installed FO3 - but the G4WL is still not showing up, and clicking LIVE on the main menu still does nothing. All I have installed is FO3, no FOSE, FOMM, or any mods...

 

Help!

maybe something I noticed in another thread can help...

 

Update Games For Windows Live:

http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-us/about.../gfw3intro.aspx

Link is down the bottom.

 

And after that, If you have trouble with Mouse Acceleration:

Open up your My Documents\My Games\Fallout3\fallout.ini

Find the [controls] section and then...

Edit or Add the following values

fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0.0000

fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0.0000

fForegroundMouseBase=0.0000

fForegroundMouseMult=4.0000

 

I hope this helps
