CTD with Patch V1.5

[Wookie120]

Ok, I bought my game from Direct2Drive as a digital download. FO3 GOTY edition. I have installed and uninstalled and re installed it now so many times it has worn a hole in ym hard drive I think. JK, but I am getting sick of this. I finally wised up and started copying the whole flaming FO3 folder to a new spot on my hard drive, I have daily patche dit up to v1,5 with succes, until i tried to patch to v1,5. At which I am now CTD everytime I try to start to the game. My system is Windows 7 64bit. I find the Nexus Download files a bit confusing because I am not a computer expert. Given step by step instructions I cna usually accomplish what I seek when dealing with this game...but sometimes it gets beyond me. This is one of them. Sould I just try to patch straight to v1,7 and skip the inbetween? Also i have not installed any DLC as of yet. I was attenptig to get to patch v1.7 so i could then install G4WL disabler and then install my DLC. Please help before this computer becomes a boat anchor.

You only need to patch with 1.7, you can ignore all other versions. Another thing: if you install your game from D2D, isn't it already up-to-date? You can verify this by opening the game, in the Main Menu go to Settings >> Display

In the left lower corner there should be a number which is your current version.

I tried following your advice to the other user. "Skipping straight to 1.7"

1.7 loads to 100% then fires up FO3.

I start FO3 then save and close.

To find out the 1.7 was sitting in the background "Not Responding." at 100%

I fire up FO3 again to find I am still at the old load.

 

Ideas?

Whats your game version? The normal d2d version does not support other patchen than the one from d2d.

I am at version 1.06.03 (according to note in bottom left of display settings.)

 

I bought the fallout three disk over a year ago from game stop.

 

I dont know what D2D is.

you bought D2D goty

 

so you install D2D goty

and not Bethesda patch.

The box does not say "game of the Year"

It cam with only a single disk and a player book.

 

I just got an E-mail back from Bathesda. "Please note that the program is not tested or supported in Windows 7. You *may* be able to run the program using compatibility mode in Windows 7, but we cannot guarantee the program will function properly in this new operating system."

 

So until the update for Win 7, I will miss out on all those really cool mods (fomods)

 

 

They wanted me to change the property compatabiities. But that didnt work either.

 

I did a search for "goty patch" ' "fallout patch" "d2d patch" found some for 1.1 but i already sit at 1.6.0.3...
