WolfPackPaladin Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I recently got a new pc loaded with windows 8 and installed fallout 3 goty from steam. It works fine on its own, but when I tried to use it with fose I get a message saying "This app can’t run on your pc." I did not install it in the programs folder which has been reported to cause problems. I've also tried running it as an administrator which was suggested on some other forums and it still won’t work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 It certainly does work with Windows 8. Just because you can't get it working, doesn't mean it won't work at all. I am not going to tell you how to fix it, but I will tell you where to look for the solution. Go to the Fallout 3 section "Fallout 3 Uploaded FIles" and scroll through the file titles until you come to "Fallout 3 for Windows 7 And 8". This will provide you with help in resolving your problem. As an alternative, you can read the instructions here: http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1465357-installing-fallout-3-with-windows-78-and-xp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I am fully aware the it is possible to run FOSE on windows 8, if i wasn't then i wouldn't be asking for a solution. I have no problem running Fallout 3 goty as it was intended, my only problem is getting FOSE to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The title of your thread lead me to believe you were making a statement "FOSE won't work on windows 8" as opposed to it being a request for help. If you are requesting help, I suggest you read "How to ask for help" posted in the Skyrim Forum. It applies to all games: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1592053-how-to-ask-for-help/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
