bradleywong515 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hey guys, would appreciate it very much if someone could help me out with this. I have the Fallout 3 GOTY, and I installed it without installing the latest patch, and the game ran perfectly. Then I realized that the FOSE requires the latest version, so I downloaded the official 1.7 patch from Bethesda. Now I can't even start the game, as it just crashes back to desktop. I've downloaded no mods so far, deleted the FOSE, and have tried reinstalling Fallout 3 multiple times. Pretty much on a new install, it runs perfectly, but when I install 1.7 it doesn't work. Any fixes for this? If not, is there a version of FOSE that doesn't need 1.7, or do I not even need a patch for GOTY?

robx99 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I have the GOTY aswell, and for me it includes all the 5 DLCs and the lastest patch (1.7.0.3).Try reinstalling, and check the Vault Boy icon at the title screen for the current installed version. Version 1.7.0.3 (as of July 31' date=' 2009) The Game of the Year Edition, which includes the original Fallout 3 game as well as all 5 of the downloadable content packs, was released on October 13, 2009 in North America and October 16, 2009 in Europe. It was released in Australia on October 22, 2009, and in Japan on December 3, 2009. It was made available on Steam on December 17, 2009.[/quote'] Edited March 21, 2011 by robx99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleywong515 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Unfortunately, mine is version 1.0.0.12. I can't find my extra DLC disc though, would the DLC upgrade Fallout 3 to the new version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Steam automatically downloads the patches you need to you - whether you want them or not. :rolleyes:If steam didn't update you with that patch, you probably didn't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleywong515 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Bought the game from Amazon, comes in the retail box and everything. So I install the game with disc 1 (the regular fallout 3) and then run the game without any patches, and it runs fine. I then install disc 2 with the DLC, and then it gives the "fallout 3 is not responding" error. Hey guys, would appreciate it very much if someone could help me out with this.

proconsu1 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Don't remember for sure, but isn't there some kinda patch file on one of the discs that is supposed to be installed after the game but before the DLC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleywong515 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 No there isn't that I know of, even the manual says to "insert disc 1, follow instructions to install" then "insert disc 2 follow instructions to install" Don't remember for sure, but isn't there some kinda patch file on one of the discs that is supposed to be installed after the game but before the DLC?
