Fallout 3 on Window 7

Recommended Posts

FO3 on Win7 x64 - been running it since the game first came out with no problems. I do NOT use any compatibility mode.

 

The only real problem is with Windows UAC if and only if you install to the default program files (x86) folder. And then the game itself will work fine. But UAC sees most mods as a threat and blocks them - without telling you. :rolleyes:

 

Best solution - reinstall the game in a folder outside of the UAC protected program files folders. I use C:\Games\Fallout3. ALL of my games ar installed to C:\Games\ with each in it's own folder. I have installed the steam client there also as C:\Games\Steam - and steam automatically recognizes and uses that location to install steam games.

 

First, make sure your computer can play the game - just being able to run Win7 does not magically make it work. Laptops especially like to use incompatible video & audio systems, slow undersized hard drives and not enough RAM.

Using the computer you plan to play the game on
