jordanb1992y Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I am trying to get the FWE mod to start with, thats where all this starts. So in order to do that, i have to download FOSE, which i do and try to install. It pops up saying i dont have the latest version of Fallout 3. SO i went to bethsoft and downloaded patch 1.7 to get FOSE to install. The patch replaced my original Fallout3.exe and made it the PATCH version (not sure if it was supposed to do that, but it did) and made it a grey pip boy instead of the normal yellowish pip boy icon. So i click the now grey icon to download the patch, but the problem is that the patch gets to 100% and then once it seems like its finished, it tells me again "Fallout 3 will now be patched to version 1.7" and it keeps doing this. I went with it for at least 15 times before getting annoyed. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it twice already and that did not work. I dont know what else to do, and im noticing that a lot of other mods require FOSE to, mods that im interested in so i figured id take this up on the forums. Please help me. Thank you! :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRampage Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Which version of the game do you have? (original, GOTY, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanb1992y Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I have the GOTY version. I havent installed the expansions yet though because Im waiting to get this problem fixed first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRampage Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The GOTY edition should already be patched to the latest version. Try installing the "expansions" (actually they're called DLC's) first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prensa Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 jordanb1992y - Hello! BlackRampage is correct, GOTY version of Fallout 3 is already the latest version & does not need to be patched. Fallout 3 GOTY is version 1.7.0.3, the very latest. You can see Fallout 3's version by going to the main menu, selecting Settings - Display & it will be in the bottom left corner. Hope this helps!

jordanb1992y Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hey thanks for the help, i got it to work. I had to use version FOSE v1.1 beta 9 because my game was already updated to patch 1.7, and the FOSE i was already using did not support 1.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
