Purr4me Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 what i could really do with is an alternate launcher or something that will allow me to do all the settings fallout 3 needs without using the normal launcher. Hell i'd be ok with doing whatever it requires manually if there was a guide to do it. Its just bugging me as i dont have another way i can actually play the game. i dont know what else to do really, i dont have a usb external dvd drive to hand (hence using my laptop as the external drive but the securom dosnt see my network drive as being part of my computer That will work? i dodnt think it would (which is why i didnt try it LOL) wouldnt there be some registry issure and such for it meing installed to a different drive letter ect? also its not the second disc that wont install its actually just the launching it for the first time to do whatever it does (i assume detecting graphic cards and such) you claim the game is already installed on the PC correct? registry entries are already there. you only need the assets from the second disc.https://www.walmart.com/browse/electronics/memory-cards/micro-sd/3944_133277_132913_63988/dHlwZTpNaWNybyBTRAieie Choice galore, choose your poison.

Mktavish Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yes you need the launcher to detect and set the graphics card ... sounds like you know what you are talking about.Which begs the question ... why you do not have the launcher if you have a legit copy ?

Default disc one is fine, he has the default launcher, the bugs come from the second disc, once you initialize the second disc, the primary launcher gets destroyed.Some new CD-rom readers will get damaged from the bug on that second disc, But. on windows 7, if you install to an external drive?then things are possible. but the bad data is still installed, and then you need to download secure roms uninstall tools in order to remove that filth from your PC, other wise any cd / dvd you incert will get corrupted or not read at all.https://support.securom.com/removaltool.html been there done all that. It sucks, it's very old DRM junk. Kitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purr4me Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 PS: the tools need t ran twice in order to verify the crap is gone.At that point you can now introduce steams overlay if you wish for better graphics and a NON-steam game.Suggested you then download the fake patch located on this web site from JustInOther. no need for the esp, just the other primary download.Now you can use the updater code for the geck Prior to updating the engine. Just remember, once you established the GOTY version old version to update the GECK first then carry on with the 1.7 update, not before. If you don't you will never be able to update to 1.5 geck.

Mktavish Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Oh so now you are helping the pirates ? LOL joking .... But atleast they should know you are serious in the help effort :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purr4me Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Oh so now you are helping the pirates ? LOL joking .... But atleast they should know you are serious in the help effort :thumbsup:LOL nah, there's no way a retails disc will work on current windows systems.I shown my own retails as an example so those that think their going to get any help here that "Are Pirates" will just give them selves up. Some time the truth can hurt. facts are facts. There were a couple others that disappeared that were trying to do the same thing here recently.But anyone that states they can run the second disc on windows 10 will be a pirate. The fact that this persons complains he or she can not access the second disc tells the truth.Though I am wondering how that dvd read/writer is doing? hehehe, it' turns them to dust. "the hardware that is." tickytickthic tic tic. and then, they find out windows locks down that drive. nah, he's / she's legit. The poster simply needs to purchase the GOG version digital download and be done with it.Retails not really supported anymore. Here's something to think about...can you imagine how many FO3 GOTY 's I've gifted?All that's needed is for anyone to post an image of their case and cd's just like I did here showing nexus form's thread like I did here and they are granted that pass. Proof is all I need, hard core proof. Now you might wonder what do I get out of it?I get a new user to watch here and post new things, maybe even new mods, or graphics, be inventive---there isn't much left anyways that has not been done to this game.we all get to share the fun. BUT ! if you are found to be in deed a Pirate? you won't know what hit you. let's see, retail owned, steams versions owned, xbox "xbone" owned. PS3 version owned, ps4 versions owned, Custom made personal VR versions owned and produced By me.== used GOG GOTY version "owned." But the facts are there, the problems match retail headaches too. The file size of the launcher from disc one is small, the 2nd dics is huge. DRM loaded.so, you see some one post they installed the retail version on windows 10 ? That's a pirate.

bullitmagnet Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Well I can give you whatever proof you want, I have fallout 1, 2, tactics, 3, NV (don't have brotherhood of steel for the Xbox though and not for the lack of trying) I in fact have 2 copies of fallout 3 goty retail discs, one as a present from my girlfriend and one from a friend who said, "you like fallout right?" I know that games become harder to play with more modern os's and that copy protection gets outdated and more difficult to work with but securom has to be one of the worst in my memory. I would obviously like to get the gog version but I can't just buy it as I cant afford to and it behoves me to when I have 2 copies of the damn game! I WAS intending on making mods, first a player house and also a iron sights version of classic fallout weapons (or at least try) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOTY Fo3 Is currently on sale right now on GOG. $9.99I am currently setting up someone else's system and game from that site remotely so I am a bit busy. Retail does not ask for serials, only Steam would ask that but the two versions are not compatible, in other words Steam will not honer what you tired to do.Steam has no keys for retail. so even if you opened up the case and read the serial number and entered it ,that does nothing.there never was any request for entering on the retails. Only if you lost a digital download, or some how really messed up your online account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can say without doubt is no two people systems, tastes, Organization are never going to be the same.The standards are whats sold, and we have a base line to go by based on the media we buy.Just like your question here. Because of that, there are resolutions to resolve and instance of an issues that one may not know that another may know.So in some circumstances, without first hand knowledge of the issue, there needs a bit of bravado and self control to analyze those situations and ---we can only surmise an assumption; until the moment of connecting remotely and see what kind of mess is staring you in the face. At this point, being professional and resolve the issues, a lot of cooperation is required. I never do things unless I ask for permission, doesn't matter what it is.I can fix things but what I fix is the IP of that individual and not mine. It is their choice what to do with the results. Not mine. you follow the rules, organize the facts, stay out of trouble, and do things as close as you can in an orderly fashion and hope for the best.That's all any one can do. Now, to your issue. Not unlike a game, or a word puzzle, I have written here what I requested in a cryptic manner. if you study the previsions post, you might figure out what I told you---Hint: Proof. it's in plain sight. lol, you know, there are those here that have no clue of how to understand cryptic speak. They consider the ;language "INANE"so there are benefits there if you can solve the word salad. Kitty Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
