Fallout 3 GOTY and FOSE

[pilchar]

So i bought the game a few weeks ago and I just found a mod that needs FOSE. Well I continue to install the mod. Everything goes right as rain until I actually click on FOSE launcher and all it says is can't inject dll. Any ideas how to fix this, or even know what it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Frist off.. what version is your game at now? Did you applied the latest patches? (up to 1.7) read here for more info http://www.fose.silverlock.org/

And you've put FOSE in your game folder.. right?

I have no idea how to check my version number but I haven't downloaded patches but I do have it on steam so it might have dowloaded them for me. I have installed FOSE correctly, I know this because I have installed script extender for a few other games and they all work. So now that filled in the holes to my problem( but knowing me there are probably more) any ideas?

When you want to start the FOSE Launcher, right click and choose "Run as administrator". It appears you have made your installation in the Program Files under the controll of the UAC.

To check for version number just hover your mouse pointer over Fallout3.exe and a small bubble should appear where it says File Version. Or you can just right click Fallout3.exe and go to properties then Details.

I asked you this because FOSE may not support your version. So look up your version of the game.. and then check on the FOSE site.. or in the readme.. to see if it's compatible.

Tested it out and running as an admin works

I figured out thats why you needed it, I just had no idea what it was.

 

Thanks for the help everyone

Yes, a few. You did not install FOSE correctly. You installed FO3 in the default location of "Program Files" where the Windows User Access Control prevents any changes to be made to any files install there.

 

FO3 is not now nor has it ever been a Steam game. Steam is just the vendor, like Best Buy or Walmart. You do not need Steam to run FO3.

 

Also, you have been here long enough to know not to necro old posts.
