ULTIMATE Fallout 3 Setup Guide READ THIS!.Not being able to run Fallout 3 on Win8 or Win10 seemed to be a common problem. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.įor several hours I scoured the discussion forums, searching for a solution or a workaround. It all seemed to install OK, but it wouldn't run - kept coming up with the same nondescript error at startup:Ī problem caused the program to stop working correctly. It installed the Steam delivery system and required GFWL (Games For Windows Live) to be installed and running as well.Īfter a bit of mucking about recovering our relatively unused GFWL signon ID/Password, Steam, the game, and GFWL were installed and ran fine on a Samsung-S3 (Series 3) laptop with standard Windows 10 update.Ī couple of days later I installed the thing ( Steam, the game, and GFWL) on a Toshiba Satellite L855D laptop with Windows 10 Pro. We had been given some gift vouchers to spend at a high street IT chain store, so we went to their store to buy a computer game, and came away with my daughter's choice, which was Fallout 3. Note: 'GOTYE' = 'Game of the Year Edition'.
