Windows 10: Fallout 3 goty from microsoft store

Alright, so, i recently purchased fallout 3, game of the year edition on my computer, i was obviously very exited to play, the when i press new game, it starts loading and pops up with the message "fallout 3 has stopped working", and crashes, i have tried every solution, from nexus mods to changing the .ini folders busethreadedai to 1 instead of 0. And nothing had worked, ive also tried uninstalling multiple times. Now i have the version from the microsoft store, not steam, so the only things in the folder are, saves, FALLOUT.ini, FalloutPrefs.ini and Rendererinfo.txt. i also have the d3d9.dll

:)

 

fallout 3

I bought Fallout 3 goty on steam and am having massive difficulty getting it to work right, any advice?

 

fallout 3 for windows 10

I am using Windows 10 pro 64 bit and Steam, I was able to get Fallout 3 to work by doing the following.

navigate to the following folder:

For 64 bit: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3 goty\Fallout3.exe"

For 32 bit: "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3 goty\Fallout3.exe"

right click and go to properties, compatibility tab and set it to run in compatibility mode for Windows Xp.

You might have to try different versions, some things will run using SP 2 but not SP 1 or 3.

This fix should work for Windows 8 and 8.1 as well.

 

Fallout 3 GoTY at super bargain price

LOL, I know some people probably do encounter these glitches, but since putting that update on I have had none of these issues from the game at all and that is after hours of playing the Fallout 3 GoTY Edition that I have for PC.

The problem with the list that Tyrael has shown is a few things:

1. What platform of the game is these listed problems coming from specifically (PC? PS3?)
2. When was these issues originally reported?
3. If the game is for PC, what edition it is of the game? (Original No DLC First Release or GoTY Edition on hard copy? Or Original No DLC First Release or GoTY Edition on Steam?)
4. If the game is on hard copy for PC (either orginal or GoTY Edition), what update it is running on? Is it even running on an update at all?

I know some do get genuine issues with the game, but the list that Tyrael has produced is way too easy to produce since millions has already reported such issues and it is very likely that near enough all these bugs have been fixed with the latest update so unless you play the game under perfect conditions such as the running the PC GoTY Edition on the latest update, on a perfectly working PC (such as with no graphic card driver issues) there is no real way of knowing for sure about whether these glitches still occur.

If someone would like to show a glitch(s) of a Fallout 3 under perfect conditions then I recommend that you show a video showing the game is genuinely under perfect condition and that the game, despite the updates been done and that the hardware is in perfect working order, still continues to have these glitches.
