fallout 3 for windows 10

I am currently having issues running Fallout 3 GOTY edition on steam on windows 10 however, mine doesn't crash on the launch menu, it crashes randomly in game, and it has become more persistent the last week or two. I have tried compatibility mode and cannot
seem to find this .DLL file that people are deleting to make it work. If you have an idea I am up to try it!

I love Windows 10, and I am really loving Fallout 3, so I really hope we can get the two to play nicely together. Thank you for any help you can offer.

fallout 3 for windows 10

I've tried compatibility mode before, and it didn't work. this time, unfortunately, was no exception. I've tried all compatibility packs and this error persists: "the procedure entry point SfmDxGetSwapChainStats could not be located in the dynamic link library
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 3\d3d9.dll."

any ideas?

EDIT: I've deleted the DLL file and it seems to work now. YAY! windows ten appears to me to be far worth the upgrade, even for gamers, and workarounds CAN be found!

for future people with issues:

i am running windows 10, 8/9/15

compatibility mode: vista pack 2 (may not be important)

DLL file (D3D9) deleted from the fallout 3 folder

I AM running modded, but may not a problem

I AM running steam edition NOT GOTY.

good luck.
