Runs Like A Charm!
Ignore the error popup window when you first launch and you should be good to go, i've had no issues and usually Fallout 3 is a total mess on modern hardware. Reliving this game is nothing short of amazing. 0 crashes and thats even with ALT+Tabbing in and out whenever I feel like it. Solid release.

Always instant crash on start
This game is notoriously unstable and hard to launch. Usually GOG fix this issue but not this time. Always instant crash on start. I can play around with settings in launcher, but whatever I try there is launch crash. Steam version is more stable, it crash randomly but at least it start.

Freaking amazing RPG!!!
I don't know how I went so long without playing this gem. This is peak western RPG and everybody should play it. There's so much freedom and personality in every corner. Also it's way less buggy than I expected from a Bethesda Game Studios game. I played about 40 hours so far and it just crashed once. Compared to what I've heard from people who played the Steam version, this is heaven! Just play this already, you won't regret it.

WIN10 GAME CRASH WHEN PRESSING PLAY FIX
Click on search bar, type ransomware, open ransomware protection, click on block history, in the list you can select what was recently blocked and you will see fallout 3 exe and the launcher blocked. allow it. or you can select controlled folder access settings, allow an app through controlled folder access, press add an allowed app, press recently blocked apps or all apps, add it to the list of exceptions. or you can turn off controlled folder access altogether. up to you. this fixed the game and it works. both gog and steam versions.

While steam may have fixed it's version to be instantly playable after download the gog version is more stable and better performing
