Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition

one of my favourite games of all time, used to play on console and the experience is much better on PC, easy to move saves from ps3 (and i assume Xbox) to use as well, made the mistake of buying this game on steam (their version didn't work with windows 10) after buying the GOG version it worked fine, really glad they're keeping this fantastic game playable, I had a small problem with micro-stuttering but that was fixed by following a guide by Lurpsukka on the steamcommunity discussion page which suggested changing (IFPSClamp=0) to (IFPSClamp=60) and making sure (iPresentInterval=1) in the .ini file (don't include brackets)

I do not know who this will help or if it will help. But I tried everything I could find to get my game just to not crash loading it at all. I found that deleting the Fallout.ini in the My Documents -> My Games -> Fallout 3 made my game work. I do not know why but it did. I run Windows 10 with a Nvidia GForce GTX 1080 card and I have it set to ultra video settings. Also check and make sure that when you run launcher you set your screen resolution and if it still crashes set the Anisotropic Filtering from 15 Samples to 7 Samples which seemed to make it work fine. I have not gotten to play it yet which I did when it first came out and loved it then so I know what its about and its one I go back to and play many times and hope to continue to do so. I really hope this helps other people out.

Better than the Steam version. It even looks better and I don’t know how/why. On launched it Did warn me about incompatibility but so far on Windows 10 I haven’t crashed yet... Not after birth... Not after leaving the vault... Not after entering my new house. The game Does try and install GFWL on first launch... It can easily be stopped and rightly so. Kind of gutted about achievements. Unless they are in the game and I haven’t found them yet.

The game runs flawlessly in win 11. I am 50 hours in, have experienced maybe 5 CTDs, but other than that everything worked out of the box. Even alt-tabing works 8 out of 10 times. I had huge problems running it on steam, but decided to try it here, also, based on reviews. Absolutely recommended! Thanks again for this great release.

In short, the TTW mod "injects" Fallout 3 into Fallout New Vegas to make the two games function as one. You get to choose between FO3 and NV as a starting point, and you can even stop playing once you finish FO3. So why bother with the mod then? Well, because the TTW mod and its installation process will turn Fallout 3 into a modern day game in terms of performance: ABSOLUTE ZERO crashes, stutter, pop-in. Loading times are almost inexistent, and you'll get all the engine and gameplay improvements from New Vegas... both from the original game and from the New Vegas mods you might want to install afterwards. Fallout 3 is great, but without fixing things by yourself, it is like playing with a grenade without a pin. The GOG release makes it completely playable in modern computers, but you'll still have to deal with all the engine's inconsistencies and a ton of DIY fixing as you encounter annoyances. There are mods that somehow fix some of the horrible coding, but the development of those stopped a long time ago, while New Vegas fixing is still alive and kicking. With TTW, those fixes are transferred to Fallout 3, so there you go.
