Edit: Seems my question was too long and it was cut off. Below is my whole question.

"So both Fallout 3 and New Vegas are specially GOG-patched? Both with LAA and .ini edits, anti-stutter? No crashing or unstable framerates?"

End Edit

In the title are the only questions I need answered before I decided to plop down some bottle caps and buy them. As long as there are absolutely no problems running/playing them, I'm down to grab them. I heard there were far less problems with the GOG versions and that they run far better when playing them.

I own them both on Steam already, but even with .ini edits and other tweaks they don't play as stable and crash-free as I'd like. (I wish these were GOG connect-enabled.)

I can max both games on Ultra, by the way, so specs aren't a problem for me, nor was it the reason I suffered crashes and unstable framerates despite tweaks/attempted fixes. I am on Windows 7 Ultimate, for the record.

Themken: GOG only did a few fixes but most likely you will need more than that. They also were such that you can do them yourself if you are technically inclined. I keep reading recommendations for installing more fixes and fan patches that what already has been appolied by GOG but this is normal for Bethesda games. So, if you like, you can patch and tweak your Steam copies and get them playable.

Maybe the GOG version have had the GfWL disabled in a manner that you could not do yourself but that is circumventable or you can live with having GfWL installed, maybe a fake version.

carinth01: Hi,

The GOG versions are LAA enabled, but you still need to do the Multicore, threading ini fixes to stabilize the game.
