Fallout 3 GOTY (PC) (minor issues solved)

Fallout 3 GOTY (PC)

I've been waiting a while for this one and finally got it.

I encountered two issue. If you buy this game and have Vista, read on. I don't know if XP users are affected.

First:

The second disk wich has the DLC file will take forever to open. My solution was to copy that 2GB file on my hard drive and open from there. Faster this way.

Secondly:

When you start the game for the first time, after apply your video settings, you'll want to click on "play" to continue. You may get a error that says "blah, blah 5360 blah, blah"

Just download and install the latest "Game for Windows Live" here.

Everything looks ok from there. Time to have some fun now.

for awhile i had horriable problems with FO3 with vista. I than sold my i7 and downgraded to a PII x3 and sold my 4870x2 and got a XFX 4850 1gb and i never had a problem again. weird that the Highend stuff does not work than i downgrade and it runs 30 times better with vista. I actually just finished the game not too long ago.

Maybe you were having Crossfire issues?
