How to patch Fallout 3 to 1.7? I.e. Windows live error

Post » Sun Nov 23, 2014 9:04 am

Hi all. I have bought the dvd version of the game back when it came out, and now I wanted to play it again. Problem is that since its the old version, it needs to be patched, but Games for Windows live is afaik down. Hence I am not sure how to do it.

I downloaded the 1.7 patch and tried to install it, (from bethestas own site, not 3rd party) and it gave me the famous error, that the dll was missing. Anyways, I could not play the game anymore, so I reinstalled it. Now I can play again, but it is the unpatched version.

How do I patch it now that this game is no longer bound to the Games for windows live?

Cheers all.
