Issues with DLC installation

Post » Sun Jun 26, 2011 3:57 am

Hi guys i'm Torekkuccio, that's my first post here, hope to get help so i will give it back in future :-)


I just bought Fallout 3 - Game of the year edition with all the 5 DLCs included.
The first CD is the game the second one the DLCs.
I installed the game and played if for 4-5 hours, everything went smooth.
Then i decided to install the second CD with DLCs.
The installation was ok but when i start the game it crashed immediatly.
When i run falloutupdater.exe appear a pop up and then i click on "data files" then i choose all the dlc and press ok --> start the game --> crash
i read around that i need the version 1.7 so i downloaded it, installed it and after the installation the game runs automatically but nothing has changed, always the same crash.

i have some question, where can i check the game version? have i to run the game with the CD2 or CD1? I didn't log in with windows live, is it a problem? where are my saves?? i didn't find them but i want save them to avoid to restart game after the disinstallation.
please help me, i'm rly disappointed, i spend 40€ for a game who doesn't install automatically......

Well after you install the second disc, you automatically have the latest version of the game. (1.7) Your saves are located in My Documents>My Games>Fallout 3>Saves,

Did you make sure to delete the Fallout.ini located in My Documents>My Games>Fallout3?

You shouldnt even need to uninstall. Try deleting the Fallout.ini first, see if the game launches.
