The Geck zip file : Fallout 3

» Fri May 27, 2011 9:46 pm

After I downloaded The Geck from the fallout 3 homepage. The downloaded file is a zipped file and when I double click on the zip file, I get a message saying " The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted "
Iv, tried downloading it agen and I still get the same problem. Any help would be great!!!

Do I need fallout 3 on PC for the geck to work? If so, why is it not on xbox 360...

1. Get the GECK from Fallout3Nexus.com
2. Yes you need Fallout for PC
3. Because Microsoft doesn't allow user mods, and the 360 is a weak machine that can't run the GECK even if you could get it on there.

Its not Microsoft so much. You needlessly blaming them for trying to run a successful business. They don't allow user made content because they don't want to have to deal with people getting viruses or something on their 360, making Microsoft spend more on tech support. And, like I said, the GECK can not run on the 360 because the 360 is too weak. It only has 512MB of ram, period, and the GECK requires about 550MB minimum just to run. It can shoot up to over 2GB when trying to generate lanscapes.

So Echo, you find truth in the posters original statment about Bethesda, G.E.C.K., an MS X-Box 360?

Try this direct link:

It works for me :shrug:

I use 7zip

However, like bigcrazewolf pointed out, it's not allowed to discuss xbox modding on this forum.

Regardless of whether or not the GECK or a GECK-like app could run on the Xbox, it's a closed proprietary system and MS decides what programs can and can't be run on their box.
