Steam Fallout 3 won't start

Post » Fri May 13, 2011 9:15 am

Hey all

I've recently installed the Broken Steal DLC via Steam and then installed Fallout 3 from scratch.

When I play the game in Steam the pre-game menue appears (with graphics and data file settings) but when I click 'play' nothing happens. Weirdly, my Steam status goes from in-game to not in-game.

The game has worked fine on this PC before. It's a Windows XP, if that matters.

Has anyone had this problem or heard about it?

Any help would be great. I just want to get a Sneak Attack Critical on the Overseer again! :sadvaultboy:

Thanks

Click the button that say Data Files when you open it via steam and not the source and then click the DLC you want to load then launch. If you open the game from the source all the time you won't open the DLC. After you do that just wait a bit in-game and a message will pop up saying " has been loaded". add me ethanthe12
