Select Properties > Security > Edit > and give your username all permissions. Right-click the Fallout3 folder here - C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Fallout3. If the game still doesn't work, try running it in windowed mode (thanks superdeadlog) (If you're using Steam, run it as an administrator as well). Select Properties > Security > Edit > and give your username all permissions.Īpply the two steps above to the main executable file (Fallout3.exe), located in the same folder. Check the option to run it in Windows XP (Service Pack 3), and apply those settings.
Located here - C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3. Locate the game launcher (FalloutLauncher.exe). Feel free to create your own thread if none of these solve the issue. If you know of a solution which has not been listed here, contributions are much appreciated! :) If one does work for you, a confirmation comment with the specific fix would be great. Due to the many incompatibility issues with Fallout 3 on Windows 7 (Bethesda, y u no release official fix?) this thread will update with a list of possible fixes.
