No Fallout 3.ini File windows 10 issue 2020

[xxxtonnerre]

so this is annoying as everyone knows fallout 3 is a pain in the a55 to get running on windows 10 in 2020 so I've made several posts people have tried helping but unfortunately I'm missing the fallout.ini file with all the information in it.

go to the fallout 3 game folder, copy fallout_default.ini and paste it into the 'documents/my games/fallout 3' folder and rename to fallout.ini ... you may want to check the redist folder and run the directx setup and the vcredists_x86.exe too, windows 10 does not install older directx via windows updates.

[xxxtonnerre]

it still doesn't work

[xxxtonnerre]

so what do i do download direct x?

[Xenophobe]

there's a redists folder in the game directory that has the directx version and the vcredist_x86 version used by the game.

still doesn't work wth this is irritating i have the mods downloaded correctly

So I assume your game doesn't launch at all therefore it can't create the .ini file. If you have Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch installed and the game still doesn't launch, try using the separate GFWL disabler that is linked in the pinned thread. Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch should disable GFWL but for some reason it didn't for me, so I used the disabler and the game launched.

[xxxtonnerre]

wait so just disable GFWL disabler?

[Xenophobe]

it would be easier for those of us that try to help if you post in one thread instead of multiple threads ... then 59 FPS would know you tried the GFWL disabler in a different thread.

[Xenophobe]

well, it runs fine for me and many many others, I've tried to walk you through what worked for me, but your attitude just put me off. I wish you luck.

Goodluck!

P.S. if it does work, on the pre load up menu you need to go to data file and enable the dlc manually.
