Windows 10?

[Mono II]

Hi, does Fallout 3 run on Windows 10? Seeing reports of it not working on 11 but didn't see anything about Windows 10. Thanks!

Edit (if anyone cares): bought the GOTY edition on GOG because it was on sale...launched right away, no issues. Cheers to another lifetime of adventuring!

Non-Steam? You mean on GOG or Epic?

I have a DVD copy I bought at a local game store when GOTY came out.

I got 10 Home Edition. i7 8750 @2.20ghz w/16 gb ram. GPU is Nvidia 1060 & it runs for me.

A word of advice. After installing, when u launch the game to play it will bring up a sub-menu before booting the game. On the menu will be an option called data files. Click on it and u will see a list of the different DLC's involved with the game. Make sure BEFORE starting to have all of the DLC checked to load.

If u load the game 1st and play for awhile or beat it without the DLC and then try to enable it later it causes some kind of syncing error, which in turn causes the game to crash and freeze among other issues. Also when it is first downloaded several boxes from the data file list are not marked to run, so this issue more or less got alot of people frustrated as the only way to fix it normally is to completely delete ALL of the games files and re-install while making sure after it is re-installed to have all DLC running from the beginning.

That is not what I was asking about, but okay.

Dose anyone get the issue where after reaching the loading screen and hitting new it just crashes to desktop after the anniversary update? Because mine keeps doing that and I am not sure how to fix it.

P.S. I'm on windows 10
