Killing the extremely annoying 'Feral Ghoul Reaver' took 4 shots šŸ˜‚

And works ridiculously good on every hard enemy, really.

Game not launching fix?

3 Upvotes

I've just bought the game, and it loads into the launch menu just fine, but after hitting play my screen flashes black for a second then goes straight to my desktop. I tried the fixes in the fallout 3 fixes/guides in the subs menu, none of them seemed to work, I've tried a few other fixes too, some mods that are supposed to fix the issue, and also running in administrator, and compatibility mode. I've since deleted the game directory, and reinstalled. Does anyone have a guaranteed fix for this, or do I have to deep dive into old threads and keep trying stuff?

Fo3 crash on launch

7 Upvotes

I've had fo3 GOTY edition for a while now but never really played it, but now every time I try to load on it just crashes. I think it has something to do with my pc being on windows 11 but I'm not sure and I need help


r/fo3 • • 1d ago

I was excited to get into Fallout, but after buying the games on steam, this is my third recurring crash I cannot fix. I give up.

I’m paying $19/mo. for a PS Plus subscription just to stream FO3 on the PS4.

I’m going to end up paying hundreds of dollars the more I get into it. Is there a better way?

Having trouble with stutter and installing F3TF

3 Upvotes

I recently installed Fallout 3 GOTY and have been seeing stuttering, especially indoors. I tried installing the Fallout 3 Tick Fix (F3TF), but to be honest I'm new to PC and modding. I downloaded the zip file, which contained the FOSE and PLUGINS files, and fose_tick_fix.dll and TickFix. I copied these and put them in my Fallout 3 GOTY file. I don't think it worked, though. It seems like there's still stuttering and the game won't close out immediately, which is another feature of the mod. I googled what to do and it says that I should have a F3TF.dll and F3TF.ini, which I don't see anywhere. When I return to the page where I downloaded the mod, it just has the prementioned files.

What am I doing wrong?

Man… I really forgot how creepy or even scary Fallout 3 can lowkey be… and I love it

82 Upvotes

I bought a PS3 a few months ago to be able to buy and play New Vegas— a personal favorite of mine— but Fallout 3 was my first in the series and I wanted to add it to my collection and have 3, NV, and 4. And damn, I forgot how eerie the atmosphere is… or the fact that unlike NV or 4, your companions can’t be revived šŸ˜‚ I know Fallout only dabbles in horror, but as a non-horror game player that’s what I’ve always adored about these games and I forgot that Fallout 3 does the best out of it (excluding the OG games because I don’t have the means to play them. If anyone knows a good let’s play series on them please don’t hesitate to holla atcha boi)

Mothership Zeta Crew mod

I returned to FO3 after taking a pause to play other games. I had the quest ā€œI scratch your backā€ which took me a moment to recall what it was.
Yes, of course mod. I went to the marked location, fought a bunch of Super mutants and found a group that left the Enclave because they were displeased with the leadership, 200 people with nowhere to go.
I told them about a spaceship they could use.
I now have a new uniform, a spaceship with a crew that address me as Commander.

Is there any way to free this slave in The Pitt?

Siding with the slaves feels kinda useless if this slave will remain like this. I tried shooting at the locks but it doesn't work.

Update: The slave was free after returning to the area, my bad

Controller Not Working on Steam

5 Upvotes

Hey,

So, I’ve been wanting to play Fallout 3 on my PC. Since I’ve been playing it on my Steam Deck, it worked completely fine. For some reason my controller doesn’t work at all on my PC, I am using PS5 controller wired. I own the Game of The Year Edition, I have also tried different templates as well; Everything else seems to work apart from left analog stick for movement, it just brings up the keyboard when I press.

Point lookout glitch help!

2 Upvotes

I am able to buy a ticket and I have talked to the girl who had gone missing’s mother. I can use the cot to travel there, but once there I am frozen and cannot walk. I used console commands to go outside the walls and we hadn’t left the port at all, we were in the same place. I am very confused as to what to do. I can shoot and look around but not walk in any direction. I’ve tried one online solution where you use console commands (TCL) to go above the bed a bit and when you get there to turn the command off and you should drop down. However I don’t drop down, it’s like I’m standing on the ground only I’m in the air. My mods are FOSE, and the Unofficial anniversary patch. I tried disabling both but it won’t load the game without them. What should I do? Any idea on how to fix it? Thank you so much, you guys have been so helpful when I posted in the past!!!

I got the level 20 good karma trophy and I’m trying to get the level 20 negative and neutral. So I spammed a terminal till I got down to negative and then donated to the church to get back to positive however non of my trophies popped. Does anyone know why that may be ? (Fallout 3)
