If it does not, and instead causes the program to freeze or crash, you need to install/update Games for Windows Live (GFWL). If it does, you can safely exit the game straight away. Then click 'Play' in the launcher, it should open the game. Keep in mind for later that opening the launcher and editing options, or running the game through the launcher, may reset your ini files, reverting any changes you make to them. Going into the 'Options' menu in the launcher also generated the ini files for the game, which we will be editing shortly. Then go into the launcher 'Options' and set your graphics settings, ensure that you have enabled 'Windowed' mode and disabled 'V-sync'. Instead go into the root game directory (where you installed Fallout 3, as discussed earlier) and open the FalloutLauncher.exe, this will open the launcher for the game. Once the game has installed it should place a Fallout 3 shortcut on your desktop, you can delete it now if you like, as you will never use it. For those using Steam you will find it under \Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3. I installed mine, for example, in D:\Games\Fallout 3, this is what I will refer to as the main/root Fallout 3 directory. Remember, this game was released and popular when Windows XP was still the hottest kid in the vault. This is because the game is old, and not optimised for Windows Vista/7/8/10. If you are installing a non-Steam game, you will want to ensure that you do not install the game to the default location it selects (usually something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Fallout 3). Let's begin with installation, most of you will be installing the game via Steam, but installing a non-Steam version of the game works fine too.
