    Hello again,

    As you know, the Fallout 3 installer does MANY nasty things to your system. For example, installing a not working Games for Windows Live client and installs a beta version of NET. Framework. I don't want to give this scheiße... sorry xD to my alien. Do you guys or girls know a solution to stop the installer from installing Framework and GFWL? If not, give me a tips on how to make it playable after the installation, I can't even launch it with the bloody beta of Framework or the dumb GFWL client.

    Thanks :D

    EDIT: Fallout New Vegas works fine though since it's not installing that much crap.

    Bumping this with an update.

    I installed the game and I reinstalled Framework and GFWL and it works. But now I also have problems whitelisting fallout3.exe, it only allows me to whitelist fallout3launcher.exe. If this is a common problem, please help me, if not, I'll post the problem in the thread.

    Well I am curious to know what drivers you are working with. I don't have to whitelist Fallout3.exe to run. I am using the newest beta drivers 270.xx. I also have the ini hacked to run the multi cores which was the main problem for fallout 3 and this laptop laptop.
