==== Compatible Versions ==== | ==== Compatible Versions ==== | ||
* | * FOSE v1 (Stable) supports the DVD and Steam version patched to 1.1.0.35. | ||
* | * FOSE v1.1 (Beta 2) supports the DVD and Steam version patched to 1.0.0.15, 1.1.0.35, and 1.0.4.6. | ||
:'''Note:''' in order for FOSE to work properly with 1.0.0.15, a specialized dll file needs to be placed in the Fallout 3 directory. It can be downloaded [http://fose.silverlock.org/beta/fose_v1_1_beta2_10015.zip here]. | |||
==== Incompatible Versions ==== | ==== Incompatible Versions ==== | ||
* | * FOSE is not compatible with the original, unpatched DVD or Steam version. | ||
* | * FOSE is not compatible with the Direct2Drive (D2D) or the Russian version of Fallout 3 protected by StarForce. FOSE will never be compatible with these versions, as they are encrypted and it would be illegal to break the encryption. | ||
* | * FOSE is currently incompatible with Windows Live, so when running via fose_loader.exe, Live will be disabled. It appears that Live periodically checks the cryptographic signature of the Fallout runtime. If the signature doesn't validate properly, Live fails. Because of this, it is unlikely that FOSE will be directly compatible with Live in the foreseeable future. However, by loading Fallout3.exe instead of fose_loader.exe, you can still download DLC and updates through Live. | ||
:'''Note:''' since Live stores save files in a separate folder when active, users will need to move their save games from their user profile folder in the '''My Documents''' folder to the main '''Saves''' folder in order to access them. | |||
* FOSE currently does not support the Austria/Germany versions of 1.4.0.6. If you are using Steam, make sure to temporarily disable auto-update on Fallout. | |||
