* '''Games for Windows Live (GFWL):''' when running Fallout 3 via fose_loader.exe, Live will be disabled automatically. 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.
* '''Games for Windows Live (GFWL):''' when running Fallout 3 via fose_loader.exe, GWFL will be disabled automatically. GWFL functions as an anti-cheat mechanism, so it disables itself if it detects any in-memory modifications to the executable, despite the fact that Fallout has no multiplayer component. Since GWFL cannot tell the difference between the modifications we make and the modifications a cheating program would make, we will probably never be directly compatible. To download DLC and updates, simply launch Fallout normally.
** '''A note on DLC:''' by loading Fallout3.exe instead of fose_loader.exe, you can still download DLC and updates through Live. If you have DLC, you will need to move the DLC files into the Data directory located in the Fallout 3 installation folder.

** '''A note on saved games:''' 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.
