How do you feel about Bethesda neglecting Fallout 3 for so long? Were you there during the years GFWL was still alive and kicking? Tell us your thoughts. PSA: Be sure to download the patch at your own discretion, if you’ve modded your game to hell it’s probably going to mess something up. The easiest way was to mod them out, but there are plenty more convoluted and virus-ridden ways to try. Well, it begs the question, how did people remove it before it was officially taken out? To put it simply, it’s an ordeal. Now we come to the curious case of Fallout 3įor some profound reason, Bethesda forgot about their post-apocalyptic baby for an astounding 5 whole years after the service shut down, and has only removed the GFWL dependencies recently.
Most companies saw that and ripped that stuff out immediately when the game service died. And yeah, Fallout 3 is still busted on modern versions of Windows. I do see someone on the Steam forums saying they can no longer access the DLC they bought. Regardless of how much the service interacted with the games themselves, with the dependencies, there was a big GFWL-shaped hole there that needed to be filled for the game to function normally. Removing GFWL from the non-GotY edition might also be a problem, considering the expansions were originally sold through GFWL. GFWL was basically a glorified UI add-on that let you get Xbox achievements and social features on PC. The way GFWL worked was by having the developers of implement dependencies for the game service into the individual games and having them work together. No one liked it and it went horribly, eventually shutting down in 2014. Its goal was to try and emulate the Xbox experience onto PCs. A few of you Xbox or PC gamers may remember a little game service called “Games For Windows Live (GFWL)” quite a few years back, like over a decade or so.
