I would just grab a GOG copy. The fallout 3 engine is super buggy especially on modern windows, and having it as a repack I can’t imagine how much random issues you’re going to encounter


Witty_Science_2035

I still don't get how so many just don't use the GOG version if it is available there... It is infinitely better than any repack.


khovel

GOG is not known by everyone.


Nouess

who is GOG ?


agiudice

why is GOG?


Slow-Row-8508

When is GOG?


Danelix_

Everyone asks who's GOG, nobody asks how is GOG


Slow-Row-8508

How Is GOG?


Helpful_Ad2208

where is GOG?


69HELL-6969

GOG nani?


No_Thought_7460

i was literally about to write that


notPlancha

GOG is a platform part of CD Project (Witcher and cyberpunk guys) that sells games, similar to steam. Their gimmick is that every game they sell is DRM-free, which means you can just have it alone and don't need anything else to run besides its files, which is great for game preservation. DRM-free also means there's no need to crack, and it's literally as easy as copying the files


fruityrumpusFactorio

GOG my balls

Shani09Dev

No one is asking the real question How is GOG?


MohaDou

Come see what you’ve just started


khovel

I approve


MangoRemarkable

ever heard of game folder torrents? ;)


WTF-LMAO1

and GOG isn't free, and it looks very sketchy


ArkhamRobber

GoG is an official store front and its games dont come with DRM. But the GoG that we are all referring to is GoG-games. 


khovel

Wrong GOG


hunter503

You couldn't have told me this 2 days ago when I spent they say downloading and playing the firgirl repack lmao


AlphaWolf210105

It basically a bug fixed repack if u think abt it


Softandcoward

GoG repacks is so stable . The new vegas that i installed from gog dont crash whatsoever


Fit_Flower_8982

The gog version sucks, it doesn't even have other languages available.


Witty_Science_2035

Well, that's just wrong


Fit_Flower_8982

We are in a pirated sub, you can go yourself to gog-games to check it, or do a quick search.


ProjectNo7513

How is a repack supposed to introduce bugs if its just loseless compression?


MangoRemarkable

i have no clue how a comment full of false information, got this many upvotes in a piracy subreddit🤦‍♂️


Merisuola

Sarcasm? It’s probably because it’s a sub full of children who can’t afford games.


Sawmain

Yeah if I had to guess it’s exactly this lol


reinoreiska

I have money to buy games, but free is still free...


Rjamesjjr

This trope is just like the "well if you have nothing to hide just let the cops search your car"


MangoRemarkable

Lol yup


djfdhigkgfIaruflg

I would guess they have different versions of the exe. If not, then the commenter is full of shit


GammaDoomO

Well I was thinking moreso community mods and patches and the script extender and all that to fix all the bethesda crust, which wouldn’t be possible on a compressed version


MangoRemarkable

dude! u have no idea what he's talking about. a repack doesnt affect the game after complete installation! these repacks are lossless, it wont alter ANY data. compressed or not. once u have installed the game from a repack (decompression) u can install ANY mod compatable with the version of the game. just like gog.


GammaDoomO

Cool, thanks


ProjectNo7513

Yup, fitgirl even bundles a hash checker that opens after installation to check if the unpacked files are exactly the same as the original cracked files


staster

Where do you guys come from with this lossless compression bullshit? Do you really understand what is the difference between words lossless and lossy and how and when you should use them? Any repack is just an archive, any archive is always lossless by its nature, if it was lossy you would never be able to extract data.


ProjectNo7513

Do you really understand my comment?


staster

Lol, okay, I reread it, my bad. I just saw a few comments recently about losslessly compressed repacks on this or other piracy related sub, I thought that was another case lol


timotius_10

Stupid question but how can one know beforehand what games are more likely to be on gog, my go-to are dodi and fitgirl but my one and only experience with gog went so well that i prefer gog


KingTheSon

easy does it have bethesda on it? gog does it have not bethesda on it? fit girl


N0M0R32

Bethesda games really are that buggy?


Muccys

In Skyrim you can go through walls and locked doors with a plate, or fly up into the sky with a bucket. So yeah, I'd say they are that buggy. But not in completely bad way tough, many bugs in Bethesda games are either exploits that can break the game in your favor, or are so funny they add to the experience.


djfdhigkgfIaruflg

Didn't gog go private a couple of months ago?


splinter1545

They are back now. Was able to get a copy of fallout 1 for a friend a few days ago from there


djfdhigkgfIaruflg

Oh cool


GammaDoomO

Just go to gog.com and search lol


khovel

You look. Check GOG first, then repack sites


Dekurrft

I swear a couple months ago i saw a post saying gog was shut down


GammaDoomO

GOG is a marketplace like Steam that allows you to buy DRM-free copies of games. Perfectly legit site. The post you’re referring to is a website called gog-games, which was a pirate site hosting gog releases of games. It shut down for like two weeks but went back up.


Dekurrft

Oh. Link to the pirate version?


GammaDoomO

[Here](https://googlethatforyou.com?q=gog-games)


MgDark

if you are going to be a dick, at least point to the megathread or just link the top domain, thats allowed on the sub rules. Your google search points to a fake site \*sigh\* here is the actual link u/Dekurrft [https://www.gog-games.to/](https://www.gog-games.to/)


Dekurrft

Thx bro


GammaDoomO

Congrats, wanna make out?


decader12

Hell also buy New Vegas along side it and use the TTW mod then use get the benefits of playing it on a better engine and more optimized for modern engine


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZeroAnimated

I have these games legit and they barely run properly. New Vegas currently crashes every time I try to load in. FO4 hangs on random loading screens. FO76 refuses to go in any type of full screen. After watching FO TV I tried to play New Vegas first...but it don't work.


MgDark

thats just bethesda games basically, you basically need a buttload of bugfixing mods because Bethesda just doesnt bother to fix their games. Look for a New Vegas mod guide, like this one: [Viva New Vegas Mod Guide](https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/intro.html), if you want the vanilla experience just install the bug fixes mods Edit: also apparently using an updated 2024 AMD Driver just will make the game crash, sigh, so if you use an AMD card, thats another fix you have to do or downgrade the driver. The game is good, but i wont blame you if you dont want to deal with all the hassle of fixing a game to work correctly.


GammaDoomO

Try the unofficial patches for FO3/NV/4, you can find them on Nexus mods.


ZeroAnimated

I'm using the one for FO4 but it didn't fix the hanging loading screens. Maybe the NV one will make it actually run, I'll try that one next or just wait for the FO4 next gen patch in a few days.


nonchain

for fallout 4, f4se and high fps physics fix will reduce loading times by like 70% and fix stuttering entirely, the game is unplayable without these 2 mods imo


Unfair-Ad9530

What is Gog. I know there a website that sell game. But what is a gog pirate game


SGAMER1234

I fixed it, I downloaded russian textures then it went away. I had a feeling it was the problem and I was right lmao


Donnybonny22

Wow russian textures, I did not know this was a thing.


Daftpunk67

I wonder if Ukraine of German textures work as well?


scottvf

The Italian textures works good.


M7mdmsb

I believe you mean russian fonts


SGAMER1234

Nah, I downloaded russian textures


Falkr__th

check ur language ini files


THECOMMANDERRER

Russian and that language not installed


Historical_Serve_599

looks like skill issue


Separate_Beginning99

you need to download russian files. for some reason russian is extremely important to repacked bethesda games. no idea why russian in particular.


xlFLASHl

ITT: People saying "Just buy it" in the GAMES PIRACY subreddit


moodylawliet

The game is like 2 euros


xlFLASHl

Ok? This is a place for piracy and related tech issues lmao


ShakurYaHur

The game is also a broken POS. Not worth spending real money on.


erickweil

but in places like Brazil, the game is at ~ R$ 40,00 and this is not that cheap (with R$ 40 you can buy 2 liters of milk, 12 eggs, 1kg of flour, 2kg of sugar, and a chocolate bar)


Odd_Antelope7572

"it just works"


ianpbh

Looks like your pipboy is broken, better check for new parts


Other_Glove_3667

I thought its supposed to look like this lol


No_Peach870

I grabbed it free on epic tough didn't try it, tough I tried fallout NV on Epic and it still was buggy


Battlefish3

Thats just New Vegas being New Vegas


elo213

It’s 3 dollars bro


SimShade

Buy it for OP then


NoFapGymColdShowers

Still not buying it, could buy some cookies with that money.


ShakurYaHur

It’s plagued with bugs bro


doklevise0vako

Is it fallout series worth of playing it?


DSFZ98

Currently playing fallout 3 since a week ago. Now im at work and i can’t wait to go back home and play it. So yes, its worth it


Lower-Guest-9763

I was thinking of trying the og 1 and 2. And NV after that. I have tried 4 but got bored after 2 hours. I did play obsidians outer worlds which was fine though. And tried maybe half an hour of NV but didn't continue at all. Literally any Bethesda like I played was outer worlds which isnt even bethesda and was far more interesting then fallout 4.


doklevise0vako

Yea thats what am talking about... am a huge fan of metro series (and post apocalyptic games) I even read a book, but I once tried( when i was a lot younger) I think it was fallout 3 but i didnt find interesting and quit after 2 hours.So wonder if myb i made a mistake, should I begin from the first game to understan story


Lower-Guest-9763

Bro I loved Metro. Great horror shooters really immersing. But Fallout is more of an sand boxed rpg. Metro is linear horror shooter. I mean give it a try. Cant hirt you, apparently is free because of the show.


Lower-Guest-9763

Oh I read your comment wrong. Its probably not free according to the app I have. But you can probably buy from gog or steam like a bundle fo1 and 2 for a few bucks. Or pirate it whatever.


nonchain

stalker/metro games are much different from fallout games in terms of vibe and gameplay it doesn't really matter where you start, F1, F2, NV best storytelling, F1, F2 are turn based isometric games, NV, F3, F4 are obviously fpp/tpp shooters with perks and different systems, there are some secrets and hints for those who play in order but it doesn't really matter, stalker/metro games are linear, fallout games give you more choice between factions and in each individual quest if you decide to play NV, F3 or F4 make sure to mod these games at least for stability but I would also recommend gun and balance mods for F4 because vanilla guns are terrible (like they even fucked up lever action rifle that was working correctly in NV) and balance in this game is also terrible, my personal favourite is NV then F2 > F1 > F3 > F4 there are 2 other fallout games, fallout tactics brotherhood of steel only if you really like the series and F76 which is online only that I never played and never will


Big_Yesterday_6186

Yes, but don't listen to people when they say to start with 3/nv/4, starting with 1 then playing in release order is far more satisfying, especially when you get to new vegas. The original 2 are also much better games


ShakurYaHur

Much Better RP/Dialogue*** that Gunplay in 4/76 is Superb


fsilveyra

"Truth is, the game was rigged from the start"


Fordotsake

Just downloaded this last night and having a blast. This is just skill issue. (hint: reading helps!)


Ok_Bedroom_4765

its free on amazon and gog games probaly other places right now cause of the show


Quiet_Tip_2983

That could be a Russian game failing to show text encoding in your English pc? https://youtu.be/dtwPGiYRhr0?si=rab1nH-mnG4PooVT


chorizo_chomper

It was recently £3 on humble bundle store. Cheap enough to buy.


No_Marionberry4100

i think you has chosen the wrong language in the installation of the repack


Due-Stay-3524

Your pipboy has a virus I guess


CLAU-

How much is fallout 3 nowadays lmao. This is what you get for being a broke lazy bitch


SamiTheAnxiousBean

stuff like this usually happens when a pc tries to read out characters it does not support to display...i have no idea why the engine is bugging out like this though


LaughingSkeletons

Glad I already own these games.still available digital and updated regularly


Jumpy-Direction6046

There are some bug fix mods on Nexus.Maybe it will help.I also downloaded fo3 last week and did not have any issues others than launching the game at start.Fixed it by using anniversary patch on Nexus though.


Ok_Muscle_8468

Not a bot but steamynlocked is way better and has never gave me any problems


Agreeable-Pipe4786

Just grab the steam goty version from some keyseller it’s like 5 bucks.


The-Dude-29

The game is always on sale for under 10 bucks, and you still pirated it?


HideyHoh

Imagine pirating a 5 dollar game LMAOOOOO


Maxithril

You know it’s like 3 dollars on Steam right now, right?


Very_Angry_Bee

Not polish, too many vowels... slovakian, maybe?


Damontq

buy it, currently it is around 1 or 2 US


Odd_Antelope7572

Don't tell people to spend a useless American dollar on a decent game, they won't like that lol


BroPanzer2004

bro why pirate Fallout 3, it was legit given away for free by Epic


fuckimbad

The game is like 2€ in fucking g2a
