I'm using Windows Game Pass recently because I got a free trial with the purchase of a new computer. I've tried lots of different games and had a lot of fun with them. Then I decided to give Fallout 3 GOTY edition to try it. I have installed it 4 different times on 2 different drives and always does the same thing. I launch it from the Xbox App or desktop icon. The Fallout 3 launcher comes up and I can change setting and all but as soon as I press Play it does nothing. The instance in Task manager just disappears and it's like I never started it. Anyone have any solution that isn't try from another gaming service? Remember I'm using Game Pass because it's free for me right now.

Yeah, I would get Microsoft for this. It could be a random compatibility issue as well.

after a bit of research, the game pass version of fallout 3 is a complete waste of time, and it'd be better to just get the steam/gog version. biggest reasons being you can't install some of the most essential mods to make the game functional

fallout 3 is historically an extremely broken game when you play without mods

Make sure you disable antivirus or antimalware if possible. I had problems launching games with Malwarebytes running its active scan.

    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".

    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
