Hello, I bought the game fallout 3 here on GOG as I heard it works unlike its counterpart on steam. However, I still cannot get the game to launch. It does not give me an error message it just crashes right as it starts to load. I have tried changing the combability mode, running as administrator and I few other small things that I cannot remember. I have good enough specs, 16 gb of ram, 1050 geforce, m.2 SSD. My operating system is windows 10 64 bit. Any advice of things that I can try?

Thanks. I don't know if installing GFWL before I downloaded FO3 had anything to do with the GOG version, but the game started fine, and I found that they already throttled the cores for me. I couldn't get GFWL or FO3 to launch from Steam, so now I'm happy. Glad to give some love to GOG for their work, too!
