I've bought the game and I can confirm that, unlike the steam version, this worked right after the installation, without doing any tweaks to make it work. it also runs smoothier than the steam version but the only issue i've found is that the game often freezes like for 10 secs then starts working again for like 30 mins straight and then it frezees again. Any idea on how to fix this?

Yeah it's clearly beyond the requirements, do you use mods ?

Nope, i do not have any mods
Do you think there's a way to fix this or should I keep playing this way?

as of oct 13, 2021 fallout 3 has ben updated on steam (Fallout 3: Game of the Year - Update 1.7.0.4)
it's on weekend deal, so pick it up here https://store.steampowered.com/app/22300/Fallout_3/

Steam post;

"Fallout 3 has been updated and no longer installs Games for Windows Live dependencies. If Fallout 3 was previously installed on Steam, we suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the title."

The title no longer requires Games for Windows Live and will now launch.

Update Version: 1.7.0.4

Fixes
+Games for Windows Live dependency was removed.
+Improvements to stability and performance.

the only downside so far, is that the update broke FOSE (from what i've heard), so don't expect any mods to work with that version AS OF NOW

but if the gog version is already working then your fine
here's hoping new vegas will get the same treatment
