This is the second game I've bought that doesn't seem to want to work. Fallout 3 on Microsoft Surface 3 pro. I get the initial menu, select new game, and then the window vanishes. I've tried different video settings, and compatibility settings.

Thoughts?
My guess is it won't run on a tablet with the integrated graphics

Man, that is disappointing. I was looking forward to it. C'est la vie, n'est pas?
You can trick Fallout 3 into thinking you have an
external graphics card.

I haven't tried it on the GOG version
Your milelage may very...

Heres the link:

"....use this bypass pack to set up your fallout 3 game files to play on an intel graphics card.
follow the readme in the package to alter your game to get rid of all of those compatability errors by adding a few files to your fallout directory.

This workaround IS TESTED and i actually use this every time i play fallout. if it isnt working for you, feel free to comment and i will try to deduce the problem. I have released a detailed video tutorial to follow.

It's been almost two years since I posted this, and I can't say I'm surprised that it exploded as much as it did. I originally compiled this for my own use, as a one-stop-shop fix to the Intel Graphics issue, and only later passed it on to you all. Regardless of my intention, I'm glad I could help so many of you, nearly 40,000 total downloads, with the only complaints being from those who had made a mistake in the process. In conclusion, Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games of all-time, and I'm glad that now you all get to enjoy it with me....."

Cheers Sam. Thanks mate. I'll try it out.
DID you bother to check the GOG forum dedicated exclusively to the Fallout games/ You are much more likelty to find an answer there...
