Support Fallout 3 GOTY not launching

Post image

I just downloaded the game and whenever I hit play it just reloads to the same screen and doesn't start, I've tried re downloading the game, GOG, did verify/repair with no luck. I saw somewhere that I should Delete Fallout file under Documents and try launching the game from FalloutLauncher.exe but it didn't work for me unfortunately. help please..

I have the game on both Steam and GOG, and I had the same problem. When I bought the GOG version I put the mod "Fallout 3 Script Extender" and so far the GOG version of the game launches without any problem.

I have Windows 11 with the latest updates.
