With Fallout 3, Bethesda Softworks successfully revived the old game series in 2008. However, PC players had to use the Games for Windows - Live service to play the RPG. A new update will finally remove this criticism - 13 years after the official release.

Fallout 3: Finally no Games for Windows - Live fork

With the revival of the Fallout brand Bethesda Softworks landed a real happier impact in 2008. The third part of the series modernized the gameplay, remained true to the setting and many strengths of the series.

But the game also had his weaknesses - especially on the PC. For who wanted to play Fallout 3 on the calculator, had to install the hated Games for Windows - Live service . The software allowed players to collect achievements and gamerscore while playing, but made problems for many PCs and ran everything but flawlessly.

In 2013, Microsoft then moved the ripper and introduced the development of the service. The problem: Some games continue to demand that Games for Windows - Live is installed on the computer to start at all - even Fallout 3 belongs.

Or rather, belonged. After the age of 13, a update has been published via Steam for the Goty version of the game , which finally picks up the Games for Windows - Live . After the patch, the game can also be started and played without the additional software (Source: Steam).
