This is now useless
new update, removed GFWL
Do it automatically
I made a program that will do all of the things it needs to do for you:

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/24710
or
https://github.com/thepwrtank18/Fallout3Fixer

If you want to do it manually, do the instructions below.


Do not use right now, currently broken
Bypassing the DRM (Modding!)
The following was taken from this review.

1. Copy the 'Fallout_default.ini' file from "Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3 goty" (or Fallout 3) and paste it in "Documents\My Games\Fallout3".

2. Rename "Fallout_default.ini" "Fallout.ini"

3. Download "Games for Windows LIVE Disabler" on Nexus Mods: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/1086.

4. Extract the executable file and run it in "Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3 goty" (or Fallout 3).

5. Play Fallout 3.
Embracing the DRM (Achievements!)
Warning: Mods that require FOSE will not work, as FOSE disables LIVE due to it's anti-cheat.

1. Download the Games for Windows Live client here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/24699

2. Install all of the files in here.

3. Open Fallout 3. Then, close it.

4. Download this registry file: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/24703

5. Run the file. You can check that it does nothing bad to your PC.

6. Open Fallout 3, then sign into your Microsoft Account.

7. This will take a while, around 10 minutes at worst. After that, enter in one of these product keys:
K3GM3-YP8T9-KDRY9-WPPC8-PDXHT
MRW6K-B9Y2R-YCTDP-93KYF-GRHRB

V6R92-VFKTP-PQR6Y-8R7GY-8JWFW
(Thank a popular piracy forum that I will not name for letting people who paid money actually..play the game)

8. It requires an update. Update it, then run Fallout 3 again.

9. Open Fallout 3, then sign into your Microsoft Account again.

10. You are done!

So I try to run the exe that I've extracted to Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3 goty and it tells me it can't find the Fallout.ini and that this is usually because I haven't run the game yet. Then I try to run the game and it doesn't launch because of the problem that this mod is designed to fix, so I can't do anything else. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

by default, it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3

if you have GOTY, it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3 goty
