Fallout 3: Operation Anchorage

[Mr.Fedo]

I walked for about 10 minutes but I didn't get the radio signal :S is there a 1.7 patch? maybe 1.6 is not the latest patch

See http://dlh.net/cgi-bin/dp.cgi?lang=e...arch=fallout+3

[Mr.Fedo]

then the 1.6 is the latest patch, so why can't I get the signal?

that might help, other people claim they got the signal when they were OUTDOORS only, and others claim you 100% need to install the patch, otherwise the signal ever happens, seems quite a mess to be honest...

so, check you installed the patch correctly - right click the fallout3.exe, select properties, look at the detals, file version should be 1.6.0.3

then check anchorage is definately checked in the data files

might also be an idea to check that vista thing too, as you haven't mentioned if your copy is from steam, retail etc...

[Mr.Fedo]

OMG!! the file version of Fallout3.exe is 1.0.0.12 and the version of the launcher is 1.2.14.0, but I'm sure that I installed the patch! see these screen shots ...

[Mr.Fedo]

I found the place! but I didn't get the radio signal, anyway while I was helping defeating the mutants I found a new problem, take a look at this ...

[Mr.Fedo]

why is that exclamation mark there? there is no where I can go and I can't use button

[TippeX]

i think you might be best reinstalling it... something is definately messed up, but at least we're making progress...

[Mr.Fedo]

It worked! thanks for your help but there is another problem, I finished operation anchorage and I want to play the pitt but I can't check anchorage.esm or thepitt.esm in the data files, when I check any of them and exit the launcher they get back unchecked I don't know why. so what should I do?

[TippeX]

hmm that sounds quite strange, first thing i'd do is do a virus scan, are you using the cracked launcher? are you loading any other mods that aren't from bethesda? (if so, uncheck them). might also be an idea to run a checkdisk on your drive, right click it in explorer, select properties, go to tools, select 'error checking' and have it check the drive.. also select it to fix any errors it finds... and again, if it finds anything (virus or disk error), then you might have to reinstall again, install patch etc.. something's definately messing with your system, and its hard to tell whether its virus / trojan or defective hard disk...

[Mr.Fedo]

It worked!! I re-installed the game and used the cracked launcher and it just worked!! I really appreciate your help guys VERY MUCH and thank you TippeX for everything
