Installation
For the main game:
- run ‘Fallout 3 – Assistent’ from the archive ‘Radioaktiv-3-Eng-Pat.zip’
- click ‘weiter’. You will patch Fallout 3 to english, although the installer states otherwise.
- again, click ‘weiter’
- choose your Fallout 3 directory and then click ‘weiter’
- click ‘patchen’
- now the program writes the english language data into your Fallout 3 installation, this can take a few minutes
- finally, you click ‘fertigstellen’ and thus finish the installation
For the DLC:
- run ‘Sprachpatch Assistent’ from every DLC patch
- the installation is as for the main game patch, patch times are shorter
Uncut Fix:
note: although the launcher is german, the game will still be english and now uncut.
- Extract the archive and rename ‘Fallout3ng.exe’ to ‘Fallout 3.exe’
- Replace all the Files in your Fallout 3 directory with the files from the archive:
- your now named ‘Fallout 3.exe’
- ‘Fallout3ng.exe.cat’
- ‘Fallout3ng.exe.cfg’
- ‘Fallout Launcher’ (not necessary, if you use the one from the archive, you’ll have the german one)
