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)

Conclusion

If everything worked right, you have made your german cut Fallout 3 into the english uncut version 1.7.0.3, which still works with Steam.
