Once there make copies of FalloutLauncher.exe and fose_loader.exe. The common consensus was to rename some files in the games directory. I turned to the internet for some inspiration and found that others were having the same problem with the vanilla game. ![]() I needed a way to launch FOSE and steam at the same time. I tried a FOSE command line option, -altexe, the path pointing to Steam.exe, but got an error from FOSE that I had an unknown version of Fallout. The result was I had mods, but the windows and Steam overlay were not working. Next I tried to launch FOSE with SCS turned off. I now had the Windows live and Steam overlay, but no mods. I exited the SCS and ran the launcher again. I neglected the fact in order to work, Steam needed to be hooked by MO. My initial testing with MO was a dismal failure until I realized that my method was flawed. The result was only the Windows live overlay would work. The result was that I did not get any of the overlays to work.įallout launcher from MO. Next the game was launched from fose_loader.exe while SCS running. This was repeated with SCS closed and the result was the same as should be expected. The result was I got only the Windows live overlay to run. Next Fallout 3 Executable, Fallout3.exe, was launched with SCS running. Note: If the Steam Client Service, here after referred to as SCS, which is the Steam Windows tray icon is stopped, it will start back up if it has been closed. I got both the Steam and Windows live overlay. The result was I got the launcher window. Next the game was launched from FalloutLauncher.exe in the game directory. Of course no mods were available as MO is not running. The result was I had the Steam overlay and the Windows live overlay. ![]() The game was launched from the play button, which brings up the launcher window. ![]() So far it seems like I'm the only one with this problem.The following is my attempt to tackle and solve this problem. Please be aware this is a hack, and as such it is prone to failure from unseen events not encountered in my testing.įirst off testing was done to provide a baseline of the interaction of MO and Steam. I want to be able to run my game with mods through Mod Organizer while I have my hours played recorded from the same game through Steam.Īnd also have my Steam friends to see that I'm in-game playing through Steam.įallout NV & Skyrim works perfectly in that regard, but why doesn't Fallout 3?Įdit: Can somebody else (Mainly those who own Fallout 3 goty edition on steam and also uses Mod Organizer) test this out? I even tried renaming the fose_loader.exe to FalloutLauncher.exe and still the Steam overlay does not come up. I do use FOSE, however the Steam overlay does not even want to work for Fallout3.exe and FalloutLauncher.exe when run from MO either. I've been using Mod Organizer for Fallout 3 & Fallout NV, and I've noticed that the Steam overlay does not want to work for Fallout 3 when run from MO.
