Now whenever you launch the game it will skip the disk check, skip the launcher and launch into the main game menu. There is no need for any No-CD or other cracked executables, and this method also doesn't hinder patching of the game in the future. If you don't use this method and/or you are having problems launching the game due to SecuROM errors, see the Troubleshooting Tips section on page 3 for more details.
To bypass the disk check component on Fallout 3, all you need to do is change your game's launch icon, or your Vista Games Explorer's launch icon to point to the following executable: \Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Fallout3.exe. To do this, in Windows XP right-click on the Fallout 3 launch icon, select Properties, and change the Target box to point to the file above. In Vista's Games Explorer, right-click on the Fallout 3 launch icon, select Customize, highlight the second Play command in the list and click the Add button, then browse to the location of the Fallout3.exe file as noted above and select it. When done, highlight the item again and use the 'Move Up' button to move it to the top of the list so it becomes the default launch method for Fallout 3.
Fallout 3 employs the copy protection system (however StarForce is used in the Russian version). The particular implementation of SecuROM used in Fallout 3 doesn't incorporate any other DRM or online activation requirements - the only noticeable aspect is the disk check component which can easily be bypassed legally. This is because the disk check component seems to be tied specifically to the game's Launcher, so by directly accessing the game's main executable instead, you can bypass the disk check. First configure the game appropriately using the Launcher's Options menu as detailed in the In-Game Settings section of this guide. Then when you're satisfied with your settings and don't need to use the launcher again, follow the steps below.
Note that you can check for new patches at any time using the Live option in the in-game menu. As soon as any more patches are released I will update this section with the details accordingly.
Bethesda has released several patches for Fallout 3, the latest being . This patch is a relatively minor update which provides support for a new Downloadable Content (DLC) pack by adding new achievements. It also appears to fix a common crash/freeze on exit problem.
