Fallout 3 Dlc On Disc
Landerico Benson
If you didn't know the Fallout 3 GOTY comes with 2 discs. Disc 1 has all the gameplay of the original Fallout 3. Disc 2 contains the DLC. According to the instruction manual, it wants you to install disc 2, and then play disc one. I didn't read it until I accepted the mission for GNR.
yes, as soon as i started my fallout campaign, I got 5 pop-ups for the new missions, including one informing me about my cap being raised to level 30. I have a 120G hard drive, so I don't need the save space...I might end up selling it.
I would hold on to it. You never know if you will indeed need it. It's not hurting you to hold on to it, it's probably not taking up any significant space in your Fallout 3 GOTY case. I just don't see the reason to get rid of it.
I know that game stores in the UK wont let you trade in used copies of the disc expansions (like the Broken Steel/Point Lookout disc for example) so I doubt you could trade that in, but you could always sell it to a friend I suppose.
I'd keep it. If you ever get a new console, you will need to re-install it, because you can't play a game from the HD on another console, other than the one it was installed on. So you will have to delete it then re-install it onto your HD again, while the HD is in your new console, if you get me?
Keep it. If you intend on selling it or trading it in after you complete it, your gonna have problems. Nobody will want to buy the GOTY edition if it doesn't come with both disc. If you want to trade it in, they will probably require you to have both disc. When I traded in ODST, they required the Halo 3 Mythic disc to take it. Better safe than sorry.
Currently thinking of starting Fallout 4 and trying to decide whether to buy the GOTY version on sale from the PS Store or get the season pass to go with my disc copy, would prefer the season pass for the flexibility and ease of installing from disc in the future but the GOTY is showing as cheaper than the season pass has ever been which I find just odd.
So I've rarely been in the situation to play both the disc and digital version of the same game, but in my experience this hasn't been an issue on PS4, only PS3. I've personally played 2 PS3 games on both disc and digital versions which had different save files, but never run into it on PS4. But I've probably played too few games on both disc and digital, so who knows, maybe its a more common issue than I thought. Ironically, I've been looking to get a GOTY copy of Fallout 4 for a while now, so at least I know to look out for this issue.
A friend of mine borrowed my pipboy edition disc to try out the game. Later on he got the normal version for himself and he couldn't use his original saves.
If you buy a physical GOTY copy to get the DLC for your current disc copy, make sure the disc code is the same as your current disc or the saves won't be compatible.
In the end, savefiles are linked to the disc code. If you ever copy them to USB and then check that USB with a PC, you'll see the names of the saves contain the disc code.
You can find the disc code (or serial number/SKU code) on the disc or on the spine of the box near the bottom. For PS4 games it's usually something CUSA-00000 for EU/US.
This is the list I could find of all codes for Fallout 4, but it seems they didn't identify yet what the code for the pipboy version from EU is:
-323c-4d5c-8fa7-801f7866db65
@Finch_III Are you sure you have overwritten your save in the cloud?
Because if they are from different versions (different disc codes) then they should be separate in the cloud as well. Meaning you should have multiple Fallout 4 entries if you check the saves on your cloud.
But if you use options on the game icon and then go to 'upload/download saves', you'll only see the saves for that version and not for all versions.
So instead of using the menu on the game icon. go to the settings of your PS4/PS5 and look for the savefiles there and then what's on the cloud.
You should get a full overview of all your games and I suspect that you have multiple entries for Fallout. If there's only one entry, it might still have saves from the 2 different versions (couldn't test it myself) but I suspect you'll be able to tell in that case.

I'm not sure what you mean.
If you start with the pip-boy disc and don't want to start over, then you have to finish the game with that disc and buy the DLC separate or with the season pass if you want 100%.
If you start with a normal disc, the same.
If you start the GOTY version you'll have to use that from start to finish.
Only thing you can't do if you don't want to lose progress is start one version (normal disc for example) and then switch to another version (pip-boy version). Because the different versions don't recognise each others savefiles.
If I check the disc codes on serial station, it looks like there's no GOTY version with the same disc code as the normal edition. Despite the code being separate in the box. However, they could also mean the digital GOTY on that site. That's why it might be worth checking the code of a physical GOTY version.
The DLC is also available separate or with the season pass. So for the normal disc version and pip-boy edition, you can buy that instead of using the GOTY version.
The season pass is in sale regularly for 11.54GBP according to psprices.

I also went looking on ebay hoping for some pictures of discs and there I could find a normal EU version (PEGI mark on the box, sold in UK) with code CUSA-02962.
I'll see if I can get in contact with serialstation to get that info updated.
Edit: When checking some pip-boy editions on ebay, they have CUSA-02962 on the box... However I couldn't find a pip-boy edition with a picture of the actual disc. And I also couldn't find the box of my pip-boy edition to cross-check with my disc code...
Okay, so I recently moved down to college and had to purchase a laptop for the engineering school I am in. Unfortunately this laptop does not have a DVD drive and I would like to install the Fallout 3 disc I purchased a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I do not have access to an external DVD drive and cannot afford to purchase one.
Having been told you can just launch the game directly from the folder the game was installed in, I went ahead and tried launching both Fallout3.exe and FalloutLauncher.exe with administrative privileges but the same exact error window came up again both times. After that failed I went ahead and installed FOMM in hopes of being able to launch the game from FOMM but, once again, the same error message popped up.
I don't know how or what i did.every other game works well, except fallout 3.I put it in, close the tray.i hear the xbox working, but then it stops.It says "open tray" but that's everything.i tried putting the xbox on and off, putting another disc in, then put fallout in again.It doesnt work.What can i do ...?
