FO3:GOTY & Xfire

[Geowil]

How can I get Xfire to read my GOTY version? The required exe file isn't in the game directory....

and I realize that lol, but thought someone out of the few thousand people who bought the game might have found a way to get it on xfire.

In case others want to solve this for FO3 or any xfire game, go under the Games tab in XFire, go to the Fallout 3 entry and change automatically detect to manual detect, locate your Fallout 3 folder and EXE under the steam folder and apply.

What exe? All I have is one named launcher.exe and that's not the exe its looking for.

Manually point it to <STEAM_DIRECTORY>\steamapps\common\fallout 3 goty\FalloutLauncher.exe and it *should* work.

Else, you can edit the detection code in xfire_games.ini. (But these changes will be lost when a new games update arrives.)

Auto detect worked for me, sometimes with the Steam stuff you have to run the game once before it puts in the registry entry that xfire detects.
