[OS-neutral] Help with Fallout 3

katokashi · Dec 2, 2012, 06:29 AM

I have parallels desktop to play pc games however fallout 3 doesn't run with windows 7 and therefore i am trying to use wineskin but i need a setup.exe file and since i got the game from steam i haven't got one yet i have the setup code. Any help on where to find one? or in any other way?

Fallout 3 does run on win7, but you need to run it in compatibility mode.
