[quote name='DarthPuma']God, I'm a moron. Oh well, I'll go through the annoying gayness of installing it again. Gotta find a way to back up my saves so that when I install MY copy, I don't lose my shit again.
And yeah, clicking on the icon just takes me straight into the game.[/QUOTE]
Go to the Fallout 3 folder, which is probably C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3 and run the FalloutLauncher.exe.
If you are running x64 Vista, it'll be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3.
So how did you get a Russian copy?
