Scott, where are you at with this right now? I've played with mine to get it to run (Fallout 4 Hype)

Getting the Newb Nexus Mod collection to see if that fixes anything. Takes ~90 minutes to download here, so that is still underway.

@scottalanmiller Did you get that .dll and put it in the root directory? The issue is that Steam doesn't make you auto-install Games for Windows Live with the game, but you need several of the packages from it to make the game run properly.

No, I only ran the Games for Windows Live installer and it did get me farther than I had been before. Should I do some manual DLL placement in addition to that?

@scottalanmiller Yes

This did it:
Some computers do not have a video card, using only the wimpy graphics processor built into the CPU (Intel IGP). These users crash on the intro movie and need the following fix. STOP: This fix is only for people with intel HD graphics! If you have any ATI or Nvidia video card you shouldn't be using this!
* Click here[www.nexusmods.com] and "download manually" * Right click the download to extract it * Drag only the d3d9x.dll file to your Fallout folder, probably at: * C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3 goty\ -
This is the file that I needed: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/download/82734
