Owen H Brown: Hello friends,I am running FO3 on a 32bit Vista Upgrade OS through a dual core CPU designed for a 64 bit OS.After turning my FO3 settings way down and STILL getting framerate drops I have decided that enough is enough. I shall install 64 bit Windows 7 and see if that improves my game experience.However I am not very confident about it. You see, I DO NOT want to have to re-download (all) the DLCs, which I downloaded from GFWL. I was hoping you could assist me in achieving this.Please tell me which DLC files I should back up, where they're located, and if a simple file transfer into the new Win 7 Installation will allow me to simply resume play where I left off. If I actually have to manually install the DLCs, how do I go about doing this without relying on GFWL?Something which MAY also complicate things is that I used a mod to disable GFWL.When I re-install FO3 should I use this mod again and THEN transfer the DLC, or should I install the DLC and then use the mod to disable GFWL?I really have no idea, please help me!
im not totally understanding your question, you want to NOT redownload the DLCs, but you just want to copy them?
well, im guessing you know how to install mods right? (so ill skip that)
your DLCS are in this directory
(for vista/7)
(IT is a hidden folder)
search appdata>local>Xlive>DLC>425307 or something like that(only folder in there probly)>any folder in that folder, you will know what DLC it is when you get in it. in those folders click on the ESPs ect. (just like installing a mod from there) IT should work.
if you want me to clarify i will.
The easiest way would be to do an upgrade to Windows 7, but this is not always the best. A clean install is always the best. As for your downloaded content, there are so many issues here. It has to do with the games itself and the way this ties into Windows 7 and the registry. I don't think you are going to have much success here but there are one or 2 games that this is possible from what I have heard. You have to browse the forums for info.
Good luck with this.

If you have serious frame rate drops maybe your video card is not great. A new operating system isn't really going to do anything if you don't have the right hardware for your pc games to play at favorable settings.

2gbs and 4 gbs of ram do make a difference. so does the optimization (i have a 2.0 ghz dual core laptop, and optimized for 64, and 32 bit didnt work well)
