You should back up your FalloutLauncher.exe before replacing with the one contained here.
This is a simple exploit to run Fallout Fixt through steam by replacing the FalloutLauncher.exe with a batch file compiled to .exe.

If you have Bethesda.net Launcher version of Fallout 1 then rename FalloutLauncher.exe to FalloutLauncherHR.exe and it will work. <---- doesn't exist anymore lol
Thanks to RowanSkie for figuring this out.


I've seen some threads of some people having troubles getting Steam to run with Fallout Fixt so I made this to help out a bit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/44baoj/installing_fixtrestoration_mod_on_the_new_steam/czp8oyk/ The author of this got some things right, however their batch file will never work because they didn't put start before the file path.


The way this batch file works is like this:
The batch file will stay open until the game closes, tricking steam into thinking that the batch file is the actual game thus tracking how long you've played the game for.

There's two versions. One that runs the "Play Fallout Fixt" shortcut and one that runs the "FALLOUTW.EXE" itself. They both work the same way. I've included the batch files in the optionals section in case you wanted to convert them to .exe yourself. I used Batch Compiler to make these executables. 

I've also included a fallout.cfg file with some changes in case you get an error about missing master.dat and critters.dat. It can be found in the Updates section in files.

Below is a list of compilers I used for older versions. A lot of these didn't actually upload to the nexus because the .exe's created with these programs produced false positives/contained viruses.

The one that did get uploaded required that I pay for a "pro" version in order to redistribute the .exe's.
I'm going to suggest that you avoid all of these.


Advanced BAT to EXE - Exe's made with this didn't produce much false positives but it requires a license in order to redistribute anything made by this program.

F2KO Bat to Exe Converter - the application itself appears safe to use, the .exe's made by this appear to be unsafe. To download it they make your computer calculate maths for them to generate bitcoin. I used a phone to download this from their website because it didn't enforce the bitcoin adgen.

bat2exe - This is from a site of the same name, i didn't even upload these. I just tried it and it made a file that I thought was way to big so I discarded it.

Slimms Bat to Exe - This is from cnet which is bad but it seems to work alright. The reviews are 1 star though and the .exe's it creates; while the lowest file size, produced a lot of false positives.
