Had no idea steam had broken the installs. I have the first Fallout Anthology nuke box (only contained all fallout's until Vegas, with an empty sleeve for FO4) and they were all disc installs with codes included. Worthless now I suppose.

Some of the games might still have content on the disks. It could be like the Elder Scrolls Anthology edition disks. All of the Elder Scrolls Anthology disks with the exception of Skyrim are non steam DRM, they are reprints of the old GOTY versions of TES 3 and 4 and prints of the installers available on Bethesda's site at the time for Arena and Daggerfall put onto a disk. They have the old keep the disk in the drive to play style of DRM rather than Steam or GFWL. The code in the back also has digital copies of the games that were available at the time on Steam. So it's possible some of the disks in the Fallout Anthology are reprints of the old versions like TES Anthology

@@adaa12345SixSevenEightNine Thats exactly how it was. The old Interplay games included with the nuke were old disc installs, with steam codes included to round out the digital purchases. FO3 and New Vegas were steam disk installs I'm pretty sure. Would have to dig out the nuke to double check but I remember a similar screen. Not sure how the anthology released this year handled all the old games, but given the trend lately I wouldn't be surprised if it was simply cardboard with codes and no discs at all.

@@AeliusAnonymousI think fallout 3 originally released as a normal install, as well as the goty version. I bought a copy on ebay recently to test it in another video, but I cant find any threads online of people complaining about steam during fallout 3's release, so that's all I really base this theory on. I would be surprised if they made another separate steam install disk version of fallout 3, I might be wrong tho

valve broke physical installs ages ago, at least since the UI update. you can no longer even install left 4 dead, black ops 1, the orange box or anything else that has steam's old "backup" system. you get hit with an "invalid media" error saying appid 0

I bought the game on disc on release and you indeed need both an internet connection and Steam installed for it to work (the real value was basically the Steam code on the card it camd with). You can install almost the entire game from disc, which would save you the trouble of downloading the majority of the game (not a big deal today) but I'm pretty sure the executable had to be downloaded from Steam once the game was officially out. Similar how today you can install games just before launch but not actually play them yet. I also bought the DLC for Skyrim physically and it didn't even came on disc. There was just a card with a Steam code inside. I remember the cards looking cool though.

Yeah I made an .iso backup from the disc and there's some large propietary backups in there, I assume compressed game files. I had so much trouble trying to find a software that could decrypt/unzip them, I'm not sure if it's possible anymore. The disc basically has no use in this day and age

You can install this game from the disc, just... not the "official" way. There was a program called phoenix unpacker? Or something like that, it does unpack the game files from the disc. I did that back in the release days, and the game files surely were on the disc. I remember that something was missing tho, either game executable or some dll's. And the game was in english(my language pack most likely had to be downloaded by steam in normal install/download process). Cheers

This is some very useful information. I tried scouring the internet but I can barely find any information on Phoenix Tools/Unpacker or alternatives, let alone a download link or an active repository. This is seriously such a niche issue/idea, it's hilarious to me. Most threads I've seen consist of people just giving in to downloading the game from the Steam servers 10-13 years ago because the game already was being patched on day 1 anyways. I tried launching Steam through Win+R, install from DVD drive and it resulted in an error code. My account owns the Legendary Edition as well, so it's not like I got an error from trying to install software I don't own. I do truly think it's just been too much time--I made an .iso backup of the disc and I can see the .sis file and .sid files, but I think that's as far as I can get

@@korrina Most steam games found on the high seas come with a cracked/localized or whatnot steam executable. I haven't needed to look into it on a tech level but from casual viewing most of the files for the phantom steam files seem standardized. Most likely the Seadog's Cove or some other haven of archived files has a old copy. I've found torrents that are fifteen years old still viable and downloadable. Torrentfreaks is a good site for info and news concerning the finer things as far as I still know. An old copy of Vuze still works wonders as well.

I did browse the disk, it's all proprietary .sis and .sid files that Steam is no longer able to install in any capacity at all. The functionality is either gone or broken or both. I found the Razor1911 crack of Skyrim and it has a similar file layout to what was on the disc. I'll probably mess around with it

Thank you for the feedback but I don't think it's that big of a spoiler to immediately disclose that a 13 year old disc no longer installs. The point of me saying it right away was to kind of immediately weed out the people who just wanted the answer, and anyone else who wanted to stick around and watch me figure it all out and talk about it could choose to or not.
