Aruikai Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Personally, I found these adjustments and such is unnecessary in my situation (This is just for anyone who isn't helped from this guide). Seriously; I tried all of those techniques and nothing happened at all. What the problem is, is I kept overwriting all my saves with the next save. You have to turn off all of the autosave settings, don't use quicksave, and most importantly: Only make NEW saves, don't overwrite them. It seems when you overwrite a save over and over for a long amount of time it will corrupt it. This is the technique that helped me the most; hope this helps anyone with a similar situation that I used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bElAlI Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hello... I have a really weird crash in my game. I had the freezing crash and I fixed it and I was playing the game without any error or crashes for sometime. But after I added some mods to the game, game started to crash on a specific point. If I go out from that location and escape, there will be no problem in fact, but I still want to solve the error. For this, I have deactivated all of the mods and I made a completely clean save and I have deleted all of the mod files. But error has not fixed. I cannot see what is the problem as long as I cannot see what happens in console. I believed that an animation file or something like that is missing. Or it can be some background programs that windows runs. Here is the location; Rivet City marketplace or outside of Rivet City (even the fast travel option is not working sometimes.) Also is there a way to check what is happening in the console on that specific point, please tell me that too. Thanks for the help. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bElAlI Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 hmm no one retuns... I solved the problem in 2 weeks I think :) "point lookout" was cause of the problem. When I play in that region (that is, The Citadel to Rivet City area) game crashes. Also I cannot save the game. But when I deactivated Point Lookout, problem solved. Just a reminder for anyone who experience this "weird" error. But I don't know how to play point lookout :( it seems impossible for me :( Best Regards... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertuio Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 FINAL SOLUTION!!! Hey guys i registered only to help you with this... i tried everything and i finally found what makes FO3 to crash... Have you noticed that almost every crash is related to any kind of sound or shoot or when entering a door???... well i've fixed that problem going to CONTROL PANEL/DEFAULT PROGRAMS... then you click on the link to associate files with programs and search for .OGG... most of the times its a unknown file associated with any dvd player or picture viewer... you MUST associate it to WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER... the game crashes when a sound can't find the right codec to play it... so thats it... ITS SOLVED!!!... i haven't had a crash in 2 weeks... NOTES:- Its useful to install KLITE CODEC PACK and set everything to LAV instead of FFDSHOW for audio and video codecs- If you can't find .OGG files to link to WMP... then save a blank notepad file as .OGG and then try again to link it with WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER- This fix is only tested for WIN7 64bits in a intel i7 and i also did the FALLOUT.ini file editing for the quad core processors fix... so if you try this in WIN XP and it works please post a reply Hope it works for you too...

supersniper1 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) I don't understand why no one ever suggests using this mod but it totally fixed my game. See this thread for more details on how I got my Fallout 3 Game of the Year editon completely stable on my Windows 7 i7 3rd gen 8gb ram 64bit laptop at full settings with HD texture packs running around 60 fps constantly. Try out the mod I suggested and see if it helps. If it does please spread the news. Edited October 2, 2012 by supersniper1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
