I have the same problem. Maybe its Norten 360? I just installed that too before decided i wanted to paly fallout again.

You seem to know a lot about fallout, could you possibly helpme? i have deleted .ini files i reinstalled, i deleted old saves, never modded and even got the 1.7 patch but it won't start a new game without crashing 2 seconds later, Could you maybe suggest something I could try(My computer is compatible, I've played FO3 before, and even completed the game it just won't let me anymore)? Thank you even if you don't have anything I can do.

I don't know why Oblivion would work and Fallout doesn'\t for the same maker, but if all you have is the chipset Fallout won't work. You need to have a dedicated graphics card. (At least in all my experience, anyone can feel free to prove me wrong)

Hey. I know your problem with steam they don't just "Show up" When you get to the launcher, don't press continue, load or new game instead go to "Data files" it will open a new window and there will be one option selected "Fallout 3.esm" the rest should be unselected when you enter. Select them, then start your game. (I can't remember but you may need to get out of the launcher and start it again, its been a while) but either way, those are your DLC packages that come with the GOTY edition. I hope I helped. ~Vampy892

Okay. First of all I'm going to explain the problem, then i'll tell you additional information regarding how i run the game and my computer information. My friend sent me Fallout (Game of the Year edition) over steam as a gift months ago. It ran fine, I finished the game did a few of the Expansion packs then I haven't really touched it since may. So few days ago I decided "Hey I never really explored fallout 3 to much, and there were a lot of side quests and interesting finds I probably missed" (Brought on by exploring New Vegas which works perfectly fine on medium setting nothing altered, same way I ran fallout 3 and still am trying to run it). So I open the game, I get passed the launcher menu and then comes the game start menu. I choose "Start a new game" and then it loads for a few seconds before I get an Error saying it stopped working and windows will notify me when it finds a solution. I downloaded the latest patch from the Bethesda site, I intergified the came cache files, I defragmented them, I deleted all my old saves. Nothing works. It still crashes and gives me the same error. I have no idea why. Before anyone asks!: I have no Mods. I never downloaded any mods, I took off the DLCS so its not a FOMM problem. Recent changes in my computer: - I have uninstalled/reinstalled Fallout 3 GOTY but it still crashes (Was suggested by every site i went on{Even though all responses said it still didn't work}) - For a while Amnesia the dark descent would't work, I found out I had to manually update my Mobile Intel drives, and that was after I stopped with fallout 3 the first time (But I doubt this is it because New Vegas works perfectly) - New Anti-virus software (Again new vegas and all my other steam games still work, so I doubt it) - Downloaded the latest patch (didn't do anything to make it crash earler or help it not crash) I also run both Fallout games in windowed mode 16:9 -1440:800(biggest windowed mode for 16:9) Computer information: I have an Acer Aspire 7750G-6635. Intel core i5-2410M, AMD Radeon HD 6650M with 8GB ram and 1000GB Hard Drive (Over 700GB left free) I also use Windows 7 home premium 64bit computer. If anyone could help I'd be so grateful. I just am completely baffled because anyone else who had a problem like this always said they just bought the game. Mine used to work, but now it doesn't. Thank you to anyone who read this, even if you couldn't help or don't respond. ~Vampy892
