Thanks for the reply. I've updated my post to ensure I can provide the details listed by that page

Just starting encountering this today. I was tinkering with SweetFX (which i am absolutely certain had nothing to do with this, along with the rest of my mods that I had completely disabled and uninstalled while trying to figure this out), when I encountered some awful things that left the game mostly unplayable. Here's what happens when I try to launch the game now (NB - this is completely vanilla, no mods) - The game flickers on the main menu, going to black for a split second (the music still plays), and having a slow FPS when the cards come up after the PLEASE STAND BY message) - Upon loading the game, my combat shotgun doesn't always appear; I clearly have it out, and I can shoot with it (bullets appear), but the actual gun model doesn't appear unless I reload the game with quicksave-quickload - My game stutters heavily when I try to pull up my Pip Boy, to the point that it becomes painful to use - My FPS as a whole is much worse than it previously was I've tried reverting to default INIs, uninstalling my mods (as mentioned), and everything I can think of, but I'm not sure why this is happening. my specs are the following: - GPU: Nvidia GeForce MX130 (notebook) - CPU: Intel Core i7-8550U - CPU Speed: Around 3.7 GHz. I underclock my CPU with ThrottleStop and have for a very long time - System Ram: 8GB - GPU VRAM/Display Memory: 4055mb - Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit - Monitor Display: 1920x1080, 60hz - Hard Drive Free Space: 44.3 GB - Is it a laptop?: Yes it is, and i've been able to run all sorts of demanding games on it. Thankfully, Fallout 3 isn't that demanding Now, some game info: - Directory: C:\GOG Games\Fallout 3 - Patch: 1.7.0.4 - DLCs: All of them - Operation Anchorage, The Pitt, Point Lookout, Mothership Zeta, Broken Steel. - Mods: None
