FO3 Randomly Minimizes (and therefore crashes)


Krydel

Recommended Posts

I am patched up to 1.5 with the unofficial FO3 patch with NO mods running ( i did do, but i figured problems weren't worth the hassle ) and the game is perfectly stable with no issues other than this one.

 

At random intervals, with no preference as to when it does it, FO3 minimizes to desktop and then of course because of the engine, 90% of the time it will not maximize again (you hear the sound but it wont bring up the game again, causing you to alt f4 and have to work through what you were doing again)

 

I thought this would be something to do with things on desktop trying to steal focus but i dont think i have anything running that would do this.

 

thanks for any help, its fine otherwise but keeps minimizing which is really annoying :/

The only background program i dont need running whilst playing FO3 is AVG but i wouldn't have thought that would try and steal focus. other than that i play with no other programs up.

 

I'll give it a go and get back to you.
