Fallout crashes when i try to start a new game or continue


Recommended Posts

i recently got fallout 3 but every time i try to run it freezes when i hit new game, within that loading screen. so hoping it was something wrong with the new game i downloaded a save, but that freezes at a similar time. I am thinking its because of my graphics card, i was wondering if the errors i said would be caused by my graphics card not being a good one, i have tried all the visual settings, could it be the game file? i have the most recent patch. Thanks for any help

Update your grapics card drivers

 

 

besides that, does the grapics card meet the min requirements of Fallout 3

 

 

what about your windows, XP SP3 I think is a fallout 3 requirement

 

 

Vista? Did you install Fallout 3 to it's own directory outside of program files/system files

 

like C:/Bethesda

 

 

In Vista do you run it as a admin with run as Win XP SP3

 

 

 

Do you have any mods?

 

 

Did you run any patches? Oh yeah I see you did.

 

so I guess you ran 1.6

 

You know with a crappy card, you could use the 1.0.15 patch an fake patch mod

an then you could shoot down grenades in mid air, while also maybe more stability.

 

 

If you ran patches did you master update for your mods with FO3edit?

 

 

Since it sounds like you just got started maybe you could just run the game unpatched.

 

Sorry I ran out of ideas.
