mickeymegabyte Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 my first post, so hello all! i have windows 7 build 7232 x64, and installed fallout 3 through steam - and boy the game runs smooth and beautiful at 1920x1080 with enhanced texture pack - well worth buying my new ati hd4890! :thumbsup: the only issue i am having is a crash on exit - when i press quit, i see a faded-out version of the gameworld, mouse cursor disappears then crash - i have to crank up task manager, wiggle my mouse to get the pointer back, and shut down fallout 3 through task manager. it's not a show stopper (more of a show stop-stopper :unsure:), but it's a little annoying... is this a windows 7, x64 issue, steam issue or purely local? anybody know? thanking you all in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overload1977 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 it your game upto date ? also when you buy a new 3d card the drivers that come with it maybe are not upto date, see if there are updates for that also what error message are you getting ?

mickeymegabyte Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 hi overload, thanks for your reply. i downloaded fallout 3 through steam, so it should be up to date - i see i have version 1.5.0.22 - i believe there is a patch 1.6 available, but i thought that was for the expansion packs only? my ati graphics drivers are also up-to-date, version 9.6 - let me repeat i do not have a problem with the graphics - they are beautiful (in a wretched post-apocalyptic sort of way)! my problem is only when i quit - i press quit, the game warns me about unsaved progress (or whatever) and i press exit game - now my problem begins! all i see on screen is a still frame of whatever was going on in the fallout world before i pressed quit - i get no error message, no mouse cursor. i have to use ctrl-alt-delete to get to my desktop. no big problem, but i would like to fix it if anyone knows how...
