shizuneko Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Here's the thing.I bought FO3 in June. I played it without any problems on medium details (resoulution 1280x1024). Then I had 2-week-long break. After that CTDs started occuring. I got rid of them by installing polish v1.1 patch. Then, after starting the new game they came back. I got rid of them once again by playing windowed mode. Then I got myself another 2-week-long break (holidays suck). Now here's the main problem. After 15-minutes-long gameplay frames start to drop dramatically. From 20-25 they drop to 5-10. It's pretty annoying. I've tried to reinstall the game, clean the whole computer or install new drivers. No changes. Problem still occurs. Is there any good sollution for that? My specs:Processor: Intel® Core2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz (2 CPUs)Memory: 1024MB RAMVideo Card: GIGABYTE Radeon X1600 PRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spammster Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 well you could start by installing the V1.7 patch, download the latest graphic card driver and maybe buy nuther GB Ram ?cause 1 GB is like minimal requirement and thats only for XP (2 GB for vista) srsly. your specs are pretty much the bare minimum to play the game (actually i think its 2.2 GHz dualcore), so try all of the above, defrag your harddrive and consider upgrading hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssGeeDee Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It happens to me too, I'm still on the 1.4 patch, and I'm a little bit too lazy to update. To me, it seems like the game's cache isn't being cleared completely when the player changes levels/areas, bits of extra data are being left behind and start to take more and more system resources to maintain, even though they're not doing anything. I'm not saying that's what is happening, just saying that it seems like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spammster Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 well thats a reasonable assumption and its somewhat confirmed (most programs don't clean correctly) but i think there's a mod that fixes some of that. anyways, both of ya, update to 1.7, get the latest drivers and consider spending that 20 bucks for 1 GB more of RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
