Lucidx Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Even with no mods in my fallout 3 crashes every 30 seconds, what is wrong with it? It's patched to 1.7 and I have the unofficial patch but it still crashes with that, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biosman Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Do you use nVidia geforce ? i had a problem with the game freezing on a 9600GT ,you can hear the sound but the graphics died and the only way out was the task manager to kill fallout3.exe.disabling autosaves helped slightly but heard about nVidia 186 drivers and this fixed it up good,mods and all,no more freezing with these drivers. http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista...86.18_whql.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csb Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 If you are using Vista, did you install to the default directory in Program Files? Try re-installing to a directory like C:\Games\Fallout3. This helps avoid problems with Vista (and probably Windows 7) UAC -- User Account Control and security conflicts with Fallout3 running in the Program Files directory. Secondly, if you are crashing that frequently, how much RAM do you have. 2GB is recommended, and obviously more is better. Thirdly, if your system has more than 2 processors (x64 architecture mainly), you'll want to search around the forum here about how to get Fallout3 running -- I can't remember now where I saw it, but it was posted recently.
