katashy Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Okay, after reinstaling everything on my laptop, I reinstalled Fallout 3. When i played it, and it got to the "slide show" intro, a purple slide came up, and then it froze. I reinstalled the game again, and now it just CTDs. I have done EVERYTHING the same as last time, because FO3 worked perfectley for me before. I haven't installed mods or changed anything. Helpz?

katashy Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Being as impatient as I am, I decided to try and fix it myself, to no avail. Running it with FOSE doesn't work and neither does deleting save/fallout.ini/falloutprefs/render.info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
