Dinomut Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I have the GOTY edition downloaded from steam, and when i start the launcher, everything is fine. My video card/RAM is enough to have the game set to High settings, and I'm able to run Crysis on High as well so I doubt its the computer. My game is fully patched and updated, no mods. I have a version of ffshow that doesn't allow an exceptions list, and I'm running on windows 7 64 bit. Help? I've been working every solution on the web, and none are working. If you have any solutions that worked for you in a similar situation, please post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair91 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Try running the game in windowed mode first, see if it still crashes. Here's also something you can try: For the PC version of the game, the problems seem to be bigger as the game crashes when it starts, and even though there are no official answers for the problem at the moment, it appears that the problems are caused by the soundcards (the 3D surround options in Fallout 3, to be more specific). So, if you have Asus Xsonar, Creative or Realtek sound cards and your Fallout 3 game crashes when you start a new game, you can try the following trick reported by Bethesda forum user zsmono: Just turn off the GX mode if you have a Xonar card. “For the others. This DS3D GX thing is part of Xonar’s drivers which is responsible for restoring EAX and multichannel sorround sound under Vista. Similar to Creative’s Alchemy or Realtek’s 3D SoundBack. Try to disable them, or change the speaker config to stereo.” This was taken from www.unigamesity.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinomut Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Oh damn I didn't think there was a solution like that and I'm in the process of re-dling it from steam (11 and a half hour long download). I'll try this out when it's done in about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinomut Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Well i have a realtek sound card, but i find no "soundback" or surround sound to turn off. How exactly do you disable these things with windows 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehfata Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 try removing the fallout 3 folder from your my games; this actually worked for me. you can transfer your saves back in afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
