It seems that when I try to go north in L'Enfant Plaza, the game crashes. It also seems anytime I try to go north in that general area it crashes. This is very consistent and happens ALL of the time without fail. I'm not sure if this is considered the "DC" area, but if it is, I had troubles in another part of DC but I found a fix for that. I can't remember what it was or where I found it, but it fixed the problem at the time. I haven't been back in the area in a while, but I assume it's probably still fine. I tried all of the fixes listed so far and can't seem to find a solution. Here's my mods and load order:

The last 9 or 10 mods before the Bashed Patch are unrecognized by BOSS as of v1.9.1, so i've manually placed them there. This is the first time while traveling the wastelands that i've had this severe a crashing problem in a while.

Your game crashes when you go through a door?

As long as you try to run FOOK and FWE together you will have problems. Each of these mods change a large portion of the game and conflict with each other. In my experience, I had problems with FOOK and uninstalled it and went back to FWE. However, the choice is yours. Put up with the ctd or run only one of them.

I got this from a guy name freddie farnsworths this worked even tho i have windows vista ultimate on a p-7805u

ive pushed it up to 8gigs of ram 2 one tb drives and installed an internal blueray. my processor is my only bottle neck now.

 

He starts writing here

 

Here is the setup for W7 64bit, it is all I support at this time.
Since you do not have a Quad core, your laptop is a dual core, and is better suited for FO3 than a quad. (ignore the turn off cores section)

With a W7 install all the drivers should be included for that vista laptop you have.
the nvidia drivers listed should work with the built in 9800gt, just stay away from the newest drivers, they are for DX10 and 11 and FO3 does not support it properly. Other mods make DX10-11 work but it is a damaging hack that will make you game unstable fairly quickly. Stay Away !
Use fellout no newer...

Some of this you may already know, print and save for future troubleshooting.

W7 64bit is target platform.
---------

FOMM:
The last working final version for FO3 was v12.6 no issues...

The newer ones are for FONV and Slyrim (steamy workshop) and FO3 is long forgotten.

The newer code does not work properly with FO3. Causes the problems you are experiencing.

NMM is the same with old FO3 mods breaks em on install, does not understand the old XML install scripts used by many old mods. FWE is one of them.

Sorting and Updating mods is no longer supported in v12.6 turn it off. (You should learn to do that yourself anaways.)

You need to learn to unpack mods to a folder, examine the data and use fomm's install from folder to install. (give up the click on zip to install). Some mods have a bad folder structure and have to be fixed or installed manually.

This game is OLD not new... Newest drivers ect will BREAK it. the gameengine was built in 2006.

They did not have dual core then let alone Quads. If you have a QUAD turn off two cores in Your Machines BIOS (you can simply reenable them for newer games) the software settings do not work well if at all, Inumhardwarethreads=2 is already hardcoded into fallout3.exe so the ini setting does NOthing. V1.7 GOTY updated the game to be able to use dual core NOT 4 cores.

FO3 needs DX9 installed, vbasic runtimes 2005 and 2008 x32 and x64 installed (fo3 came with 2005 and was installed on install of game but it is a older version MS has finals up on those now) Links Below...

Goto Control Panel - Program features - upper left button "Turn Windows features on or off" - goto Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 expand boxes tick check the two empty boxes- goto Tablet PC Components in same window and untick box ! We not runnin FO3 on a tablet PC are we ? Notebook OK but tablet cummon man... Tablet Componets Sets the video and interface all wrong for FO3.

Everytime you run fallout launcher and set video settings or allow a steam update (steam does NO updates for FO3 anaways, it just does not like changes to the INI or mods) the fallout3.ini is replaced with a stock one, now your mods that made ini changes via install script are broken, nice huh...
So when you upgrade your video settings for new drivers, be aware some mods will need to be "reactivated" in fomm. not Reinstalled-Reactivated.

++++++++

Nvidia driver 258.96, 8.17.12.5896 June 9th 2010 or the Aug 2011 one. All Nvidia cards up to GTX460 work well for FO3 with this driver. Newer Cards and Newer drivers ...? ,,,NotSoMuch

++++++++

Install Directx 9 (I think this is last latest DX9 Full version)

http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=31217 (Full DEV version)
http://www.microsoft...ls.aspx?id=8109 (Full Distributable)


++++++++

Install Visual C++ helps out a lot of applications: Both x32 and x64 Install both Versions if on 64bit W7. Install all three on top in order 5 8 10.

http://www.microsoft...ls.aspx?id=5638 2005 x86 sp1
http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=18471 2005 x64 sp1

http://www.microsoft...ls.aspx?id=5582 2008 x32 sp1
http://www.microsoft...ls.aspx?id=2092 2008 x64 sp1

http://www.microsoft...ls.aspx?id=5555 2010 x32
http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=14632 2010 x64

++++++++

MORE

W7 64bit - Set compatibility mode on everything that runs the game to Vista, NOT SP1 SP2 ect, Plain Vista, SP1 and 2 adds codes FO3 cannot understand. Do NOT use XPsp3 as Beth did not enable 64bit with that OS but with Vista they had to. Vista 1 and 2 broke it so MSoft could drop support for FO3. It is all about dates for compatibility.
Right click files in windows explorer select properties, compatability mode tab. That is under compatability mode - Set for all users of this machine.

to C:\GAMES\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3 folder. you need to install FO3 here for best results... You have to create the folders during install or before install and point the game installer at it.

You can use Disable Live:
Link: http://fallout3.nexu...s.com/mods/1086 to move the content.

One way or another get it out of the Program files folder !

Install Game to:

C:\GAMES\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3

(Game) If CD 2 gives you trouble (slow) run it from safe mode, disables windows encryption checking and installs fast.

Install Patch to 1.7.
Install FOSE and the Updated Loader on top, "Overwrite"

http://fose.silverlock.org (for the v1.2 b2)
http://fose.silverlo...e_v1_2_beta3.7z
http://fose.silverlo.../fose_loader.7z

Install FOMM. (ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated) built in.

Run the game to menu Using Fallout Launcher THIS TIME ONLY, and autoset your video options.
DO NOT goto the "DATA" button...bail out, Reboot, do not start new game yet.

GFWL must not run. Polly wont make MS very happy...
When you run the game with FOMM-FOSE Steam is removed, Live is removed..
Game should be started with FOSE "Launch with FOSE" from the FOMM window.

Now launch FOMM, tick off all your files, Set your LOreder (drag mods up or down) autosort and update is no longer supported for FO3 in FOMM v12.6 turn it off.
Hit archiveInvalidated button it should ask to apply it pick YES. You can disable enable each time you add a mod to refresh it.

CLOSE FOMM.
reboot

Reopen FOMM pick launch with FOSE button if it is not there install it before running game, If you did it all right fallout will run and be as crash free as possible, Congrats,, I have done this on seven machines so far works every time.

Set your gamesetting to NO auto SAVES on Rest Wait or Travel, In display set Texture size to Large, Dialog to subtitles (both) all others are not mandatory. [Controls] I always set my movement keys to the arrow keys (I have the keyboards with the OldSkool Big arrow keys) But that is up to you.

YOU asked ! it is only a tiny portion of what you need to know.. Just keep learning.

And with you machine set up this way it runs Fallout 3 3-4hrs no crashes, till I add a bad mod then I fix it, Vanilla Game Will NOT Crash at all if setup this way Have done this on so many machines now it seems easy.
