yker Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hello this is my first post :rolleyes: I would appreciate very much if yu help me :turned: I started playing this game like a few days ago (since my xbox got red ring of death).... Well It happens that after some time that Im playing, dont know how long exctly, it closes and dont give any error messages or anything I just end looking to the desktop like :mellow: I've noticed that it happens when I change too many maps or go to big maps like cities or if there are tons of enemies around, but as long as I stay in a same map it wont close. Guess it is a loding error or my computer just sucks and cant handle the game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 The game engine has a problem with properly releasing ram. So eventually you will run out. this usually happens when the game suddenly needs a lot more ram, such as when in a big fight or when it has to load a new map or new area - Such as going through a door into a city. The base game can only use 2gig of ram. However, if you only have 2 or less it will use less as the system and any background processes will use at least a half gig. So if you have a 32 bit system you can upgrade to 3 or 4 gig to play longer, but it will still eventually crash. There are mods to 'flush' the buffers and release some ram, but I have never seen much improvement from them. Save often, it will help with your sanity. Try this program to open up some ram _ it works for some, while thers have reported no change.

JimboUK Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 If you've got plenty of RAM you can try this, it helped me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtklink Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I just recently started having consistent crashes with my game after adding a couple mods. The crashes have always been during any kind of save. Since I thought it was an issue with those mods I have uninstalled/deleted them. I used archive invalidation, and that seemed to fix the problem, and I was able to save, but only briefly, because I once again am unable to autosave (enter or exit an area), quicksave or save normally. I dont think its a prob with my previous mods because theyve worked fine up until this point. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkNinja13 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Well, I couldnt fix it and it closes way more often than before FO3 :wallbash: I just have 1GB ram Thanks for your replies. PD: Gamebooster sucks dont use it... Upgradr the RAM and your issues should go away (two 1 GB ram cards should do the trick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
