Both Fallout 3 GOTY and Fallout New Vegas GOTY freezes upon startup


Recommended Posts

Hello to all.

 

With the Fallout 4 hype I have decided to get back into playing the Fallout series, partly to play the survivor overhauls (Ex: DUST and Obscurum). I bought New Vegas a while back but never touched it for a while. When I try to run a game with no mods however, my game freezes either when I click to get the Main Menu faster or when the Bethesda logo appears on screen. Same problem with Fallout 3 except I tried to play Obscurum right away as I have played FO3 before with some mods. I am not sure to put this in either FO3 or NV technical support so I am putting it in both.

> I'm assuming that your using Windows Vista or higher? In that case go to the New Vegas Folder and seta all the applications (laucher, base game etc) in compatibility mode Winodws XP Service Pack 3 & set to run as administrator.

 

> For Fallout 3, is this a new install? if so, you have to let the game run on vanillia once before installing mods. Also Fallout 3 doesn't like Windows 7 or up, so you need to run incompatbitly mode either Windows XP or Vista and run as admin.

 

Also if you have a quadcore Fallout 3 can't handle it so you have to edit your ini file to tell fallout 3 to only use two cores to prevent freezing. Windows 7 Fallout 3 Fix
