luthienanarion Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 You'll need to be more descriptive if you want someone to help you. "My game crashes" just lumps you in with every other Fallout player. When does it crash? What does it do when it crashes? What are you doing before it crashes?

jessicalily Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 sorry about that. I am about 55 hours in, and game was perfect until about 40 hours. Now, when i load it may run for 10 mins, or 1 minute. Sometimes crashes even when loading up the saved game. Tried adding this line to the .ini file--iNumHWThreads=2---made no difference. Have searched various forums, and tried various options, still no good. Running Win 7 with 4mb memory and all drivers patched to latest ones. Have also sent various files back to Bethseda but they have been pretty unhelpful. What else can i enlighten you with? Any suggestions would be greatfully received. Cheers.

I don't know if this will help you, but I was having the same problem. I went into my Windows 7 and disabled the compatibility crap. Check this website? Hope that helps? I did this after uninstalling both the game and Steam. and deleting all files pertaining to both. Then I reinstalled Steam and the game and put all of my mods back. So far the game hasn't crashed or locked-up upon exiting the game, like it was beforehand. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxan_1 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi, NV has the same issues with ctds like F3. Here you have a tweak guide for the ini file (it is F3 but NV is the same): http://www.tweakguides.com/Fallout3_3.html There is also a 3GB Ram enabler here at the Nexus, this one is very helpful too.
