Kataspie Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 First off, I know there are a lot of threads about this topic. Yes, I have read them and yes I tried the solutions in them. Unfortunately, Fallout 3 still crashes during the introduction cutscene. My system specs are: Graphics Card = NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 TIOperating System = Windows 7 64 bit (I'm also aware of compaitibility issues)CPU = Intel Core i7 (one thing does occur to me which is the multi core bug, will try that one when I am less tired) every other possible solution I can find I have tried to no avail. I even tried turning off the UAC just so that FOMM could get into the file. I'm approaching my wits end. The thing that bites most is that I have played with game before and LOVE it. So my question is, can anyone think of anything else I can try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintii Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The only thing I can think of is that it's mod messing with you ... have you unchecked ALL of your mods and tried starting the game ... does it work then ?If so then through a process of elimination activate your mods one by one until it crashes and so you've found the problem.I know you said that you've tried the solutions but nothing works, sorry if my low-brow solution doesnt work either. I'm running; Graphics Card = NVIDIA GeForce 250 OS = windows 7 64 bit CPU = core i7 950 And I have no hassles. I'm planning on buying the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti – Maximum Graphics Edition, so I hope that upscaling my graphics card isn't going to give a problem.

The only thing related to mods I have is the DLCs that came with the GOTY edition. I also checked the load order of those files. Fallout3.esm was loading second not first, but I fixed that.

Yoghurt27 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Can you be more specific? Just what happens after you launch the game, at what stage it crashes and do you get any error messages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kataspie Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Can you be more specific? Just what happens after you launch the game, at what stage it crashes and do you get any error messages? Usually straight after the bit of the cut scene where The Lone Wanderer is born, just before the "choose your name and gender bit" Maybe crash is the wrong word. More like freezes and locks up. No error message and no return to desktop. I have to actually reboot my machine from the power button itself to get anywhere again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prandiningrat Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 try with to lower all settings, and windowed mode...also because there is bug with multicore you need to edit fallout.ini file...forcing reboot with power button will cause more problems, use (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and you will get to desktop to end the process via task manager(click on processes tab not application tab)., if windows still reading the files,forcing reboot will causing bad sector and or corrupted files(even your disk is new ). dont do it..

Yoghurt27 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Windowed mode would be a good start, at least you'll be able to shut the game down easy if it hangs. Also, if you use mods, some of them add items/notes etc to your inventory right after you activate them and start a game. So if you start a new game they will add these items during the 'birth' scene. And if there are some bugs in mods or conflicts between mods it cause your game to fall into stupor. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the advice. I knew that rebooting from the machine itself is not a good idea. The only thing was I could remember the key combination. I'll let you know how it goes.

Kataspie Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 SORRY. My computer screwed up and my post went twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kataspie Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Just thought I'd give those that helped an update. I turned down the graphics setting and put in the fix for the Multi Core bug and so far so good. I'm actually playing it. Fingers crossed that something else doesn't come up. Thank you.
