My Friend Can't Play Fallout3 on his comp

[soulknightX]

I gave my friend my PC copy of Fallout3: GOTY to install to his computer after installing the game he tried to start a new game and it did a CTD EVERY time he tried to start a new game on Fallout He installed the DLC and it still did the same thing so i decided to give him a copy of one of my saves and see if that did the trick and again another CTD after a while of thinking i deducted that it must be his computer since he has a HP Pro Book Laptop and I think his comp wasn't build to play games like Fallout 3 is there a way that he will be able to play Fallout 3 on his HP Pro Book or should he just give up?

 

and on a side note: he says that modding is almost like cheating is he right or wrong?

 

please help out

Well, a laptop isn't exactly the kind of computer you should play games on at any rate. Let alone the fact that HP isn't exactly known for high-end systems. Did he download the latest patch for Fallout 3.

Your friend obviously doesn't knows what he's talking about. Let him try a mod like FWE, MMM, IMNC or any other mod that severely increases the difficulty of this game and ask him again. :whistling:

Well soulknightX, the HP Pro comes in two flavors, the Radeon HD 4330 and the Intel GMA 4500MHD, and neither one should have a problem running Fallout 3.

 

Having said that, it now all depends as to whether or not it's a copy or the real deal discs, cos, copies normal give problems, what say you ?

[soulknightX]

i think he has the Radeon HD 4330 and i have a legit copy of F3 it just wont work on his comp but yea F3 work perfectly on my comp and i have a Compaq Pesario CQ62 and what i found really weird is his HP ProBook wont play F3 but play Oblivion -.- its really getting confusing for him

I don't know about that, but sharing your CD is cheating.
