CaptainRW Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Ok, so I install the game, and when I get to the menu and select new game it takes me to a load screen. It takes but a few moments for it to crash.I have Windows 7 and understand that Fallout 3 is not compatible with this OS. So, what can I do to make the game work?Suggestions please!

sgtsnorkles Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 System Specs:Intel i5 2.30 GHZMemory: 6 GBHD: 640 GB Also, compatibility mode? compatability mode, to do this, depends on how and where it was installed. The easiest method, go your fallout 3 file folder, find the fallout3.exe file, right click on it, select properties, a window will open, look for the conpatability tab, select, then check the box and use the drop down box to select the OS you want to use. I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, no campatability problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 It works fine on Win7, both 32 bit and 64 bit version. Whoever said it wouldn't, didn't know what they were talking about. Using the computer you plan to play the game onGo here to see if your computer can run the gamehttp://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ You will find the various game we support Skyrim listed as 'The Elder Scrolls V: SkyrimOblivion listed as 'The Elder Scrolls IV, OblivionFallout3 as Fallout3 PC Dragon Age listed as Dragon age: OriginsDragon Age 2 as Dragon Age IIThe Witcher as The WitcherThe Witcher 2 as The Witcher 2: Assassins of KingsFallout New Vegas as Fallout: New VegasMorrowind is not listed, However if you can run Oblivion at all it should run well on your system. The recommendations here are fairly conservative, So if it says you can run it, you probably can. But if it says you can't, you may be able to if you make some small improvements or shut down some background stuff. They are also not going to say You definitely can run it, only that your computer meets the minimum requirements to play it, and not how well it will play.
