hey havin problems with fallout 3. i try to start a new game, but after i click new game and the laoding screen pops up the game crashes. im not to good with computers at the moment, so its probably really easy to solve. i tried reinstalling the game but it still does it. i also deactivating all the mods and DLC's and then i turned down the quality and, then deleted the FALLOUT.INI file. then i started the game clicked new game and it crashed in the laoding screen again. i would really appreciate any help anyone can offer. thanks

I have a ... possible method that might work.

 

Now, bear in mind that this isn't 100% safe - maybe 90% or so, though. It worked for me, anyway. :wink:

 

Basically, what you do is, you download the d3d9.dll file from the link provided. Then, paste it into the main installation directory of your game (the one that has the actual game file/launcher). If the problem you have is one to do with the video card you have (namely, if it's an integrated, Intel (HD) video card, or any other unsupported video card), then the file in question will make the game read as though you have a supported video card.

 

Again, I repeat - this is NOT necessarily safe. I do not guarantee it, and you should only use it if you feel that playing the game is worth the rather minor chance you take of something going wrong.

 

In fact, I'll post the relevant quote from my own thread about this:

 

Okay' date=' yeah - the d3d9.dll file addition method worked. Perfectly, at that - I've been playing for some time, and I've yet to see any problems.

 

Given how the file was linked by a member of this site in a thread in this sub forum itself (the title was something like 'Brand new game install', and the link was provided by eric31415), and that the general problems really don't apply (namely, it's not a virus, it's not a bandage for a larger problem, it's not from a dll download site, and it's MEANT to be outdated), I feel comfortable linking it here as a possible solution to the problem.

 

NOTE** This does NOT mean that I consider this perfectly safe, nor am I guaranteeing it's authenticity. I'm simply saying that this COULD work, and if you're frustrated enough (or desperate enough), you might as well try it out. You do so at your own risk, however - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

 

Here: d3d9.dll

 

Link provided. Credit for this method goes, as mentioned, to eric31415. If you must thank/blame anyone, it's him.
