Sentorum Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I recently bought Fallout 3 with ignorant hopes to play it with ease on Windows 7. To my surprise, the game restarted the computer every few minutes. Confused, I scanned the internet in hopes of solving this problem. As it seems, many people have had the same problems I have encountered and have certain numbers of solutions to solve the problems. I have tried nearly every one of the solutions I could find, but they just made it worse! The solutions I have attempted are: Went into the fallout.ini file under "My Documents" - "My Games" - "Fallout" and making the changes:bUseThreadAI=1iNumHWThreads=2 Downloaded the patch d3d9.dll Disabled hyperthreading Launched the game, hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, right clicked on fallout.exe, and chose properties. I went into the compatibility tab and chose Windows XP Starter Pack 3 (as this didn't work I also tried everything from Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 2000). I also checked the box that says "run as administrator". Right clicked on the Fallout 3 Launcher and chose "troubleshoot compatibility". I did the recommended settings, this also didn't work. After all of this didn't work I simply ran as administrator and chose Windows XP Starter Pack 2. The simple approach also didn't work. For those who wish to see the system I am using, look below: Windows 7 Home EditionProcessor: Intel Core i7 CPU 2.83 GHzRAM: 6.00 GBSystem Type: 64-bitGraphics Card: NVIDIA GeFORCE 6800 So far all I know is that Fallout 3 is finicky when it comes to Windows 7 and multiple cores... Don't you wish Bethesda would do something about ALL of these problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentorum Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Is this a problem that happens a lot or am I the only one... just pretty darn confused at why I'm having a problem that I can't find the fix to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osuirof Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 But the sad truth is that Fallout 3, is very crash-prone, and crashes at random a lot, even when\in places, that it didn't crashed before. And it only gets worse as your playtime grows longer."Funny" thing - DLC world-spaces are quite stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
