AndreGamer Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I know this may not be the place to post this, but I've tried everything I found on the Internet and I can't get the game to work. It crashes as soon as it's loading a new game. My computer has a Quad Core CPU and Windows 7 64 bit. I know about its incompatibilities but I've seen many people who claims they've manage it. Tried everything from editing fallout.ini, installing as "run as admin", to compatibility modes. I even downloaded some Directx versions and the latest patch for the game. If anyone knows what I need to do, please tell me, as I'm desperate to play this game. By the way, I play Oblivion, which is (if I'm not wrong) older than Fallout 3. Thanks in advance.

Valahul Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 First thing.. where did you install the game? and second.. what error message do you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have been running FO3 on a Win7x64 system from the beginning - NO problems relating to the OS, NO compatibility mode needed. 1. Don't install to the default location - The UAC protection is paranoid. I install all games to C:\Games\game-name - and my steam is there also - C:\Games\Steam - all steam games work fine there 2. Running as the administrator is not the same thing as running a particular program with administrator privileges _ thanks for that confusion Microsoft. :facepalm: Check here for how to run a program with administrator privileges. http://s1.zetaboards.com/bbenlibrary/topic/4912979/1/ 3. DO NOT add any mods or even patches until after you get the original copy of the game to run. Then get the official patches only from the original source - the Bethsoft website. 4.. If you have a stolen (pirate) version you are on your own - we cannot help and ban pirates here. We only support the legal version - pirated versions are not the same (no matter what the pirates say) and have their own strange problems.

AndreGamer Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ok, thanks for the assist! Really, this UAC stuff sucks, I don't know how I didn't realize this. By the way, I disabled it. Did I do wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
