thebic4 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Im running fallout 3 vanilla with the most recent patch on my HP probook. The probook has an i5 processor and has 4 gigs of ram. The game is should run fairly fine on medium settings. Anyways when i go to start my new game it loads for about 3 seconds then crashes. I forgot to mention i am running windows 7 professional on my school laptop (don't worry its ok) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Did you happen to look at the system requirements for Fallout 3? You are propably having a problem due to the fact that you do not have a dedicated graphics card as opposed to an integrated graphics chip.

Purr4me Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) looking up the information now: Edit: ok looks Like I need just a tad more info, seems this line of note books , they produced a playing cards deck worth of darivitives, too many flavors to narrow down even by chance. IN tell Video chip sets are well known not to play nice with this game if at all, I have seen on such machine play all games except this one. the nexus has a author whom has uploaded a dll file that is supposed to fix an audio glitch, it may also fix your problem too. ?? I'll go find the link for that,-> {HP ProBook 6560b LQ579...$1492.95Office DepotHP ProBook 6560b QW16...$1782.67pcRUSH.comHp Probook 6560b Noteb...$1660.88eBayHP ProBook 6560b QY56...$1588.93Rakuten.com...HP ProBook 6560b ‑ Core...$727.99CostCaptain....) these are what I found. just to get an idea of what you have. OR you can down load specy from Piraform.com and post a read out of your systems hardware in a Paste bin.com txt file, and link it in here.http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download that would hasten up things a bit. kitty.

Si if we need more information as to it not working, you will have it. also try windowed mode, get fake full-screen after this process if it does not work, you can use window mode and have a full screen game, your not alone the the HP HD graphics bug. a lot of people have this issue.

Purr4me Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 it works! you've been amazing thank you for taking the time to help me!I really am not here to give advice, but If I were? back it all up into an iso image, the whole works as you now have it. and store it safe some where. Off the main PC encase of hard drive corruption. this saves days if not weeks of hair pulling. Kitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
