IndorilTheGreat Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 So, I just bought Fallout 3 today, and I was looking forward to blowing somethings head off, but alas, I am unable to even launch the game. When I get into the launcher, I click play, and the screen goes black like it normally does before a game, and then it CTD's. I then recieve the now-infamous crashing message: "Fallout 3 has encountered an error and has needed to close. We are sorry for any inconvieniences." I've tried just about everything, except updating my drivers, which shouldn't be necessary, as they are already up-to-snuff. I've even tried emailing Bethsoft, but I don't expect to get a response anytime soon. I think I have better luck here. Any help would be appreciated. :thanks: Cheers,gman021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skotte Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Did you get an error about a missing .DLL file? When I first tried to run FO3 I lacked a "dxd9_38.dll" might try looking for the latest Direct X . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be willing to pay $100 USD for a game either. However, that's what gift cards are for... :thumbsup: I feel extremely stupid now. It's no wonder I can't run Fallout 3. My graphics card isn't good enough. >_< Apparently I was looking at the wrong number on my current card's box... *Sigh* That's what lack of sleep can do to you... :closedeyes: I'm hoping to get an ATI Radeon HD 3850 soon though. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
