oqipo Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Yo, i just bought fallout 3 and it runs fine most of the time, but it will randomly freeze and i have to close it through task manager. i have yet to loose any saves or anything significant but its annoying to have to close the game, start it up again and load. i have C2Q 2.44 ghz and a 9800gt with 4 gigs of ram and my frame rate rarely drops below 30.the game doesnt even freeze when the action gets too intense, it usually freezes when im just walking around or looking through boxes or cabinets or whatever... any help would be much appreciated! :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circuitous Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Let's try that a different way: do you have any mods installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexxy Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 my system specs match yours , but with 8800GT and i get constant crashes also. I have already followed that link abover to the letter, plus many other forum threads, and sadly even with these specs for a pc, i lowered my crash rate to 1 per hour approx by runningfallout.ini setting to 1 corewindowedonly at 680x480 lowing Antialiasing and other anti right downcodec reset and klite basic installedturning off water optionspage file set adding fallout 3 to ffdshow configrestarted new game from scratchautosaves disabled totally... at least now with the things done above, i get at least 1 hour of play before i crash, so i make sure i manual save a lot........1hr is better than 10mins, and now it doesnt freeze, but crashes to desktop... but i sethingly hate having to run the game with such low res and settings on a pc like that, and when i want to enjoy it full screen at decently good quality....

oqipo Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 hey, i tried running it in a window and it was about 2 hours before it crashed again... so i think ill just stick with windowing unless the problem gets worse. thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinix Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hey guys i've been seeing alot of posts here about people having problems with crashing, and i remember having that first as well. what i did to fix this was install this app called installedcodecs, dont know if it's been mentioned or not, but after installing that i just disable all codecs that do not belong to microsoft or ati/nvidia and fallout 3 runs fine no crashes what so ever. this also got rid of choppy sound and stuff like that... chirping noise during loading and no bgm on the starting screen. so maybe you guys might want to try that? http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/installed_codec.html after gameplay you just enable them again.
