Just bought Fallout 3...

Big fan of Oblivion IV, even if it had some issues with occasional crashes. So I bought Fallout 3. First time played, some odd pixelation issues cropped up. Downloaded the latest patch, and issues are gone. However, within 30 minutes of playing, Crashed to desktop. Heck I am still level 1, in the vault 101. No mods, nothing. Took a tour of Crash topics, and to be honest, I don't know if I have the energy - should this end up being a crash prone game - to "root out" the issues.

Just for reference, I have Windows XP Pro 2.8GHz Dual core; 1GHz memory (I know, that is low); and Nvidea GEforce 9800 GT with latest drivers.

 

So... the question is this? Should I return the game since it is less than 10 days since I got it?

Looking to see if there is consenses on the game play joy vs. frustration factor.

I had the problem of random crashes too, it would crash in random ways at random times, usually within 30 minutes and made the game extravigantly aggrivating to try and play, this is what fixed it for me

If you do do it then make sure you follow the instructions, actually remove all the codec's and let k-lite remove anything it finds and reset all the settings that it wants too

 

Ever since i did this it hasnt crashed even once, hope it works for you, cheers!
