Fallout 3 dont like 64bits sadly I cant play smoothly : S

I run Fallout 3 on Vista x64 with no problem at all. I have problems with GTA IV though :sa:

i've also bought fallout 3 a week ago....ive uninstalled it 4 times and 4 times out of it i have gotten 'Fallout 3 has stopped working and needs to close' and i have tried what you guys have said....im re-downloading patches out of the wazu just to see if one of them was it...so far no

hello chken2bad,
After you have patched the game to the latest patch, try a no CD patch.
I had the same problems as you and this fixed it for me.
Good luck and post your results, thanks.

ok i uninstalled it....then installed it. Then i patched with cd, went to start game....it goes about to were the clock is at 2 ticks before bottom then black screen and 'windows has encountered a problem and needs to close'....then i uninstalled it again then re-installed it...patched it with cd. went to new game and goes to 2 ticks before bottom then black screen and same as before..... =(

Can you list your system specs.

 

[stoneys-nutz]

This is from the Bethesda Forum, this is what you are up against.


"And to answer your question, it is ALWAYS a hardware, installation, or codec issue. The game itself is at no fault at all."

 

[chken2bad]

i bought this as a birthday gift for me but i am also fairly new to the whole Vista thing...

Dell Inspirion
Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU @2.00Ghz 2.00Ghz
Memory: 3.00 Gb
System type: 32-bit operating system

That what you needed?

 

[stoneys-nutz]

Here are the min specs from Bethesda.
I'm not sure, but your CPU may be the culprit here, or at the very least, it's not helping things.
What graphics card do you have ?.


Minimum System Requirements:

• Windows XP/Vista
• 1GB System RAM (XP)/ 2GB System RAM (Vista)
• 2.4 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
• Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 256MB RAM (NVIDIA 6800 or better/ATI X850 or better)

Problem #1 : Fallout 3 crashing / Fallout 3 crash to desktop (ctd) | Fallout 3 crashing at the start of the game
Solution : (from Bethesda website)
1. Click Start
2. Click “All Programs” (or just Programs, depending on the version of Windows, whether they’re using “classic,” etc.)
3. Go to the ffdshow folder.
4. Click “Audio decoder configuration.”
5. In the left hand pane, click “Info & debug.” This is the second entry in the list.
6. In the right hand pane, near the bottom, find a check box labelled “Don’t use ffdshow in:”
7. Check that box, and in the text box underneath (it lights up when you check the check box), add “fallout3.exe” (don’t include the quotes). If there is already something in that box, put a semi-colon ( ; ) after what’s already there, and fallout3.exe after that. Do NOT use spaces, since ffdshow will think that’s part of the filename. A valid entry would be “explorer.exe;fallout3.exe” (without quotes).
8. Finally, click “Ok” and start Fallout 3.

another issue could be DEP shutting it down (date execution prevention) or it could be a securerom isuue (the games anti piracy software)

Hmmm, I was going to buy the fat boxset with all the expansions coming out soon Have you patched Fallout fully? There were like 5 or 6 patches.

 

[chken2bad]
