re: #599 No Country For Old Haters

I’ve been trying to play Fallout 3, since the FO 4 announcement got me excited about the franchise. I’m finding FO3 to be so buggy on the PC that it’s unplayable. I had 3 crashes, and 2 freezes in my first few hours of playing, then I gave up. My PC is stable with current games. Maybe video driver changes broke this old game.

Try the Fallout 3 Tweak Guide. I play FO3 on a homebuilt PC running two NVIDIA GTX 550ti cards with the latest drivers and it works very well after some .ini file tweaks. As you know, the game cannot be rendered crash free. I always thought that the game should give you a super Perk when you reach 500 crashes or 1000 freezes.
