Some people say turning your nvidia 3d settings from "quality" to either "balanced" or "performance" helps but I didn't have to do that. I kind of wish my draw distance was maxed out but I'm much happier with no crashes than looking good for 10-15 minute intervals. I'm running at 1920x1200 and it looks plenty good. I installed the newest version of FFDShow I put my graphics at high rather than ultra (ultra causes crashes after like 10 minutes usually) I turned OFF AA/AF (also sucks, but literally turning them on crashes me often) There are "known" bugs with 8 series nvidia cards apparently, I tried new beta drivers and the crashes got worse, but with the 169.12 drivers (slightly old) I'm rock solid. Turn on vertical sync in the options (sucks but it worked) It lags every now and then, which used to result in a crash, but not any more. I was having a lot of problems with FO3 but I did a few things and now I literally don't crash ever, even after a couple of hours of playing. I should also mention every other game I have installed on my system has run flawlessly without any crashing, including Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Company of Heroes, World in Conflict, TF2, HL2 etc etc The initial patch released by Bethesda only fixes a bug where the game crashes when you try to exit it, unfortunately it hasnt resolved my ingame freezing issues. Pretty sad, but what can you do about it. Unfortunately I am experiencing the exact same situation as the OP, and as a result I've been forced to play FO3 in windowed mode with all the eye candy turned off, because when it freezes in fullscreen, I cant get to task manager to kill the fallout process. What I find really amusing is, people on X360 and PS3 are also experiencing freezing.
When you want to click on play, launch MaximizedWindow shortcut and then click play, depending on the timeout you gave the program to close the window mode will disappear.Fallout 3 crashing is a well known problem, just check out the Bethesda forums and you will find that many many many people are experiencing similar problems, as well as dozens of other issues. To launch the game, first click on the game shortcut, the menu should appear, go to options and select Windowed mode. So if your game res is 1280 x 1024, your Desktop res should be the same, and you will write the next big res in the MaximizedWindow shortcut. What you need to do is this \MaximizedWindow.exe" 10 1280 1024ġ0 : is the timeout (the game won't maximized until the dos box disappears)ġ2 are the resolution set to make the windowed disappear (it should be set a one res higher) Now right click on MaximizeWindow shortcut and click properties, in "target" box, the last line should be this : \MaximizedWindow.exe" Remember if you did set your game resolution at 1024 x 768, the Windows Desktop resolution should be at 1024 x 768 First, I think you added the lines in the shortcut of MaximizeWindow.
