Default Random CTDs in Fallout 3
What the hell.

Thats all I have to say.
I'm afraid to go through doors, fast travel, see the loading screen and save games. Every time I do any one of these, CTDs have a 60% chance of appearing.

Crash to desktops.

I've checked my mods, and they don't seem to clash in anyways, and should be overridden. I started like 3 new characters. Wham, after like 2 levels, doors, loading screens and saves become dangerous.

This is why I do all my gaming on playstation3 now. I dont do it on the computer BECAUSE of this reason.

Have you installed the newest patch? Tried running it without your mods? Also make sure you are using the latest drivers for your hardware (graphics drivers, sound, ect..).

I've never had that problem with Fallout, even in the 60+ hours i'm into it now.

I'm glad I got the 360 version really, despite my PC being as powerful as it is.

Yeah, I have the latest patch. Yes I have the latest drivers.

And as far as specs go, I've seen people with much better specs crashing randomly too.
Anyways this is all I can remember of mine.
3.06Ghz Intel Pentium 4 (Single core)
1.5GB RAM
Windows XP SP3
Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT


I played about 2 hours each before crashing. Plus I have the game immersion thing where saving is like not breathing for a couple of minutes.

Hello Blitz

I can tell you that Fallout 3 does not like the newer surround sound features most new sound cards have. Things like DS3D Gx cause it to crash out in the way your describing.

Turning off surround sound and any DS3D Gx features and reverting to PCM stereo reduced my crashes from about the same as you are having all the way down to zero.

I had my first crash today in over a week and that came after installing the 1.4 patch via windows games live. Only had it installed a day so its too early to say if it broke anything new. All I know is windows games live has a habbit of corrupting files i download and i had to download the 1.4 patch via windows games live.

Scarey stuff.

All the best, hope the tip above works for you.
