[PC] Fallout 3 won't run game saves!

I am trying to play my fallout 3 on my PC and whenever I try to load a new game or continue a game, as well as load, it will load for a little bit then crash. (My PC Specs are below and this was left out, my hard disk memory is 500GB)

Hello ppezpez

1. Try this:
1. Click Start
2. Click “All Programs”.
3. Go to the ffdshow folder.
4. Click “Audio decoder configuration.”
5. In the left hand pane, click “Info & debug.” or "DirectShow control".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.

Let me know what happened

If this doesnt work try this:


-Open the folder My documents / My Games / Fallout3
-Edit the file FALLOUT.ini.
-Inside FALLOUT.ini look for a group called [general].
-Inside the general group, after all the configuration parameters, just copy and paste the following 2 lines:

bUseThreadedAI=1
iNumHWThreads=2

Now close and save the Fallout 3 configuration file.

I can't find a "ffdshow" folder, sadly enough, and I tried putting in these:

bUseThreadedAI=1
iNumHWThreads=2

but they didn't seem to effect it.

uhhhh....
