Hey guys i am having to rebuild my system cuz there is a bug in it. I have a back up so its not a big deal but the only thing is i dont want to lose my progress in Fallout 3. I just want to no if there is anyway i can just copy a folder that has all the saved game progress in it to my external hard drve.

Yes, I think you'll find the save files somewhere under My Documents (look for My Games or somesuch).

The location is : C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Fallout3\Saves.

Try moving one saved game back and forth to check if this is the right folder.

works great for me ...Ultra high detail at 1280-1024 rez ... some stuttering cause of my weak CPU 4400+ will upgrade soon :)

It work very well with Windows 7 especially when using ALT-TAB

After a lot of frustration i finally got it working on Win 7 64 bit.

After having tried just about every solution in here, to no avail, i was ready to give up.

But then i trawled the Application Log in Windows and found this little gem:

Code:

Faulting application name: Fallout3.exe, version: 1.5.0.22, time stamp: 0x49cd1e54
Faulting module name: CLAUD.ax, version: 5.0.0.924, time stamp: 0x3f7176b0
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0002df54
Faulting process id: 0x1654
Faulting application start time: 0x01c9dae305a5dbf4
Faulting application path: F:\Gamez\Fallout 3\Fallout3.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\Shared Files\AudioFilter\CLAUD.ax
Report Id: 507981da-46d6-11de-8ca0-00248c189b93

Notice the line:

Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\Shared Files\AudioFilter\CLAUD.ax

Turns out the PowerDVD player was at fault all the time.
After uninstalling it, Fallout works perfectly.

yeah, great, after i posted in this thread that Fallout works great in win7 64 now i get random crashes :/ , sometimes it simply freezez then comes back or goes to desktop then back ingame :/ ...

goddamn win7

random crashes are a mainstay of BethSoft. I don't think they even fixed the 'exit game' crash in oblivion yet.......

The crash on exit bug here is Games for Windows Live. I disabled it through some trickery and the game runs fine now.
