Fallout 3 on Windows 7.

[holo88]

hey. can anyone get me the registry values for the game explorer for fo3?
i've tried reinstalling it but it wont show up there.
i know it should be in:
Computer > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft> Windows > CurrentVersion > GameUX > Games

thanks in advance

Not gonna dig through all of the pages, but nVidia drivers can be a cause in Win7

Windows 7 & NVidia 181.71 driver workaround problem - Bethesda Game Studios Forums

I have sacrificed things to all types of dark deities, yet Fallout 3 is still giving me grief:

PC #1---> Intel Win 7, build 7000, using 2x ATI 3870x2's with one monitor on each card (so dual displays... yes, I know).

Game installs but refuses to load, as per previous issues that people have had. I get a minimised window, when I click on it, it brings up the "has stopped working... Windows is checking" and then it just disappears into Oblivion (haha... geddit?).

FRESH install of the OS, all I've installed so far is Firefox, Ventrilo and Windows Live Messenger. Have not tried unplugging a monitor yet, mostly because it is a pain in the butt to crawl back there and my wife would get mad because she uses the second monitor.

Any new news on this issue besides unplugging the sucker? And if it's something to do with editing .ini or whatever like I read before, can someone post up the cliffnotes here because I'm confused as heck. I did edit the registry thing through the command prompt, didn't help.

-

PC #2 ---> Intel, Using a single ATI 4870, Windows Vista 64 (Yeah, it's not 7, I know(. Game crashes on exit, and occasionally during play - usually an hour or so into playing it'll crash, requiring me to start the game again.

Anyone find a solution to this one? Driving me freaking mad...

Fallout 3 seems to be working just fine for me. I installed it and patched it to the newest version. I have the newest Nvidia drivers as well.

I solved all my Fallout3 problems by limiting the usable cores to just 2 out of the 4 I have. (edited an .ini)
No problems since, not even 1 crash.

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

 

[yannis18]

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.

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

Wow got it working

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:

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

 

[holo88]

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

 

[mctaff]

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