Fallout 3 on Windows 7.

Fallout 3 randomly crashes for me on Windows 7. Doesn't matter too much though, as I still like the originals much more.

sooo.. all permissions were verified, and I removed the xp compatibility mode to ensure I was operating under the same environment as before.

if I directly click on fallout3.exe, no issues. directly double click on falloutlauncher.exe (so I can tweak video settings and so on).. no issues.

If I use steam to start the game and run fallout3 launcher... fail.

that's a bad steam. a very bad steam!

create a shortcut to falloutlauncher.exe to bypass steam and run the launcher and thus the game = flawless victory.

The anti-stutter plug in and quick exit plug ins are excellent for Fallout and Oblivion as well.

You need the script extender however (FOSE). It does work with Steam copies.

If you have a D2D version however, it will not & never will.

Oh no, another Windows 7 CO3 post! :(

Hello everyone,

Firstly my apologies for yet another Windows 7 crash, I have been following this thread with interest and held back from posting until I believe I had tried everything but its still not playing ball. Sadly I have never been able to get FO3 to run successfully.

The problem is typical of many others, click new game and Fallout crashes to black screen and desktop.

The game is Fallout 3 - GOTY Edition, bought via Steam and upgraded.

Things I have tried:

# Running Fallout.exe in various compatibility modes, currently as Windows Vista
# Disabled desktop composition
# I don't have any off the wall codec packs installed
# Disabled UAC
# ini hacks for multi core processors
# Disabled / upgraded sound drivers and devices
# Upgraded ATI GPU drivers
# Running the game in windowed mode / low res etc
# Upgraded GFWL and logged in successfully
# De-installed a number of bloatware items that came with my machine that might be causing issue (HP Media stuff mostly)
# Running the prog "InstalledCodecs" and disabling the all
# Putting the desktop into basic theme
# Deleting ini files and letting FO3 rebuild
# Downloading again and reinstalling
# Launching the game directly (not via steam)

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I don't hold out much hope as I believe I have tried anything but hopefully I have missed something. Its also good to post these things as maybe something I have tried will help others.

as near as I could figure it, once it made the ini file in my games\ fallout 3 folder, it couldn't process it for some reason. delete that ini, it goes through the "fallout 3 will now detect your video settings" song and dance again and then the game will launch... that time. exit and relaunch and the error returns.

I read through almost all of this and many other threads and found a lot of people were fixing their problem of crashing while in game by running in xp or vista mode. I have had no issues while in game (so far, knock on wood), but clicking the "more information" button when you get the stopped working error told me the fault was in the launcher itself.

I set the launcher to run in XP SP3 mode and so far I've got it to come up without fail over a dozen times. the only problem is that win7 now asks every time I launch the game "do I want this program to make changes to my computer". a little annoying, but not the end of the world.

I tried the windows basic mode suggested above, as well as many other suggestions in all that I read and this is the only thing that (seems to have) worked for me.

The weird thing about this, is indeed that everyone seems to be having different problems... for instance, I have the Steam version as well (though not GOTY, I got the DLC after I purchased the game) and the loader works fine. My black screen was after the loader had done it's thing, and would occur even if i skipped it. But, though I have not had any problems with the game's own loader, I quite often skip it, instead I use the Fallout Mod Manager, which acts as a loader in itself, bypassing the game's built in one. You could go get that, and spare yourself the hassle of deleting the file every time you launch the game. Or just use the 'Fallout3.exe' as the shortcut instead of 'FalloutLauncher.exe' or Steam's generated shortcut. (they are both in Fallout 3's install directory, under steam/steamapps/common/) See, Fallout 3's copy protection and such is tied only to the loader, but the game's exe will look directly to the DLL for settings if you skip the launcher. If you skip it, you don't even need Steam or anything running. And skipping it is perfectly doable once you have your settings the way you like them.

Also, how Steam works with compatibility mode, if you are launching through Steam, (this includes shortcuts generated by Steam, you'll note that it does not link to the game's exe if you view properties, instead it is "steam://rungameid/22300") you have to set STEAM to compatibility too, not just the game. It's weird, but that's how it works. I have Steam set to Windows XP compatibility mode for a different game, and have had no problems with leaving it that way, despite Steam warning you otherwise the first time you try launching after setting it. Just hit cancel, and continue on.

*edit - oh, heh, I see now you discovered all this on your own. I got an email with your first post, but not any subsequent ones. :p But you may still be able to use Steam to launch it if you set it to compatibility mode. as mentioned, if a game is set to compatibility mode, Steam needs to be set to it as well. Though the reverse is not true.

Hello everyone,

Firstly my apologies for yet another Windows 7 crash, I have been following this thread with interest and held back from posting until I believe I had tried everything but its still not playing ball. Sadly I have never been able to get FO3 to run successfully.

The problem is typical of many others, click new game and Fallout crashes to black screen and desktop.

The game is Fallout 3 - GOTY Edition, bought via Steam and upgraded.

Things I have tried:

# Running Fallout.exe in various compatibility modes, currently as Windows Vista
# Disabled desktop composition
# I don't have any off the wall codec packs installed
# Disabled UAC
# ini hacks for multi core processors
# Disabled / upgraded sound drivers and devices
# Upgraded ATI GPU drivers
# Running the game in windowed mode / low res etc
# Upgraded GFWL and logged in successfully
# De-installed a number of bloatware items that came with my machine that might be causing issue (HP Media stuff mostly)
# Running the prog "InstalledCodecs" and disabling the all
# Putting the desktop into basic theme
# Deleting ini files and letting FO3 rebuild
# Downloading again and reinstalling
# Launching the game directly (not via steam)

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I don't hold out much hope as I believe I have tried anything but hopefully I have missed something. Its also good to post these things as maybe something I have tried will help others.

Did you try to run the game without or not using Steam?

no worries Raye - so far my "fix" of a direct shortcut to the launcher or exe is working fine but it always good to have more info in case it decides to break itself somewhere down the line.

thanks to everyone that has posted solutions in this looooong thread and those that helped me directly.

Fallout 3 runs flawless to me with HD textures, and i am using SLI which is a pain to get it right on Bethesda Games.
What i do:
-Install Fallout 3 Stutter Remover
-Install CF Explorer Suite, and make fallout use more than 2 GB.
-Force V-Sync and Triple Buffering in Nvidia Control Panel.
-Change some settings in the .ini to force 60 FPS with the help of TweakGuides.
-Run in Realtime Priority (Context Menu is the best way, IMO)

And finally, remember that fallout 3 is extremely moddable, if you have got a problem there might be a mod to fix it. So search Fallout 3 Nexus and go ahead and try new things. Example: HD Audio Overhaul .

EDIT: PM me if you want some cool mods.

Yes, stutter remover is a excellent choice unless you have the D2D version.


Just thought of this, Im wondering if it might be a sorting issue for some?
Sometimes if DLC or a mod loads in the wrong order, it can cause the game to crash.

I have found for the most part, using FOMM helps a great deal. Check all the DLC you want and hit the autosort button.



2 other things I would like to mention: As it helped me with the Vanilla FO3.
When installing the game, do not let it start on its own. Browse the disc or folder for the setup.exe file, and right click it it.
Choose run in compatability mode for Vista SP2, and run it as admin.
After the game is installed, install the patch if needed.

For me, it was critical that the game installed in Vista compatability. It would install otherwise, but I had issues, as well as no Games menu shortcut.

Then , log into Windows live at the menu screen in game. Let it auto sign in for now.
Exit game, and restart.
Windows live may have additional patches, (I seem to recall one)

You do not have to play with a Live Account if you do not want too, I know many hate it. Once it patches you can log out and make a offline account.

It crashes because if there is a file conflict, the last one overrides the first.
For example:
DLC 1 Uses original w_wasteland.dds and Mod 1 uses modded w_wasteland.dds
The mod requires the modded w_wasteland.dds, so the original won't work.
If the Mod 1 is loaded first, then it would be replaced by the original one, which makes the mod not work and makes the game not work.

Load Order:
DLC 1) w_wasteland.dds (Original)
MOD 2) w_wasteland.dds (Modded)
w_wasteland.dds (Modded)
Load Order:
MOD 1) w_wasteland.dds (Modded)
DLC 2) w_wasteland.dds (Original)
w_wasteland.dds (Original)

My contribution / stuttering

Over the last 3 days I have read this entire thread, I'm sorry to say I don't have a solution to everyone's unique problems. All I can do is contribute to the list in hopes that my experiences will help narrow down the culprit and help put this to rest.

I recently installed FO3 on my Win7 Pro x64, never having done so before I expected the worst. To my surprise everything went great, the only thing I had to complain about was some minor stuttering whenever I panned around too fast in the outdoor environment, or when a car exploded. As picky as I am, I decided I wanted to try and fix this irritation, I should have left well enough alone. After playing for a couple weeks, and never crashing once, I updated my FFD Show and to the newest Nvidia drivers. This quickly put a halt to any future hopes of playing FO3. In a mad panic to restore my system to a playable state, I un-installed the updates to FFD show, and rolled back my Nvidia driver. Sadly this had no effect. FO3 was toast...

So, I re-installed 7 Pro x64 on another HD. The following is the sequence in which I did things, and after doing so, FO3 was just as playable as it was before (including my outdoor/explosion stuttering).

1) Install Win7 (Pro) x64 (obviously)
2) Install the Nvidia driver (the older one I was using, 196.21, NOT the latest 257.21 one from Nvidia's site)
3) Install Klite Codec pack v2.10

At this point I verified in device manager that all my hardware was recognized and functioning, It was. Basically using Windows default drivers for everything other than the video card(s).

4) Enable SLI (if applicable)
5) Install FO3

Something to note here: I do not have an original dvd (mine was lost/broken). So, I have a copy of the contents of the disc on one of my HDs, with a no-cd exe of the Fallout3Launcher.exe. Yes, I install the game from a HD location, not a disc, to another HD.

6) Copy in the DLC packs and use the launcher to activate them (if required)
7) Install the FO3 v1.5 update
8) Install the FO3 v1.7 update

I do not know why, but in the past when installing the 1.7 update immediately after a fresh install of FO3 I have had mixed results. Going from 1.5 to 1.7 has worked every time.

9) Play the game

In my case with dual 8800 GTX's in SLI (liquid cooled) I was able to run everything on the "Ultra" setting with 4x AA and 8x AF @ 1920x1200, (further specs available in my profile) these are the same settings I was able to use when I played the game in XP. I did have to re-route my "My Documents" folder in Windows to get FO3 to see my previous save games, but once that was done, everything worked as well as I could hope for.

Sorry for this lengthy post, I hope it sheds some light on the situation. Oh, and IF anyone knows how to fix my outdoor/explosion stuttering problem, I'm all ears! I did try cleaning out my saves directory as suggested by sygnus21.

PS. Im sorry to see that some of the original posters of this thread have stopped making posts, they seemed very knowledgable in with the subject. But I guess constantly being asked the same questions over and over by new users would get annoying...


I'm experiencing what i believe is referred to as stuttering in open areas outside. All my drivers are fuly updated and GOTY is patched to version 1.7, no mods. I have tried turning of the v-sync, both in game and forced through the nvidia controls, but nothing really changed. My system should be more than able to play the game problem free. Any ideas?
<-sys specs

Two things that's been suggested by me earlier in this thread...

If you have a large save folder for the game, clean it out to no more than the last five saves.

If you have the radio turned on, turn it off.

I had a problem with both micro stuttering and crashes and both these fixes worked for me so give it a try.

Also, I would highly suggest that anyone looking for help with issues dealing with the game look through this ENTIRE thread as there are many many suggestions which may have helped someone fix their issue(s).

Good luck.

I'm 99% shure that the loop I'm getting is because of permissions. What happens is I hit new game and it loads 1 slide then "stops working." I am pretty shure the program does not have permission to make changes in the Saved Games folder, making it go into the loop. How would I assign permission to the program? :sarc:

Crashes just after startup

Ok, I know you get a lot of 'my fallout 3 game keeps crashing on Windows 7' complaints, and I'm not usually one to add on to something without trying to fix it myself first. I've been told I'm a nerd, so I figured it should've been easy to figure it out.

I tried running it as admin on every compatibility mode listed. I tried to make it work using previous versions of Windows. That was a helpful hint from a microsoft guy, but, alas, it didn't work for me. I even installed Virtual Box, installed XP so I could duel boot, and I got a whole new mess of errors there. It won't even let me LAUNCH the game in XP. Go figure.

I'm almost certain it has something to do with the compatibility of Fallout3/Windows 7. Maybe they had a fight and dragged me into the middle of it. Who knows?

My video drivers and sound drivers are all up to date, and every other forum I have been to, which have been a lot, offer nothing else. I really don't want to wait until October to play Fallout again. I mean, I will. That's not a problem. Yay, Vegas! I just want to play it before then.

I'm not exactly sure what it is you're asking, or even what the issue is, but unfortunately, just about every suggestion to get the game going has been mentioned in this thread. If none has worked for you, sorry.

Also, it doens't help that you don't list system specs, or what the problem is....

See the first two guides in my signature.

Good luck.
