My fallout 3 was working just fine and dandy until I decided to signup for live so I could get the DLC's and then it forced me to update my fallout 3 (does the same thing when I uninstalled/reinstalled and used the update from bethesda's site.) and now whenever I try to launch it it gives me the crash. I've tried the fix with the d3d9.dll, editing my fallout.ini, and also running in compatability mode/as administrator and nothing works. I can run skyrim on ultra settings with no lag or crashes so I know it isn't that my system is crappy. Any help please?
