The game crashes when i press play, i have the latest nvidia drivers and the beta patch, wtf bethesda!

FX 8350
GTX 660
12GB RAM
Windows 7

I don't know. Do you have Win7 64bit? requires 64bit OS to play.

Yes 64 bit

Restart the pc, try to run it as admin, put all options to low in the launcher... don't know :/

Press Play untill it plays....

Skyrim did the same thing back on release for me

Yeah i tried everything, after i press Play it says it stopped working, here is the error:

FFS wtf is wrong with this, did a clean reinstall of nvidia drivers too

In the past - other people reported this same problem with battlefield 4 and Dead rising:

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/773318/pc-games/dead-rising-3-random-crashes-/1/

Solution there was to load an older NVidia driver.

Yeah still not working, wtf i don't know what to do anymore

I had that problem too. I tried starting the game from its folder, then it said some files were missing. I downloaded those and put them in the game folder, the game can run now, but ingame and menu sounds seems not to.

Yeah i tried everything, nothing works, don't know if it's nvidia or bethesda, or both, most ppl on nvidia gpu seem fine, yet some still crash, even on amd, fix it pls!!!

I have the same issue, I am able to open the game launcher, but when I press play the game goes to a full black screen with a loading mouse icon.

I don't understand because I am able to play the game fine in windowed mode.

Game loads up "Please Stand By" screen and then Crashes to Desktop everytime for me.

Updated my drivers, restarted, etc. (I am AMD, not NVidia)

Forum won't let me paste my dxdiag, but system good enough to run at ultra (and tried turning settings down)

Edit: Tried windowed mode, does not work.

Tried beta install of FO4, does not work. Same problem.

I'm having the same problem. I hope this isn't like Dragon Age: Inquisition, where I couldn't play full screen on a laptop.

Getting a similar crash, but not actually a crash according to event viewer. Gave the files a review and am currently redownloading about 4 gigs. Will report back with findings in about 20m

Speef22 just pm'ed me and instructed me to start the game in window mode and it worked. You can set the screen to your native resolution too.

Nothing works, i already told you lol, nothing solves the nvwgf2umx.dll error

Same issue.

Win 8 enterprise 64

AMD 7900 series - fully up to date

Play, get to 'Please stand by' screen, plays for about 2 seconds, then crashes to desktop.

Tried all different settings and resolutions, windowed, not windowed, low, med, high - same result.

Installed Beta via steam - same results.

Game rushed i guess, or bad PC optimization, gg bethesda once again

How'd you install the beta from Steam? It's asking me for a code...

I installed older Nvidia drivers and it works so far, try it!

I got the same problem:

my GPU may be slightly too old, but i think the game should start anyway.

GTX 260 here.

Nothing worked so far, when i click "play" windows tells me that fallout has stopped working.

Launcher also tells me that my GPU cant be recognized.

iam trying to install an older nvidia driver.

I got the same problem on geforce 840M. And the response I get from one of administrators in this topic (http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1545116-fallout-4-wont-work/ ) was " Sodel - Unfortunately your GPU doesn't meet minimum specs, and this may cause problems launching the game."
