after loading my fallout 3 save game crashes after less then 5 minutes. The longest time i played without crash was about 20 minutes and that was only once. Now i can't even play for more than 5 minutes. I am sure my computer can run it because i can run many other games on high settings without bugs(oblivion too and it has same engine). It is GOTY version so all 5 dlcs are included.

so here is what i tried: -many of codec packs which seems to work for some people didn't for me
-tried that quad core in .ini file fix even if i have dual core processor (well didn't know what to do anymore)
-reinstalled atleast 5 times and started 3 new games
-updated my video and sound card drivers
-forced vsync off in .ini
-disabled AGP texture acceleration in dxdiag
-lowered my hardware sound acceleration level in dxdiag
-tried to play in windowed mode
-lowered resolution and other settings
-tried unofficial patch
-tried to play it with games for windows live installed and without it( when played without i did it once with games for windows live disabeled, and when it didn't worked i downloaded some .dll files to make it work)
-tried cleanboot

that is all i can remember now but probably tried more i have simmilar problem with fallout new vegas too so i guess if i fix this i can fix new vegas same way anyone knows what else i could try i would really like to play this game but with this crashes it's totally unplayable i wouldn't mind even if it crashes every one hour but here i'm talking about 5 minutes or even less.

ps. it is windows xp sp3

really nobody knows some another fix???

[censored] it's getting even worse i can't kill single enemy because it crashes if i use vats or pip boy


aaahhh [censored] this is too much now i spent much much more time in trying to repair this [censored] of game then i got gameplay time it's not fun any more i'd like to play game but can't play it like this i'm giving up

Well first things first. Swearing around isnt going to get your issue fixed. And secondly it might help if you posted some info other than the fact your running XP like maybe.... your Video Card.. Ram.. CPU stuff like that
