Hello again... i've been taking a break from Fallout 3 for Eq2 (IT IS NOT DEAD! Help revive the greatest game every made!!!!)


And i just wanted to ask, Gatling Laser+WMK+Dragonskin Tactical armor.... does it look kinda cool, or should i stick with the Tactical armor and m4?

Whatever seems coolest to you. If going for realism, the M4 is probably better.

Heh if you ever want to put the game on Hard/Difficult for real, insteed of changing damage values try this mod and its buddies

Goodbye rambo tactics, hello SEAL #$&$%& Team 6....

Had more of a fight with raiders with this than I did with the same number of super mutants with the original game. Had a blast.

Tech Support Needed: I have a Nvidia GeForce 9500 graphics card, but my motherboard has a built in 8200. I can't seem to switch between them so i can game without crashing, any ideas?

Bring up your start menu and RIGHT click on My Computer then select properties

Click your hardware tab then click on device manager

Go to Display adapters and open it up, right click on the video card you want to disable and select Disable.

can the outcast outpost be used as a safe place to store stuff like a owned house?

No clue actually.

Why remove the whole key? just don't touch it....

Yes, it makes a fine base of operations.

More Tech Support! My computer keeps freezing a lot, and i ran a virus scanner a million times and it only picked up cookies

that's great... do i have to kill the rest of the outcast or just use them as guards?

Freezing in general or freezing during playing Fallout 3?




You should be able to use them as guards. Non-hostile NPCs (with the exception of a couple of named bugged ones) don't pick up weapons or armor.

Usually in general, but every now and than freezes when building an RTS village (i really do nothing else until it's mostly done)

Hmm... a few things you can try.

1) Defrag your hard drive(s) this can fix some preformance problems.
2) Run Disk Clean Up, couldnt hurt.
3) Download, install and run the following programs
a.) Ad-Aware http://www.filehippo.com/download_ad-aware/
b.) Spybot search and destroy http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/

These programs go after the things that anti-virus programs often miss. Tracking cookies, spy ware, tracking cookies, and more.

What anti-virus are you using? If your using McAfree, ditch it and get this
Avast - AVG Anti Virus http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/

They have a free version as well and my brother swears by it, ive had good luck using it to, it is less invasive than other high end anti virus programs like Norten.

Or any of the PCTools range of anti-virus. They also give superb customer service (I found a workaround for a new bug once and they gave me 12 months subscription free)...

Now it won't even start:

List of Problems:

1. Monitor just sits blank whenever i press the power button

no others...i can't check if i have them because i can't start my computer

Ok, Im going to run through a few DFO switches just to make sure its not something simple.

1) Make sure the moniter is fully plugged into an outlet

2) Make sure the moniter is plugged into the correct video card slot
-you were trying to disable one video card to use another one.

3) Make sure the moniter is turned on

4) Make sure that the computer is actually powering up
[fan sounds from the power supply, cpu fan, computer beeps after a little bit]

If 1, 2 or 3 dont work, but 4 dose, you may have a problem with the video card that is enabled

If 4 dosnt work you may have a problem with the pc its self

My guess is that you disabled the video card for the port your moniter is plugged into switching it to another video port should give you something.

If not, you will need to see a tech

Just thought I'd say, you'll learn your way round eventually and figure out what you like, like I did, I find if word's fail, revolver to the face.

Motherboard issue.... great . Looks like i'll go without fallout 3 and my other games for a while.

You sure? How did you find out and what kind of issue?

Also if you need to get a new motherboard [which it sounds like you do] try www.newegg.com they have decent prices if you have the skill to put it together your self

Well i'm back... i found out that there was a motherboard issue. But now i discovered that it is fallout 3 itself, so i'm going to play without mods (and remove ALL files associated with them) and hope for the best.

Mods can be a bit of a problem, I'm led to believe.

Perhaps you should bounce a question either on the tech forum or mod forums...might help.

actually endurance effects big guns XD :facepalm:

NO SOUND?!!!!!!? I started a new game after removing all memory of mods from my computer, and when the lone wanderer was born he didn't cry...

I don't think my main character has cried...it hurts...the world is full of pain and he can't express it....

Damn...better go out and kill something....

Edit:

Fiddle with your settings...
