Freeze freeze and more freeze

Post » Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:49 am

Playing Fallout 3 GOTY on PC. It's an alienware that costs about $4,000 and has very good graphics cards and whatnot. I've had the game for a few months now with the most up to date patches. I know its not an issue related to having a crappy videocard that does not or barley meet the reqs but the issue I'm having is it is constantly freezing....and I mean constantly. Almost everytime I'm in someones house or a small building it will freeze randomly or it will freeze while loading going into the building or while loading exiting. The only way for me to fix this so far is to control-alt-delete and open taskbar and end the fallout program which is then listed as not running on the task bar. Then I have to start up the game and load from last save. I am constantly quicksaving every 15-20 seconds while in a house as it can freeze at any moment. This is extremley aggrivating as I figured by now they would of fixed this with a patch. If someone wants certen computer specs listed then please tell me how to find it as I am not very good with computers and finding that type of stuff. thanks.

Have you tried searching for one of the thousand other posts on this topic? There is quite a lot of information on this out there, many fixes, and much wrong info.

It could be too many mods. You might need a specific mod. Could be audio drivers. Could be your power supply. Could be a windows update screwed your pooch.

Seriously, look around in some of the related forums around here. I have made the same suggestions to people 3 times today and don't feel like repeating myself, but don't want to leave you hanging.

I've read the other posts and they don't make any sense
