Hi,

I have bought the Fallout 3 GOTY edition and i have installed the first disc. I have also put the second disk in and, after 15 minutes or so, it allowed me to install that too. However it questions if it was correctly installed or not.

Anyhow when i go to the menu of the game and ask start a new game it, immediately, crashes.

I know there have been many faults with the GOTY edition but does anyone know of a solution to fix this problem or know what the problem is?

I would much appreciate any help on this matter and thank you for having the time to read this.

Thank you and have a good one

You will need a better laptop, that has a dedicated 3D graphics CARD in it that was actually designed for game playing, or a normal gaming desktop, with its own add-on graphics card in place.

Fair game haha

Well, thank you for all your help. Its much appreciated
