For over two years, I have been searching the net for a suitable patch or an update about that [censored] crashes happening on random encounters during the game. And guess what, no slightest info is available, a solution which actually works so far by gamesas. I just want to know why the hell all those volunteer people in various software&game websites are trying to produce alternative solutions while you are sitting on your crouchy asses all the day/year?

All we want, all these faithful players, is that an offical patch or whatever to solve this famous win7 64 bit random crashes. I just don't want to wait for any more worthless ini file adjustments. just a standalone patch or any sort of official announcement about the future of this problem, are you going to deal with it or not? or you are just going to put another series of "oey go to your documents and change fallout.ini file to..." I am really bored with this nonsense. do something about this patch or say that you are not going to do something and I will delete all my saves that I am keeping in my computer over two years.

There will not be another patch for Fallout 3 issued by Bethesda. The game's five years old - they are done with it.

The games does not crash that much for me and compared to other Bethesda's games it is quite stable. I am running on Win 7 64 bit laptop. the motto is to save often and on a new save file everytime or almost everytime. Disable all the auto saves since that has a habit of causing many of the crashes since when they are saving quite often the game needs to load other game contents and then you have a higher chance of a crash and a corrupt save file.

Also the chance for a new patch is slim to none. And if there is one it will likely bring in some new bugs. There could be a patch when Games for Windows is offline and the client is no longer available but I doubt it would contain any other fixes since I doubt anyone has touched the Fallout 3 in years, since they have likely been working on Fallout 4 or some other Bethesda project.

I'm on Windows 8.1 x64 and have never had to change anything to get FO3 to run. The Steam version worked perfectly for me out of the box, no crashing. Not sure if this is something with Windows 8.1 or what, but at least it shows there's hope on some systems!

I don't know how it feels to say "after 5 years we are done with the game" it is like give birth to a child and then at his 5 "okey buddy you should get the fk off" I am deleting the game and giving no [censored]e about gamesas or anyother kind of game produced by them as a personel protest. if you don't give a [censored] about it I won't anymore.

Most companies stop supporting games shortly after launch sometimes right at launch.

Bethesda is still supporting this game but not with new content and will only make a patch if it is really needed. There is not one needed for Windows 7 or 8.

They offer support in help with getting the game running as well as you have support here from the Bethesda Staff, Forum Moderators, and Forum Members.
