Hey there,

In windows XP, the game randomly crashes when firing a weapon, especially when using the VATS and aiming for the head.


I also dual boot with windows 7, and none of these problems appear with the very same hardware.


I hope this will be corrected soon because the performance isnt great on 7

I also dual boot operating systems but im using XP and Vista Ultimate and i am also crashing on XP. I usually don't install games onto my vista partition unless they don't play well with XP but the way things are looking now i might have to.

to be more specific, my crashes are not CTDs but brutal crashes automatically restarting the computer


hope this doesnt happen to you

Same problem, windows XP, nvidia GT240. VATS will cause a BSOD about 25% of the time using any projectile weapons. Bad QA, no cookie.

Hey, same thing! Windows XP, GTX 260. 4 gigs of ram. My dual core 1.9g CPU is below minimum, but the game runs -awesomely- when it's not crashing, which is almost everytime I use VATS, and during cinematic kill cams/crits before I turned them off.

It was weird, because it worked fine during the first pair of geckos in the tutorial, then always crashed in VATS after that... Then worked for a bit, then broke again. It's a real headache.

And yeah, the crashes are super immediate BSOD's that blow the damn thing up, causing it to instantly restart.
