ok, the game freezing and the program closing every hour or so isnt that bad. even if it happens more quickly. but I had to now 3 times turn the pc off, by pressing the power button because EVERYTHING froze. this really is unnacceptable for a game like new vegas and for a company like bethesda. is there ANYTHING I can do about it? (already verified the game content on steam)

Well, posting in the correct forum would be a good place to start. This is for Fallout 3.

omfg, how stupid was I??? sorry, about this plz delete this topic. will open another one in the correct forum. sorry still gotta get used to clicking vegas
