![]() The runtime files that come with the CD version of Fallout 3 may not work correctly, you should download the current ones from Microsoft.įallout comes with 3.5 that you can get here A better way is to launch your game using a mod manager, such as Nexus Mod Manager, regardless of if you use mods or not ![]() You can stop this if the launcher does not run as an administrator, and you set the ini to read only by right clicking the ini file, pressing properties, and clicking "read only". The INI file can be overwritten if you use the normal fallout launcher. *ĭo not confuse fallout.ini in /my games/Fallout 3/ with the fallout_default.ini in your fallout game folder, DO NOT edit fallout_default.ini) Go to /Documents/My games/Fallout 3/ Find fallout.ini Open with notepad Use find (Ctrl F) and type "bUseThreadedAI=0" without quotes Replace "bUseThreadedAI=0 " with "bUseThreadedAI=1" Add an extra line and type "iNumHWThreads=2" *If you STILL have a lot of crashes you can reduce that number to 1 but it will effect game performance. It will fix a LARGE majority of crashing for most people. This fix forces the game to run on two cores. The Gamebyro engine (which runs fallout 3 and NV) has issues with 2 or more cores. You should do this for Fallout 3 and New Vegas if you have a quadcore processor (or any processor with more than 2 cores). This is the multicore fix and is one of the most important things. ![]() A company is not going to add compatibility for a new OS after release because its a giant headache for them. (right click the files, go to properties, go to compatibility, select "run as administrator")įirst and foremost, The game runs on Windows 7, 8(.1) and 10, it is just "not optimized" for it. ![]() Run the game launcher and the game executable in your game folder as an admin. The NMM, Nexus Mod Manager is really only good for installing anything packed in the "FoMod" archive format and its absolutely garbage for mod organizing it can't detect conflicts, it won't tell you if you have any errors all it does is say "yes, you installed this have fun.Fallout 3 works better with older hardware and older OS, in this case "the newer the better" is not fully true. Skyrim has a mod "cap" its about 200 or so before the game gets really crash prone, I myself am running about 100 mods and at least a quarter of them are various bug fixes and general game improvements. Also if you have the 3 Hi-res DLC's from steam turn them off the textures in those packs are poorly optimized and can lead to memory issues and game crashes, if you really want those textures you can find optimized versions of those packs on the Nexus site and they won't require you to waste space for 3 useless esp files. If you have all the DLC's for Skyrim I would also recommend getting the Unofficial patches for all of them Bethesda left a lot of bugs in them which never got fixed, the unofficial patches fix most of them. On the other hand you can try to use Mod Organizer which is pretty good even if its a bit time consuming to get it working for you, which can take a bit of time since you are forced to go through its tutorial before it'll let you do anything with it. Take the time to find the Skyrim version of Wrye Bash (can be found on the Nexus search Wrye Bash) its known as Wrye Smash, it'll let you know if you have any conflicts but its not capable of telling you what said conflict is which is a bit of a problem. But right now, it crashes everytime i enter megaton. And i have learned about merging mods and making bashed patches. I moved over to fallout 3 for a fresh start. Since then, i have learned about modding. In my eyes, it was big abomination filled with crashfests. All the modding and the hopeless searching for fixes gave me headaches.Įvery time i looked at the skyrim icon on my desktop, all i saw was a big mass of thousands of unstable, broken and corrupted files merged together, like some disgusting monster from a horror movie with all kinds of flesh melted together. There were conflicts, compatabillity issues, and so on. And i learned, that modding wasn't that simple. The game was very unstable, i had performance issues and the game crashed all the time. And when i finally had about 50+ mods, and launched the game for the first time with mods, everything started to go down. There were so many mods, but i always wanted more. I started to download more and more mods, without even trying them in-game first. I thought that all you had to do, was download the mods, and apply it. When i started playing skyrim with mods, i thought it was very simple.
