If you have an RTX GPU remember to disable weapon debris. Constant crashes with it enabled, not a single crash with it disabled, or least that’s how it was for me.

will try that first

thanks

there does not seem to be an option for weapon debris in the option menu

Stop multicore crashes by editing with notepad: (THIS SOLVES MOST CRASHES!)
My Documents\my games\Fallout3\FALLOUT.INI
find (control F) bUseThreadedAI=0
CHANGE to bUseThreadedAI=1
Immediately after this line, ADD this new line:
iNumHWThreads=2

got that from google?

Another thing was turn down the gfx to low tho i dunno if that would really fix it.

this worked a treat

cheers

It’s in the Advanced Options screen within the graphics settings when you launch the game and the pop-up appears with Launch, Options, Settings, etc.

Go into the options, graphics options, advanced or something similar.

It’s not in the in-game options once it’s running.

nope
