Hello OcUK,
Long story short. The missus has gone, giving me a rare chance at a gaming evening. I really fancy playing my old copy of Fallout 3 but it won't run.
It will open the launch app but it won't let me start the game. I've downloaded the latest update from the official website but I still just get this error:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005).
It worked fine on my old rig but I think there is a problem with modern CPU and this game. I have a 2600k. I've tried the below along with compatability mode and several re-installs.
Find the line: bUseThreadedAI=0
Change it to: bUseThreadedAI=1
Add another line after it and insert: iNumHWThreads=2
Google has been exausted and I'm out of ideas.
If someone brings a fix to me quickly, saving my evening, I'll send you a game via steam. I have a few gifts on there inc. LFD2, Limbo and PvZ.
