Fallout 3 Crash On New Game
© Provided by SMG Business Services Sdn Bhd.LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 09: (L-R) Tom Mustaine, Co-Studio Director at Bethesda Game Studios, and Jeff Gardiner, Project Lead at Bethesda Game Studios, speak about 'Fallout 76' during the Bethesda E3 Showcase at The Shrine Auditorium on June 09, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. Christian Petersen/Getty Images/AFP FOR NEWSPAPERS, INTERNET, TELCOS & TELEVISION USE ONLY LOS ANGELES: When Fallout 76 launched in November 2018, it didn't quite hit its target.The first online-only entry in the long-running post-apocalyptic series suffered from a number of technical issues in its early days, and fans weren't receptive to some of its core mechanics. The lack of NPCs, instead of encouraging players to interact with each other, just made the world feel empty. The campaign lacked the gravity of previous games' stories.
Overall, it didn't deliver on its promises or its potential.In the months since launch, developer Bethesda has been fairly open about Fallout 76's shortcomings, even vowing to do better in 2019. Some significant improvements were detailed at Bethesda's E3 press conference earlier this week, including a whole new vault and the glorious return of NPCs.' Some guy named Todd asked me to do it,' Project Lead Jeff Gardiner told Variety. (He's referring, of course, to Bethesda Game Studios head honcho Todd Howard, who's also the director of Fallout 76.) These NPCs are part of a free DLC-sized update called 'Wastelanders', which also adds a new main quest concerning Settler and Raider factions.'
When we launched Fallout 76, we were committed to having the other players act as NPCs,' Gardiner said. That may have been the original intent, but it didn't quite work in execution. So 'after launch and listening to the community', the developers started planning to put NPCs back into the world of Fallout.This presented its own technical challenges, of course.
It's one thing to talk to a story character in a single-player game, but in a multiplayer game it could easily turn into a crowd of people attempting to engage with some poor dweller. The solution: 'We ripped out all the camera code,' Gardiner explained, incorporating a system in which each player gets their own camera when talking to an NPC, instead of players 'shouting over each other'.' Wastelanders' isn't the only big addition Fallout 76 players can expect this year; Bethesda also announced its own battle royale mode, which is now playable in trial form. The 'Nuclear Winter' update is playable until June 17 in trial form, after which we'll get more details about its full launch.' We were looking to build an interesting PVP mode and this is where the Nuclear Winter mode came from,' Bethesda Co-Studio Director Tom Mustaine told us. This 52-player fight to the death doesn't just spring up out of nowhere; it's actually tied to the opening of a new vault.Vault 51 is missing its overseer, so a ZAX supercomputer has taken it upon itself to find a new one – through trial by combat. As players launch nukes, the effects stack up and the map gets smaller.
Mustaine said that Nuclear Winter is part of the game's 'ongoing storytelling', and the events of Vault 51 fit into Fallout lore just as any other expansion would.Regular Fallout 76 players probably noticed that the developers have already incorporated a number of updates based on player habits, like continuously increasing the size of the stash box and adding vending machines to camps. Additionally, 'we've made thousands, literally thousands and thousands of fixes and repairs to both performance and stability and little annoying bugs,' Gardiner said. 'We spend a lot of time reading community feedback.
Ultimately the community has really good ideas. It's an endless well of information for us.' Bethesda's openness about Fallout 76's launch issues, and its willingness to work with its community, isn't something you find in every studio or every game – and perhaps that's why its player community is so darn friendly. As Todd Howard put it at Bethesda's press briefing, 'We made a post-apocalyptic survival game where you can do whatever you want and everybody's nice to each other.' Mustaine and Gardiner couldn't pinpoint exactly why Fallout 76 players are so keen to help each other out, but Mustaine speculated that camp-building had an effect. 'In previous Fallout games, it wasn't multiplayer. You built this really cool thing, and the only way you had to show it off was to take screenshots or make YouTube videos.'
Thanks to the multiplayer experience, players are able to share their dwellings, making resources available to newer players through vending machines. 'People are able to express themselves within the camps they build. It's really endearing to see people actually having a good time.' Both Mustaine and Gardiner stressed that Fallout 76 is a different game than it was at launch, thanks to the many fixes, balance tweaks, timed events, and additional content – all of which is free. But you don't have to take their word for it; Fallout 76 is free to play on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 until June 17.'
Nuclear Winter' is available to preview this week, and the 'Wastelanders' update will hit Appalachia later this year. Beyond that?Nothing's been detailed, but Mustaine called Fallout 76 'a living ecosystem', so changes are ongoing for the foreseeable future. It's tough to say if Bethesda's aggressive course-correcting can overcome the repercussions of Fallout 76's rocky launch, but the future of the wasteland is looking bright.Of course, that might just be the radiation speaking.

Ok i have been all over the internet all day trying to get this worked out. No luck yet so im going to ask directly. I got the game installed (dvd game) and downloaded the patch and jumped thru 40 different hoops, but still cant get past the title screen. Everything works fine until i try to start a new game, then the screen minimizes, my mouse tards out, and the game crashes. Im working with windows 7 (im kind of a tech tard to bear with me, please) ASUS cm5671.
Pentium dual core cpu E5500 @ 2.80GHz 2.80GHz. 4.00 GB RAM (3.75 usable) 64 bit system.
As for graphics i have (again, please bear with me) intel g45/g43 express chipset 1759 MB available graphics memory, 128 dedicated. Im pulling my hair out here! Lepoopdepon,Did you get your game to work - I am having the same problems with similar hardware, windows7/64, etc.tried different ways to get this to work, but to summerize, the following reflects my repeated experience trying to install GOTY.1. Installed without the expansion disk first and it works fine.2.
Installed add-ons on disc 2 and crash when game start (As you described).3. Uninstall game and then install (this didn't remove add-ons) I didn't remove saved games.4. Game worked with big red squares with exclamation points in them for expansion items.5. D/l patch - back to crash at start up.I found that the Bethesda site has limited (or hard to find) information on this.

If he doesnt have a dedicated video card he wont be able to get the game working at any settings. Although the game isnt hugley demanding it does have a minimum of a 6600gt there is no onboard chipset on the 775 socket that currently comes close to that spec. Even if he got it to run it would be a slideshow.the reason the dlc is causing the crash could be it hasnt been installed properly even if it has its suggested that you dont select them all to on when you start your game.basically if your not gonna play that mission then don't enable it in the mod enabler. Also i found the game more stable if i left the tick box for loose files or what ever its called at the bottom of the selector panel unchecked.1s you have finished a dlc addon go back to megaton if you havent blown it up with fast travel.
Quit your game and select a new dlc pack and un-check the 1 you just finished.reload from your last save and you should be ready to rock and role.you can leave all skins packs and weapon packs enabled at all times, just be careful with the missions.

Is this game really that unstable with all the DLC loaded on a PC?

If so why would it be so hard to do on the PC what the xbox did just fine for me? Fallout3 GOTY with all DLC's works just fine for me on PC (Vista), even with 150+ mods-as long as an extended mod list installed&ordered with care to avoid conflicts. FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager) a must if more than a few mods desired. Best site for all FO3 mods, utilities: fallout3nexus.comFallout New Vegas is a Steam joint-for better or worse. Quite a few very good mods available for it now; but nothing like the selection available for FO3.
By the time FONV GOTY disc comes out, the modding selection for it should be amazing: falloutnewvegasnexus.comBoth games-with heavy modding-are totally awesome, and have happily devoured weeks of my life. I'm using the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics chipset on a laptop, and it runs Oblivion (DVD version) and Fallout 3:Las Vegas (Steam version) perfectly and is even passable on high detail specs. But I also just tried to install the original Fallout 3 from DVD and I also got a crash on new game, just as mentioned by the thread post. I had a similar problem with the DVD install of Oblivion, except it was a crash upon start, before the main menu, and it turned out to be a software conflict with some crapware that had been preloaded by the OEM. I suspect the installation of Fallout 3 has a similar odd conflict rather than inadequate processing power.I saw one post elsewhere that suggests there is a fix for this, the problem supposedly having to do with a minor conflict with the intel graphics chipset.
There was a.dll download, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm still looking for anyone with other leads as I am betting it may be some other conflict. Don't these Bethesda games use the same graphics engine?

I'd think if one worked, so would the others.
