Crash every 10-20 minutes?

[POCKET SAND]

I am now able to play Fallout 3, however whenever I get about 20 minutes into it, at any time, sometimes it happens when I'm in a container, it just randomly crashes.

Does anyone know why or have a solution?

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode.

I'm pretty sure I did that through a guide just to get it to run at all, lol.

How do I run it in compatibility mode, just to be sure? Is there a guide for that?

I had to do it to the fallout launcher, to put it in compatibility mode for Windows 7.
Hopefully this works.

About to test it out

Nothing is working !!!

I'm thinking of maybe a workshop mod to help, if one exists ?

Are you running any mods at the moment? If so try uninstalling them and playing with basic fixes.

What worked for me on Windows 10 was disabling AMD ReLive or nVidia Shadowplay. Virtually all crashes stopped. Some areas will still crash and force you to rush through them but thankfully, in my case, they're few and far between. I can play the game crash free for hours on end since doing that little fix.

The thing you want to run in compatability mode is fallout3.exe if anything. The launcher just helps change settings and runs Fallout3.exe when pressing play. Also be sure to try the steps shown in the stickied setup guide if you haven't already.

I'm not running ANY mods at all.

I'm also on Windows 7.

Thanks for the tips :) I appreciate all replies. - As long as it's not an insult.

I couldn't figure out how to run .exe in compatibility mode, because there isn't a compatibility tab at the top in properties :(

I figured it wouldn't do much, but I tried anyways.

I'll try that!

I now have the fallout fix or whatever it is. Other than that, no

Try the unofficial patch, i don't considered it a mod.
