failed to initialize renderer:My fo3 and newvegas problem

[Graphics]

Hello. Are you having a good day?

I have a problem. That means Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas don't work.

As soon as i press play on the launcher

I couldn't play the game because I got a "failed to initialize renderer" error with black small size screen.





Below is my pc spec



I am using asrock's deskmini x300

The processor is ryzen 5 4350g.(bios vram 2gb)

16gb klevv so-dimm ram

1tb skhynix p31 ssd

window10 home edition









Below is what I've done

an integrity check.

Delete and reinstall all folders after stopping using the cloud server.

Reinstall the graphics driver.

Modify isize to match monitor in myames-fallout3-falloutprefs.ini file

.net framework4 installation

directx9 installation

Installing visual c++ 2008

Try running with administrator privileges in a Windows xp Service Pack 3 environment



Help me 😭

Mostly likely because your card cant support that render format. That's the typical reason that message comes up.

Some games allow you to choose a render mode, neither FO3 or NV have this option, there might be a work-around, but if there is I dont know it.

I'd like to agree with you, but unfortunately, there are a lot of play videos on YouTube.

erm, F3 NOT use net 4.x at all, it use 2.x & 3.x
F3 use vc++ 2005 x86&x64 BOTH +sp1
vc++ 2008 used by New Vegas
but for 1.7.0.4 you need also more new
you can't use Vega ONLY system without Intel HD bypass (at least, last time when i test it on amd)
nobody optimize games for AMD, there was very short period, when some mainstream do it, but it was after F3 release and BEFORE current 1.7.0.4

?? Fallout 3 uses VC++ 2008, also, if ya not, using a Intel GC, I.E Laptop, you don't need the Intel HD bypass, your setup isint a laptop, and I happen a have a AMD card.

Try setting your gpu as outlined on step one of this guide.

And if it still won't start do this also

Goto C:\Windows\SysWOW64
Copy the d3d9.dll and paste a copy in the game folder
(Copy/Paste - Do Not Move the original file)

Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3 (goty)
GOG: C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Fallout 3
Epic Games: C:\Program Files\Epic Games\fallout3\Fallout 3 GOTY English

Start the game to test it.
