THE FALLOUT 3 NEW GAME CRASH FIX (AMD)

[Jamie]

THIS IS ONLY FOR AMD USERS.
goto Google and search: AMD Adrenaline 23.12.1 driver Guru3D
heres the link
https://www.guru3d.com/download/amd-radeon-software-adrenalin-23-12-1-driver-download/
USE THIS DRIVER!!!
for some reason WHY?!!! this is a AMD DRIVER ISSUE!!! freaking AMD MAN!!!! WOW!!! I Just tested this on the 1.7.0.3 and 1.7.0.4 and it works BOTH of them. Make sure to use DDU in safemode to uninstall your drivers ( https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/ ) and select the Recommended restart when done. When you are back on destop THEN install the driver.
...Unbelievable

I just wanted to add that that fix that everyone keeps copying and pasting, the "Intel HD" thing...that does NOTHING. Especially when you are NVIDIA/AMD. Its tricking your computer into thinking its using a 20 year old GPU and when you play the game its showing 102+fps but its lagging like crazy and you are really only getting 30fps if that. with a GPU Util of 10-18%. So yea, do what I just said to do and you guys should be in the clear!!!

No issues here with that bypass file. Solid 60fps and no stuttering at all with radeon gpu.

that bypass file is essentially snake oil for your pc. its tricking your computer into thinking you are getting 60fps but you arent. you are getting 30 or less. its only utilizing about 10-18% of the gpu. if you have AMD i HIGHLY ADVISE that you remove that Intel HD bypass thing and downgrade the driver with what I posted above.

Also report this using the AMD Software Bug Reporter thing

Imagine installing an old driver just to run one old buggy game.
The stupidest advice, just for a single game.

Their are other tried and tested workarounds with the current drivers, using a combo of regress Fallout 3 update to use FOSE, dxvk-async, in windowed mode. Then use upscaler or borderless program to get back to full screen.

Not everybody is just using their computer for 'vida gaemys'. Regressing your video drivers, has both security and stability issues for your system.

I'm hearing rumors that a remaster is in the works, and a remaster is deff. being done for fallout 2, finally got a clue, did we bethesda? I mean the game a has a flipping TV show ffs, so yeah people including me, would buy it. Have to agree with the poster above, LAST thing I need is more games fng up just to try and get this one to straighten up and fly right.

thanks for the steam award. and everything you said people have tried tested and FAILED. The only way to get it to work at this juncture is by using that odler driver. Thats not from me thats from AMD and other members of the communtiy thats how i found out about this Mr. Know it All.

you should be getting 144fps+ (144 locked for me cause im on 144hz). not outdated 60fps. 60fps was for 2010. If your playing 10year old games in 2024 and not getting over 120fps you need to upgrade.

My system, R5-3600, 64GB DDr4-3600 RAM, x570 Motherboard and RX6700XT.

Game runs fine for me vanilla, yes it's running at 60fps, the reason being the game engine was not designed for more than that, not stably at least.

Can you run faster than 60, sure (with a couple small mods, I run comfortably at 100Hz (the refresh of my monitor)) but you are entering the uncertain instability zone. You may not have issues, but a lot of people have, enough that fan-made patches and mods were made to correct or prevent the potential issues from happening when going over 60fps.

You may be able to run at 144fps using the old driver, and that's great. It's not a fix though, it's a workaround...there is a difference. And there are indeed other ways to counter the issues, nexus mods has a lot of them, all reviewed favorably and downloaded thousands upon thousands of times, so I would guess they work. I know the couple that I use work wonders for me. And I get to keep using my current AMD drivers, meaning all my games work as they should, new and old.

Just my 2 cents.

Sounds like a skill issue.

It wasn't just a rumor, they where from leaked court documents, but for some reason Bethesda hasn't released it when they said they would. They must of delayed it after the merger or even cancelled it so they could focus on Starfield at the time.

Thanks Jamie. This is actually the only "solid" existent workaround for that game if you want to play it properly, until AMD release the next drivers with the fix. It is so disappointing AMD has taken that long to acknowledge the issue and include as part of the bug list only after ~7 months. I feel that I have done myself a bad deal buying a RX 7800XT.
