Fallout 3 Not Running

[AdamB54]

I am completely useless when it comes to computers, I have recently purchased Fallout 3 on steam and every time I try to open it, it closes. Can anyone suggest something please?

Had the same problem, the issue seemed to be that the game couldn't detect my graphics card, to fix it went into windows settings, searched for Graphics. in here is Graphics Performance Prefences

click the browse button and locate the game launche, the location is locates in the game settings in steam. then manually select the graphics card you want to use then the launcher can see the choosen driver rather than the incorrect auto detected one

First of all: thank you to people who do the research for things like this - it's a valuable service to the gaming community.

However: it would be so nice if people would post textual instructions instead of (or as well as) these videos that you have to pause all the time. sigh. Text is SO much easier for instructions like this. And trust me, with the algorithm on youtube these days, more people watching your videos really doesn't make you money any more.

followed that guide. I had to delete the Fallout.ini and try again without changing any settings in the launcher to get it to finally populate the ini for proper editing to get the correct water reflections issues addressed.

Whats not working? Not at all? Or you got at least into the game launcher? And the game crashes after you click "Play" in the game launcher??
