LOW FPS [Not a Hardware Issue]

[Krugerk]

I am having ridiculously low FPS, making my game almost unplayable. My PC can run Fallout 4 just fine, so I sincerely doubt this is an issue with my hardware.

At the launching screen, I get a message that 'Fallout 3 isn't compatible with this version of Windows'.

I'VE TRIED:
- The Fallout 3 FIXER (Downloaded here: {LINKKI POISTETTU}http://www.mediafire.com/download/3748h9l3uj1lbwj/FallOut3_Fixer.exe)
- Deleting game and reinstalling
- Fixing Fallout.ini for multicore threading
- Used the 'Games for Windows Live' Disabler (Dowloaded here: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/1086/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Ffallout3%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D1086&pUp=1)
- Used the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch (Dowloaded here: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19122/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Ffallout3%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D19122&pUp=1)

CURRENTLY TRYING:
- A complete clean reinstall (ie. Deleting Fallout 3 goty folder from steam common, Deleting Fallout 3 from documents/my games, uninstall through steam)

I have the same problem. My specs are:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 1700 (8 ядер 16 потоков) 2017 года выпуска.
Graphics card - GeForce 1660 SUPER 2019 года выпуска.
RAM - Corsair Venence 32 gigs (2x 16) DDR4
System HDD - Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB
Game HDD - WDC WD1001FALS-75J7B0

Latest Windows 10 OS, all drivers updated. I get extemely low FPS on Point Lookout coast.

Screw you, Bethesda.

It's not remotely Bethesda's fault that a game from 2008 runs odd on hardware that is completely alien in architecture to it, on an alien OS, in 2020.

That's like complaining that Doom doesn't work properly on Winxp without a wrapper or sourceport. VAST differences in hardware and significant ones in how the OS works behind the scenes.


Also, check dates before posting. 4 year necros just to sling shade are stupid.

And yet it does, on Windows 10. And Diablo. And first and second Fallout, also.

So, you clearly have no intention of being remotely constructive, given you purposefully ignored the 'without tweaks' bit, and the 'no u' response to pointing out a 4 year necro is bad.

Doom, the original Diablo, neither the first or second Fallout (tactics probably also wouldn't, can't check that one myself), run properly on Win10 without a wrapper, sourceport, emulator, or other tweaks involved. The difference is that most the storefronts you can get them from these days, include the necessary modifications preinstalled, and were sale options provided long after the game's original release.
In particular, you listed games that were all from pre-win2000.

Win2k used a different kernel setup to function. Literally, if a game was designed for DOS, it won't work on NT based OSes (IE modern windows) without specific software compatibility features installed and in use. Older versions of windows (XP and earlier) used to come with some of these, but from Vista onward, they were not included with the OS and had to be downloaded separately. This doesn't even touch on hardware compatibility problems that pop up.



I've got the battle chest (disc of core game plus expansions) version of Diablo 2 (which if it doesn't work, the original certainly wouldn't) and the original Starcraft, and disc versions of F1 and F2. None of them work as is without further modification for compatibility with modern hardware and OS.

You work at Bethesda, amirite?

Fallout 3 were released in 2008. Other games that were released in 2008: Gta IV, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, Red Alert 3, Far Cry 2 etc - all work properly.

So, again - screw Bethesda.

They are also all on different engines from Fallout 3.

Just because one game works, doesn't mean you can expect others to.


Also, no, I don't work at Bethesda, I'm just more educated on computers than most, and get annoyed when people blame developers for things out of their control. Like a game not working flawlessly on an OS it wasn't designed to support.

i can go further then that, yes it is hardware issue, you forget you have a Laptop not a desktop pc
thats means base core is from1.8ghz to with intel boost 3ghz

and game is so old from the past even desktop pc has past that 3.0ghz along time ago.
so your problem is actual next gen pc issue. that dont has that high requirement s as old tech did.
and it dont matter how many core you have , because game dont use tham. or was
and if you notice the 2,4 ghz singlecore requirement's that means you pc is already in trouble to even reach that high ( require FULL performance not even balance mode might be enough. )
and who said old game even accept intel boost as cover the range, throttle up and down in speed dont mean it can keep it up there. )

i know many / you dont like to hear about it, but i and other cant fix what your pc dont have , you might even go minium in all settings and resolution just to proof a point.
but most of us play at maximum and special the old games.

and that is the problem you have here. i recall even old single cpu games from the past some had 3.2/3 as reuirement , if devs dont change or update to multicore then there is no way in hell you can start such game up. ( and you can forget intel boost technology it will never reach it if you even could go way higher. )

its simple matter of game devs accept throttle cpu power and is optimized for such next gen-tech.

and there is nothing any can, do about it. ( point is aient it better someone tell you this , then you still try to fix or waste time on it. ) because Betheda support has walk away from this along time ago and they not update anything anymore or waste time on it.

Hi, as mentioned by someone before, this thread is older than god and I've long since moved on. I hope the other guy fixes his problem but I'd recommend making a new thread if he still needs help.

yeah Complain to steam not let other user woke 1 year old post up again. we are many that try tell steam this, someday they will wake post up after person is dead and gone, and i bet steam will be seen as worst forum policy ever. ( steam should lock all thread noone post in after 3 month. ) thats same as noone care anymore )

even seen steam user post in a outdate solution that has nothing to do with hes problem.
its like steam need a kick in the balls by all user's.
