Even after disabling GFWL and doing the full screen mod, Fallout 3 still crashes constantly :/


Specifically, it always crashes when fighting a Super Mutant Brute in front of the radio station.

Kinda gave up on the tickets. Got all the prizes I wanted and there's so many I've missed that it'd be impossible to get caught up again.

2nd time when someone is asking is hardly spamming. And I provided an answer to his question in case you didnt catch that.
Here are a few other answers:

You could make up your mind by reading these articles and getting to know what they are about. Same with your youtube video, so stop complaining.
And Out of Eight gave it a 6/8. I saw the few, low MetaCritic scores, but I don't really trust most of the reviews that make it to MetaCritic; arbitrary scoring and I could write better than that. And no offense, I appreciate the links. I was just wondering if anyone here had an opinion of it.

Ooh, are you using any other mods? If you are, have a look on the FOIP page and check if there are any compatibility fixes for the stuff you're using.

I verified the cache and it downloaded a 1kb file, and it didn't crash at that spot anymore.

It's pretty crash happy, that's for sure. One other thing that helps some people is disabling auto save and quick saving constantly instead, but it does mean having to worry about losing progress if you get sucked in and forget to save like I do.

What the fuck? Terraria went UP? I didn't have any other way to buy it when I saw the original sale on my phone.

Fuck, at $2.49 it woulda been an insta-buy had I been at my comptuer. But now....

I remember reading NV was really buggy and crashed a lot, and F3 was not as buggy.

But so far NV has only crashed a few times, F3 has crashed every 20 minutes...

So far:

Assassins Creed II
Killing Floor standard version
Machinarium
Doom
Doom II
The Last Remnant
Amnesia

Not too much of an impact money wise, decent value all around :D

Hitman Collection worth it? Or just Blood Money? Never played a Hitman game.

I haven't played the first one but the second and Blood Money are great.

blood money is the masterpiece in the franchise though. rip agent 47

Tried to add some money to the steam wallet but now I'm getting this
"There has been an internal error initializing your transaction. Please contact support for assistance."
Anyone else getting the same?

Arg, crashed again.

I can't even enter GNR plaza, it crashes as soon as Super Mutants come in. A google search shows this is a common problem, but I can't find a fix.

Uhh... not sure what to do.

Yeah i wondering why the Terraria thread title said it was $2.50, it's 50% at 5bucks on both the AU and US sites.

If it was a mistake by Valve I wonder if the dev will be compensated?

There's also the fact that no images have been stealth added to the steam servers like every other day.
