How To Fix Fallout 3 Not Running On Windows 10

  • Windows 10: Fallout 3 and running bring a CD version (not Steam) If you still have the older CD version of Fallout 3, so do not gambles on Steam, you should also do the following: Install the official patch on Fallout 3 version 1.7. Installed the latest version of Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5. Fallout 3 crashes when opening cinematic from (baby cries).
  • If Fallout 3 does not work in Windows 10, you can fix it like this: Update your video card drivers. By default, Windows 10 does not necessarily install the best. Install Games for Windows Live. Restarts Windows 10. Now test if Fallout 3 works. If you should use 2 monitors in Windows 10.

As some of you know I had been having a hell of a time trying to get fallout 3 working. I did everything correctly but to no avail. Many STEP members offered great suggestions and ideas but nothing worked for me. So I gave up on fallout 3. Went to run Fallout New Vegas to record some footage for my next RP on youtube... Fallout New Vegas (which had been working a few days earlier) crashed on game load! lol Very upsetting.

A recent update to Windows 10 changed something about the handling of video drivers. Drivers that support this change cause Fallout 3 and (I’ve read) Fallout: New Vegas to crash when the game begins to load. The last Nvidia driver that will run FO3/NV is 368.81. I just installed this old driver, and the game will run again.

I Rolled back from the 9/21/16 windows 10 update to the previous version:

Windows

Search 'Update & Security', open 'Recovery' and you can roll back to your previous update from there....

Fallout New Vegas works again... oh.. and now fallout 3 works.
