- Avoiding frequent game crashes. We are assuming that you already have the installation file of Fallout 3 at hand. Install Fallout 3 normally in your C drive. After Installation launch Fallout 3 and press the Play icon. If your game is crashing when you click play, you should update Games for Windows Live from here.
- Fallout 3 Has Stopped Working (Fixed) So I launched the game again, and this time I managed to explore a little bit of the wasteland without a crash. Until, that is, I reached the abandoned school and the game crapped out on me again. This was probably after 20-30 minutes of me aimlessly exploring the wasteland. Same stupid message.
TPR: I just installed Fo3 from GOG.com and it starts a little bit different than DVD version I've got.After Fo3 Launcher (when I hit 'Play') I can see black screen only with Win7 'busy circle'. But in the center of screen is area where mouse cursor looks like normal for Win7. When it was in 'center area' I clicked and hit Esc key and game started. Such screen showed only once and next time Fo3 run normal. Dobry wieczor. And hi to poland:) i don't see anything but a small window in the top left corner of my main monitor for a second, than the standby screen shows and crash.
Really frustrating. Bombezwanzig: I tried to play vanilla right now, cause i know it's buggy under win7, but the lines in the fallout.ini which alter the multicore-behaviour have been changed by GOG already. It should run. Hmpf.edith reminds me: i also changed compatibility to xp sp3 and gave admin rights. It happened to me once on my own (not testlab) machine - I had to switch to windowed mode for initial boot and after that it was safe to play in fullscreen.but I couldn't get a reliable repro and my PC has lots of weird stuff floating around, so I just ignored it.

Bombezwanzig: Hi Folks, just bought the GOTY version of Fallout 3 and i can't get it to run. The 'Please Standby' screen comes up aaaand it crashes.
Sep 30, 2015 Launcher not working for Windows 10 - posted in Fallout 3 Technical Support: Hey guys, Im sure this question has been asked a lot, but I cant get Fallout 3 to work on my Windows 10 PC. I looked around and found a guide on the Steam forums that has helped a lot of people get the game to run, but I cant follow the guide because the first step isnt working.
'Fallout3 stopped working'.WIN7AMD FX-8320 8Core8 GB RAMAMD Radeon R9 280XAny ideas? Yeah I have an idea.Follow this link:Download the.dll file and drop it right into the Fallout 3 folder from the compressed RAR file. It should help your issue. I was having the same issue with this game and will also try for New Vegas next. It was crashing on start despite my efforts to bypass this. The file got it going.Hope this helps.

I was having the same issue for Fallout 3, so I googled for a solution and found this thread; I tried your method and it worked perfectly! At first I thought a mod I was using was causing the crashing, but after un/re installing with no mods, it still kept crashing; now everything runs great and I haven't had any crashes since.
