Jump4h Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 So, I installed Win7 Ultimate 64 bit, and installed Fallout 3. Flawless; Installed GFW live and it told me I had a game update to do (1.7). I did the update, and now, after reeboting, after launching the game, you can hear the theme for half a second, with no picture, and then it crashes to desktop. Anyone else have a problem like this? Any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Video/chipset/sound drivers installed? It runs fine on my machines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I had this problem with the initial video (upon starting a new game) with Vista Business x64. I tried the patches, I tried different codecs. It's a shame they still haven't gotten this all the way sorted out. I haven't had any trouble running it in XP SP3... So, it worked just fine until it updated through GFW? Ouch...

Jump4h Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Reinstalled, didn't apply patch, created offline profile, tried to play. Butter smooth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jump4h Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I never installed an GFW crap, FO3 works for me! Afaik the problem is not live, but the 1.7 patch. It specifically says a update for the GAME, not live. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jump4h Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 ASDF - FIXED I remember before applying the patch seeing a info bar: an application isn't compatible with Windows Ultimate theme (or some other theme) - Switching to Windows Basic Theme. I switched to it manually - and it worked. I got a second problem - Can't connect to live - your region might not be supported. I knew about this problem; disabling xfire solved it.
