Fallout 3 Crash After Character Creation List

Same thing with masseffect, fallout 3 and gears of war. People who were not affected but system crashes on the games release found there games crashing after the so called stability patch which was brought out to help others who's systems were crashing every time they tried to play. Fallout 3 - Game of the Year Edition. Can't Get Past Character Creation. Then the game crashes to desktop. I've been born 7 times. This is starting to suck.

The same thing happened to me as soon as I tried any mods, including DarnUI. There are some anti-crash mods I know of, and I'll update after testing, but I'd wager this boils down to the more-than-one-core issue this game has always had.

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. should. hmpf.
edith reminds me: i also changed compatibility to xp sp3 and gave admin rights.

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.

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.

but I couldn't get a reliable repro and my PC has lots of weird stuff floating around, so I just ignored it. nope. tried that just now and still the same. and it does this from wherever i start the game, galaxy, startmenue, just the exe-file. doesn't matter.
so to sum up what i tested:
xp sp3 compatibility
start as admin
windowed mode
switched off second monitor via settings
so far no fallout for me :(

bombe_zwanzig: [..]

then we will have to go into details ;)
any previous installations, at any point?
if you have any .INI in DocumentsMy GamesFallout 3, remove them
if you have any plugins active, disable anything except .ESMs (that includes *language*.esp, if present)

there where remnants of old save files and .ini files from corrupted old installations.....
i deleted them and still it crashed, but it wanted to test my graphicscard. so i looked into the options, chose my resolution according to my monitor and switched from HDR to bloom and there it goes.
changed settings to ultra and HDR again and it works now.
the old savegames and inis seem to cause these problems... sigh, my pc is a mess. i need to make a clean setup sometime.... so thank you all...

Yeah I have an idea.

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 had this issue but have just fixed it by installing the scripted extender and then the New Vegas anti crash plugin, you can find it here:
http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/53635/?
It has loaded every time since for me. It crashed every before I tried it.

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. Thank you very much for posting this, as it helped me out a lot!

Hi, i've recently decided to mod Fallout 3 with an ENB, however it was laggy and generally didnt run properly, so I made the mistake of removing every file related to the ENB from my PC, now fallout 3 will crash as soon as it hits the 'Please Stand By' start screen, and sometimes before.
Ive tried:
Installing replacement d3d9.dll and falloutdefault.ini files (still installed)
Uninstalling and reinstalling
Verify/Repair
Changing compatibility modes
Changing to windowed mode
None of these worked
Here are screenshots of my files in the game folder, documents, and the crash itself
NOTE: From what ive read on another post, it may be corrupted save files, but those files are backed up through gog galaxy, and I cant delete them.

Usually games need to have the same mods installed to let the saved games work.

Pretty much the same problem here... i cant find any fixes either. I don't understand how it could be a corrupt save, since I've never actually saved a game for this on my laptop. Only on my PC. I don't know if it's because it's on my laptop or what. But same issues for me, the second the in game cursor loads in, game freezes and crashes. No idea why. Really pissing me off, since the GOG version is supposed to be the version you can get on windows 10 that isn't broken. Wish we could figure this out.
Also, the game didn't have a d3d9.dll to begin with... that was part of the enb.. You shouldn't need that to run the game, may actually be causing your crashes..
