I am trying to get Fallout 3 working on a Windows 7 machine.
This is a well known crash-y game but weirdly I've never had any excessive crashing playing it over the years, whether an GfW disk version, Steam and then GoG... until now.
I've tried it on a couple of platforms recently and it will crash after 45 minutes or so. This is either the current Steam version or the current GOG version.
I'm running it on an AMD A10 8750B CPU (FM2+ Socket) which is a 3.6GHz Quad Core. It's surprisingly slow for a 3.6GHz 4C4T CPU but even so it runs FO3 fine. I've got 8GB of DDR3 2133MHz RAM and a GTX275 896MB. It also crashes on an Athlon II x3 760GS AM3 system, but also my AM4 5800X3D 6800XT system.
Does anyone know what helps crashes? makes them worse?
I do have a S775 G41 chipset with an E8500 board I could use, or S1150 H81 chipset 4770 system I could use but I don't really want to disassemble it all if it is an Intel favoured game...
