  • I did everything you said in the tutorial but it still ain't working :(.

    It used to work on Win 7 Professional 32 bit which I had on my old iMac, but does not on my Win 7 Premium Edition 64 bit Notebook.

  • It worked like a charm, thanks!

  • Right now i am consructing a shrine in ur honor. Jk

    Thank u Times 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000

  • Thnx, for the tip. Bought it on steam it did not work, luckily got a refund. Gonna pirate this game and see if this works if it does, gonna buy it right away.

  • *Clicks on Link* *Downloads* *Mr. SOPA appears*

  • mine crashes when i try to press new game help!!

  • @ SneakyyHobo i have EXACTLY the same problem!

  • thanks. you got me past the new game loading screen.

    now i have to figure out how to get character creation to not freeze

  • @purplepoweraide Try to download a save file right before you leave the vault, you can edit your character than leave.

  • fucken thank you i love you man

  • i did everything you said, word for word, and mine still crashed as i pressed new game

  • Man this is straight up bullshit! i tried to change the damn fallout_default.ini and all of a sudden it sais Access denied when trying to save the damn changes!. any answer to that?.

  • You, my good man, are my God damn God! I will now build you a temple. What kind of design does the master wish me to use? Unbelieveable! Thanks!

  • Thank you so much, this fix worked great on the game of the year edition and all i did was drag and drop the file into my fallout 3 folder and its playable on win 7 (thank you).

  • Nope.

  • @MissionAvoid i did all what you said and showed, nothing worked, but i found out something. i disabled my audio (soundmax hd audio) and it worked with no lag and everything, but it sucks with no sound so ive been trying to find another solution that worked with sound. and i got xp sp3 build 2600 version 2002 so what do you recommend? something wrong with my sound or maybe the game sound?

  • You sir are great.

  • it not work...should i restart..

  • y r the best

    cheers

  • I think I love you.

  • For those of you who do have an Intergrated Intel GPU Chipset, this is the fix. The Compatibility was flawless, as soon as I installed it, bam, Fallout 3 worked perfectly. I Thank the group who made this possible, you really fixed the issue withouht a complex process. And those of you who use Norton Anti-Virus software, disable your firewall and Anti-Virus auto protect when trying to download the file, it is legit, but due to nortons programming, it see it as a virus. Thanks again, It works well

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH

  • I am the admin but my pc is still saying, that I cant edit this file! wtf???

  • OMG you're a fucking legend you just saved me possibly weeks of frustration!!

  • access denied, how do i solve that and im using 3d analyzer

  • Thank you so much i subbed :D

  • Thanks man finally got it working

  • dude you saved my ass im gonna sub just because u save my game

  • Didn't work

  • this video got me passed my problem but have 2 new ones ... my game keeps crashing at the beginning scene and sometime when i become a baby the game freezes ... and for some reason my Fallout 3 has no Sound ... XD but everything else like YouTube or other apps still do any suggestions?

  • i bought f3 on steam, i cant find the bethesda folder or the fallout 3 folder

  • i tried everything and still have the crash... i used the dll, both, lowered settings, modified the ini, and still get the new game cash... any help? im also cursed by the intel hd graphics

  • @IruzHalsted the exact same problem here, goty edition freezes on starting a new game... depressing

  • @BigCesarable hey man got the solution, in case u didnt found it yet, the only thing u need to do, is reinstall the game, then, before everything else, make sure ur My Games folder dont have a Fallout 3 folder, if it does, delete it, t hen place the d3d9.dll on your fallout 3 rood folder, then done, no need to do anything else of the things on this video, it worked for me hope it works for you ! greetings Iruz.

  • @IruzHalsted funny story, i actually got it to work about 20 minutes after i posted the comment xD

  • R.I.P

    

  • My game dosen't even get to the starting movie can you help?

  • still doesn't work for me

  • Thank you so much dude I've been trying a while to get it to work

  • still doesn't work /:

  • Just one small comment to people for who the bUseThreadedAI=1 and iNumHWThreads=2 solution doesn't seem to work. Be aware there are two ini files. One in the game directory is called falloutdefault.ini, which I edited without result. But there's is another in the same location where your games are saved, named fallout.ini. I changed this one and voila, it worked. Fallout, including 1, 2 and New Vegas: the best game series ever made for the PC!

  • @obtthomas correction: ...But there is... instead of ...there's is...

  • You sir saved my life! I just got a new computer and I was frustrated that the game just crashed. You won 20 internets!

  • THANK YOU!! Fallout s my fave game and now i can take it places with my laptop your awesome!! :D

  • OMFG THANK YOU! i have been sitting looking for a fix and know you have provided me with one THANK YOU SO MUCH

  • You know, that is one thing that pisses me off with Bethesda . Great company and all but seriously ? Every time I buy a one of their games I always have to download or fix or remove or replace some shit with their game that makes it unplayable .... Kinda urks me .

    And that file didn't work download placed in my fallout 3 directory and still crashes to desktop . I tried running the through fose and without fose and still no luck =/

  • @SMDmcmuffin Yeah sure it's a pain in the ass but it's worth it when it's fixed :)

  • Well i think imma go look at the forums on steam cause this isnt helping

  • This is great THX it works now XD......

  • Still doesn't work :((

  • thank you thank you thank you

  • I LOVE YOU I HAVE SPENT 2 DAYS STRAIGHT TRYING TO FIX MY GOTY YOU ARE MY SAVYOUR

  • FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T MANAGE TO MAKE THIS WORK!

    Try editing BOTH fallout.ini and fallout_default.ini. Fallout.ini is located at "C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\My Games\Fallout 3" (windows 7). Make the same changes as you did to fallout_default.ini. I did this and my game works now. I also noticed that the gamefile at my games was called fallout3, I changed it to fallout 3. I don't know if it matters, but just to make sure.

  • I LOVE YOU!!!

  • Thank you very much, works now! Started to want to play this game again after watching Seamus play it.

  • so I did all the steps and it still crashes. When I tried to run it after deleting the video files, I pressed "new game" and it loaded. Then the screen went black, I heard a whooshing sound and three beeps (like from of those heart monitor machines in every movie set in a hospital) that sounds like it's a game sound effect.....and then nothing, just a black screen that I need to restart to get rid of. any advice?

  • Thanks dude it worked I have no more crashes on the game now.

  • the file you said to download dose not download on my computer it says something about no program to download it

  • @gamedude704 you "save" it not "open/run"..

  • @MissionAvoid

    Megaupload is gone. This video is not helpful anymore.

  • @CubanOverlord I updated the link a while ago, its on Mediafire now. If that goes down as well, I'll be sure to post a download link to other media sharing websites. Next time look at the description please ;)

  • This video defiently saved the gaming portion of my day, i thought my disk was just to scratched... but no after doing all the steps its working, thank you.

  • Comment removed

  • how do install fallout 3 iso with windows 7 with out it saying this game is incompatible.

    with windows 64 bit error???

  • Dude u just saved me from hours of frustration. THANK YOU

  • I love you.

  • Thanks a lot, this worked great!

  • @ MissionAvoid Thank you for your time to make this video-I did everything to make this F'n game work-I landed here and BAM! It works!

  • Thanks a ton dude, this worked.

  • @billyp335 same problem

  • Megaupload? Guess im fucked.

  • I did ALL of that and my computer STILL freezes when I try to start a new game! help?

  • Thanks man 1!!! i had i desirer to play the game and i keept crashing THNAK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

  • Nvidia* sorry I hate the auto correct on iPod

  • When I download the d3d9dll thing it forces my pc to play with the integrated graphics card ( intel G M A 3000) and not my midis one. This is kinda annoying because I cannot play the game on high settings

  • this made it worse for me

  • OMG dude thank you sooo much, i got Fallout 3 as a birthday present and it didnt work i was so upset, you just made my day!! THANK YOU!

  • Man I can not possibly thank you enough! I was so pissed when I couldn't get this to work!

  • For me it's not solve the problem!!!

  • no bethesda softworks folder. pretty much fucked without that

  • @xxliros99xx tis fine man

  • gv

  • Does it work for Windows 8?

  • @jordy0da No. Only Windows 10 and above are supported.

  • I did everything in the video and that kept the game from crashing on start up, but now it freezes every two minutes and I have to shut it down to try again, any suggestions for a fix?

  • i don't have the bethesda softworks folder but i play oblivion just fine, if i dont have the folder would i just drop the dll in fallout 3, and then it should work? please reply quick

  • Downloaded and scanned the D3D9 file with Panda and Avast antiviruses, clean. Reduced crashing and made the game run even smoother than it did (it already ran smoother than a baby's bottom), in fact, disturbingly so. Certain effects run too fast, but it does what it says on the box, at least mostly.

  • THX YOU!!!! you re the best men... WORKS!!!!

  • I love you. Seriously. Thank you SO much! I've tried EVERYTHING and nothing was working and I wanted to CRY because I don't have an xbox anymore so I wanted to play on my laptop and now I can!

  • Damn This Video Is Lame HOW THE HELL DO YOU OPEN THE DAMN THING I Have Dropped It To Desktop And It Wont Let Me Open

  • If you don't have a Besthesda Softworks Folder, then you're probably playing the game through Steam. If so, the folder is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\f­allout 3 goty

  • gd i draged it into my fallout 3 folder and it didnt work so i went to the short cut but there was no option to open file

  • i dont have a bethesda softworks folder =[ wtf do i do?

  • Works Perfect on Fallout New Vegas! Thanks HEAPS!! :)

  • That don't work Crash to desktop at launch continues

  • Does the file fix the problem of random freezes? My fallout 3 runs fine for like 30 minutes, then freezes. Restart game, i only have about 5 minutes before it freezes again. This keeps happening, will this small file solve that?

  • I have a problem

    I changed the UAC to "Never Notify" but I still get the "access denied" error.

    Fixes?

  • WHAT IS THE SONG!!! D;

  • thanks, u r the boss

  • @TheDPG10007 You can run it still on ultra (if your actual graphics card can handle it), it changes the name of the graphics card (for F3 only).

  • @MissionAvoid geforce 580m, and oh thanks then i figured it out, good fix :)

  • @TheDPG10007 Yes happened to me. But I just changed it to ultra because my graphics cards amazing<3333

  • f**k i have a intel hd graphics 3000 it runs crysis 2 on medium with bearly any frame dropage but it cant run a game with a engine from 2006(the fallout 3 engine is from oblivion)

  • Uhm, I downloaded this and put it in the right folder and now the settings say I have a different graphics card than the one I actually have.

  • You My Friend Are The Shit. I Have Intel HD 1000 (GT1) (Dunno if that's right) tried this and now it runs perfectly I've spent 3 fucking hours searching and trying all sorts of shit.

  • Sigh nothing works, the game worked just fine the last time i played it..now its unplayable, New game, birth then crash crash crash and guess what? Crash crash crash oh and some more crash crash crash, good thing i got the game on my Xbox360 or i would have not been able to play at all.

    I guess i have to keep playing on my xbox 360 cause apperently you have to have a IQ of 300 to start a new game on a computer.

    And yes i have tried every thing i could find on google and youtube.

  • @toyy7675 Windows 7 just keeps looking worse and worse, nothing works on it.

    How a windows 7 computer can be worth more then 10 dollars are beyond my understanding.

  • Hey, so I just did everything, but then, it starts a vid showing a baby crying, and then about two seconds in it freezes. What should I do?

  • thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

  • Oh! It works! Thank You very much!

  • Thank you very much, sir!

  • First and foremost; Do NOT install your games into your Program Files folders when running WinVista or Win7! They have extra security measures such as your root, Users and Windows folders have also. Do yourself a favor and install your games into a dedicated Games folder, such as C:\Games or even better, a separate HD altogether. Why game developers still insist that most games should be installed into Program Files is seriously beyond my comprehension.

  • Thanks a lot man! Worked for my girlfriend's laptop with that intel HD crap lol :) +1 like

  • I <3 U!! it works with the .dll :*

  • You Saved me. Thank you.
