I did what you did, I was prompted to restart my computer after disabling my drivers and when I launched F3 (from the application in its directory) it didn't even open, just a black screen instantly, so I cant even make it to the menu any more.
You are clearly a genious... i keed... this caused my game to crash before the menu even came up for me to select New Game it does what it says.. fixes the crash for the new game.. because it crashes before that.
@angelofequilibrium u r rite.. this question was also in my mind when i got this problem resolved by this method.. its can b briefed by the developers
@angelofequilibrium yeah i had the same problem too but i figured that if i deleted the high definiton real teck audio driver that it would install in success so i went to control panel system and maintence then i went to drivers and deleted the high definiton real teck audio driver then restarted computer, as soon as it was loaded it said installing new driver, so i waited about 2 mins and it succesfuly installed letting me play fallout 3 :D

Doesn't work. When I tried to run after disabling the sound driver, it said that there was no sound driver detected (imagine that) and that it couldn't run.
@DarthKeyrus man man man man man man man man...in the vid i told not to run the game from desktop coz isthat shortcut it not to the fallout.exe...its for the launcher.exe..and whenever started from launcher.exe it says NO sound Driver found...go to installation folder and run fallout.exe
@acemaster600 u might b using windows xp or ur version of game is not full instalation type..i.e it has been extrected through some method..but its not the problem.. u have nothing to do with that icon/exe becos its a loader
@OnepieceDubandSub man many of friends here follow the steps upto Disabling the sound device.. but still they do 1 mistake..they either load the game through desktop game.exe or the use loader.exe which is present in the Start menu games folder... tha one present on the desktop is also shortcut to the loader.exe.. so use the game exe present in your installation folder..
@shwagtarded yeah that was what i was talking about... fallout3.exe ..people usually use to loader.exe from game directory in start menu(Vista and win 7)..dont use that.
@megaricardas it works for both windows XP and vista/7 users. make sure that Uve disabled both of the default sound drivers and devices. Dont run the game from the GAMES directory in the start menu (if u r using Windows 7) bu use FALLOUT3.EXE from the game folder were uve installed it. still if u find trouble do tell me.
@khaqansaleemchanner im getting the prob still i disable my sound device (the only 1 i have) went to my bethesda softworks folder and clicke on fallout 3 no the launcher pls tell me wats up my compter is windows xp
@emantharp5 bro can you tell me how you disabled your sound device..by disabling sound device i meant to diable the SOUND DRIVER..you can access sound driver through control panal or simple cliking right on MY computer and then klik the hardware(or similar option like devices/drivers) then when ull acess th drivers u will find your driver and by right kliking disable it..if you still having problem in locating the driver in Xp plz google its path coz im afraid ive forgo it exactly
@khaqansaleemchanner it wont let me dis able it says legacy audio driver when i raght click it the only options i get r update, properties , and scan for hardware changes.
