Ran a search and I only saw the false announcement thread from earlier this week. This was released today on Bethesda's site. I came across it while browsing their patch list.

Enjoy

Thank you Heru for the patch notes

4. Update 1.0.0.15 Notes Bug Fixes Fixed occasional crashes when exiting the game or using Alt F4 to exit. Fixed crashes when using Alt-Tab while binks or credits were playing. The game now restarts properly after title updates finish installing.

Update: For everyone having crashing issues with Fallout 3, there is a fan-made fix available below. It fixed all issues for me. Give it a shot. It will take awhile to extract, but is clean and in use by many members of the community. I'll provide a link to the Bethesda forums on the topic as well.

Note: This is available on many torrents. It is a fix made by skullptura and works like a charm. This is simply a direct download of it.

3. If you continue to experience crashes, exit and download the user-fix.
4. Extract the user-fix and launch game again.
5. Post here if you continue to have trouble, otherwise, congratulations

weak patch :/

 

[FozzieBlair]

its a shame it doesn't do a thing for everyone with in-game crashes.

but hey i'm glad they fixed the crashes when i exit the game...cause that's the real inconvenient part...right?

nice Bethesda are working a whole lot faster than anothe company (Ubisoft

) to get the improvements out

 

[Furai]

Update: Crash fix posted as well. Give it a shot. Worked for me

I can't either...I thought my work was blocking it, but I tried on my other network...no dice.

Could someone post the change log if you can view it?

Not missing much by not being able to see them... >_>

I was hoping for an HDR fix. I do not crash but my HDR goes nuts in this game of course I could turn it off but that would kill part of the enjoyment. That and the micro stuttering are my biggest issues. I do not stutter tons but its enough that it bugs. HDR to me is a much bigger issue.

I'm still running my 4870's and the hdr is like a strobe light outside if i turn around.

This patch hugely helped with performance though. Seriously a night and day difference.

Read the edited OP.

And, by the way, I find it funny how skullptura, a pirate, made this, and is getting some praise for it.

Skullpturas fix works regardless of whether the game is legitimate or not. It was released as a fix for all of the crashes in the game itself, not for any cracks. You're labeling him because it was released by a known cracker who was actually releasing something legal and good for once.

Not for me. I'm getting stuttering now. Maxed out except for the AA. Was fine before this patch :-/

At least it got rid of the pesky crashing on exit.

Nice! Awesome cheers. Just in time when my copy arrives on monday

. Its funny a hacker is able to create a better patch than the people who are working for Bethesda.

Rep+
