Fallout 3 Windows 7 freeze fix?

Try putting your heater on it to thaw it out. Failing that get better insulation for your home. It's probably not healthy for your child if your playpen gets that cold btw.

First question: What are your PC specs?

This resolved some people's problems, including mine. It might not be what you need, and it WILL reset your video settings. You should be able to put them right back how you like them, however. It shouldn't eat your savegame but might (not that you necessarily care.)

Good luck!

I have 1 method saved. Try this.

That game is buggy and is a poor console port. I got 8 crashes in about 100 hours of playtime

FUCK ME IT WAS RUNNING ON MY INTEL GRAPHICS CARD INSTEAD OF MY NVIDIA -_-

Try running it with compatibility mode windows xp. Also, run it as an administrator through task manager.

I used this to fix my fallout 3 http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/3808 , it never crashed anymore and a lot of bugs were fixed.
