Seriously the game has crashed on my computer at least 25 times. My computer specs:
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT
AMD phenom 9600 Quad-core
4 gb ram
1 Terabyte of free space
...I just about did everything, I ran the game as administrator, I windowed it, I ran at the lowest settings possible. I adjusted my firewall, anti-virus anti-spyware, anti-adware programs. I got the final fix world-patch from Skullptura, I took off the previous hot-fix, I googled for a solution, still nothing. The value of the game for me has gone down a lot, I mean did they rush the projects from console ports and transferred to the PC and barely tested for bugs?!?:banghead: Is there any solutions, has Bethesda released any patches yet that I haven't found out about, ones that I haven't tested yet?

My PC has yet to give me the RROD, so I'm fine.:wave:I grew out of the console phase years ago.

Haven't heard of anyone having any problems like that. Actually, it's remarkably stable for being right out of the box IMHO. I've only ran into a few in game glitches that are a little annoying, but nothing game breaking, and certainly nothing that causes it to crash.

I've only experienced one crash, and that was after playing for about 4 hours...I think the game was telling me to take a break.

oblivion did that to me all the time.
fallout 3 hasn't crashed more than twice for me I don't think. Other than that I've only gotten physics/rag doll glitch things.

mine's crashed a few times, but I am running it on a Macbook Pro using boot camp. It hasnt really crashed that often though, so no worries.

I feel bad for the guys who play games like this on consoles. When the construction set is released they'll be missing out on all the mods.

I'm so inconsiderate, I didn't realize your snatch was full of sand. Chaffing sucks.

Nope. Google search shows theres lots of other people with the same problems, on several different forums.

Well, mine runs fine and my computer has nothing new in it.
Tried updating your GFX drivers ?
Make sure your game refresh rates are the same as the monitors ? try lowering them both ?

Yeah the majority of PC game problems are fixed by updating to the latest graphics drivers. You should even try using BETA drivers and see if those work.
Just make sure you use a driver cleaner program like DriverCleaner.NET which will completely remove the old driver before you install the new one.

I get the game crashing all the time too, but I think it only happens for those who torrented the game. Updated my drivers and downloaded the patch, still the same.

No, I "got it for free" it and it runs very smooth and without any crashes but it also depends on what release you dl. Good game...
