NOTE: please replace crash with freeze in my post. This gives a better description of my issue. Thank you.
I have played FO3GOTY for YEARS!!!! with very little crashes; like maybe 3-4 a play-through. Then just recently - like a week ago, I get crashes every time I move, fast travel, etc. with NO understanding as to the cause of this issue. I have read a few note/posts on the topic and there seems to be an issue with multi core processors and/or AMD processors, but again, until now, I have never had continual game crashes like I am experiencing at the moment. I would greatly appreciate any and all input/comments, HOWEVER, please leave the roasting, joking, unkind comments to yourself. If you post a comment and there are 2 ways to take the comment, I will take the offensive meaning and report it. I have had my warnings and have stopped. So can you. Thank you for your time,

And yes, I can run my pc as a server. Sorry, I have not been able to get a newer Video Card due to cost and or availability.
Farques 0 reputation 0 kudos 44 posts Thanks man, this really stops me from pulling my hair out. Though i still have crashes, they dont happen every 10 minutes like they used to be.
Also, how can you tell if you have a multiple quad processor? ....
"control panel then click on "system" then see what you are running"
It's just AMAZING and UNREAL how I can actually play my Fallout 3 game now with some studdering but no crashes as of yet. I've been playing for the last hour and it's wonderful.
Before, I would Sprint or would enter a new area near Willhelm's Warf and the game would just freak out. Not anymore. She's a 100% more stable and it's just great. I always loved Fallout 3, but got away from it because of all the crashing. No more!
And I'm running FWE + MMM + EVE + all other kinds of stuff too.
What did it for me, was downloading CFF Explorer and setting both FOSE and the FO3 App to use addresses >2GB in the File Header.
And I downloaded the Game performance booster and set that to use FOSE. Thank You Again!!!
This guide helped me a sh*tload ! My game constantly crashed earlier but now it runs even smoother and ive played for about 3 hours without crashing ! (it used to crash every 5-10 minutes )
In the guide you asked to be informed about other fixes and I think this may be a fairly good one - Invisible Wall Bug Remover. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15877&tab=4&navtag=/modules/comments/index2.php?tid=312820|:|fid=15877|:|sort=DESC#fileanchor
It kinda seems that way, but I'm still going to leave the link in there for now but will fix soon untill I know it's totally gone, once I know for sure it's gone then I will remove it and once I do I will be up dating my crash guide with some other stuff I found out hehehehe
