You have a lot of nice suggestions, but rather than Stutter Remover, I suggest ENB. Get the FO3/FNV version here: http://enbdev.com/mod_falloutnv_v0249.htm
Then use these settings for enblocal.ini: [PROXY] EnableProxyLibrary=false InitProxyFunctions=true ProxyLibrary=other_d3d9.dll
ENBs won't work with Intel integrated graphics cards to my knowledge. I have tried for a couple hours to get all of the ENBs on the Nexus to work. The problem is that Intel integrated cards need a certain d3d9.dll to play Fallout 3, but the one that comes with the ENB series doesn't work, and the game CTDs upon trying to load the main menu.
(I tried the link you gave again, plus your changes, using the d3d9.dll that comes with the ENB. I can get to the main menu now, but I always CTD while trying to load a save)
Are you using an integrated graphics card and an ENB?
The "UseEffect=false" means all graphics processing is bypassed and it does nothing to the video at all. That's why I mentioned that. In essence, ENB is only being used for the memory handling, speedhack, bug patches, and of course the frame rate limiting. I should have mentioned that you really need to use the injector method, not the wrapper method. The wrapper method requires setting more ini settings to properly handle the dll wrapping, which is probably why it crashed on you.
Copy the injector version files to the game folder (not the data folder), then make the changes to enblocal.ini and enbseries.ini mentioned above. Then run ENBInjector.exe once each time you reset the PC. While it is running, it will then catch the game being launched and inject itself into the game. You'll tell it's working because you'll get a block of red text in the upper left of the screen right as the title is shown.
Thank for trying to help. I got the ENB injector working, but it won't let me load the ENB with Fallout Script Extender, which is essential for Fallout Wanderer's Edition and a lot of my mods. I already have a stable game with good fps, so I'd rather keep that and all my mods than go back to vanilla Fallout 3 and gain a few fps.
Weird, I run ENB with FOSE just fine. I don't run FWE, though. Maybe it's the combination of the three that causes trouble. I'll have to try that sometime. I think FO3 is a little more finicky than FONV or Skyrim. I can't get Mod Organizer to launch FOSE, for example. It just CTDs when FOSE tries to call the MO hook... which is too bad since MO is really nice. Instead, I make BSA files for most of my FO3 mods to try to keep it cleaner. I have VERY few loose files in my FO3 data directory.
I don't use enb, but I can assume the reason you can't run fose is due to not correctly setting the proxy in the INI. Ires the first line... Shouldn't be false.

Then use these settings for enblocal.ini:
[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=false
InitProxyFunctions=true
ProxyLibrary=other_d3d9.dll
[PERFORMANCE]
SpeedHack=true
[MULTIHEAD]
ForceVideoAdapterIndex=false
VideoAdapterIndex=0
[MEMORY]
ExpandSystemMemoryX64=false
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=false
DisablePreloadToVRAM=false
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false
ReservedMemorySizeMb=64
VideoMemorySizeMb=0
EnableCompression=true
[WINDOW]
ForceBorderless=false
ForceBorderlessFullscreen=false
[ENGINE]
ForceAnisotropicFiltering=true
MaxAnisotropy=16
AddDisplaySuperSamplingResolutions=false
[LIMITER]
WaitBusyRenderer=false
EnableFPSLimit=true
FPSLimit=30.0
[INPUT]
KeyCombination=16
KeyUseEffect=123
KeyFPSLimit=36
KeyShowFPS=106
KeyScreenshot=44
KeyEditor=13
KeyFreeVRAM=115
[ANTIALIASING]
EnableEdgeAA=false
EnableAccumulativeAA=false
[FIX]
FixGameBugs=true
FixTransparencyBugs=true
Then be sure the global effects setting in enbseries.ini is off:
[GLOBAL]
UseEffect=false
If your GPU can't handle anisotropic filtering, change the line in enblocal.ini to
ForceAnisotropicFiltering=false
ENB has the frame limiting ability of Stutter Remover, and a whole lot more. It will make your game much more stable with far more mods added.
