Official FUCK YOU Bethesda thread (Fallout 3 crashes)

[Charismatic]

Am I the only one with the PC version of Fallout 3 who crashes a LOT? I figure 1/3 of my 'playtime' is spent dealing with crashes and shit.

[Correction]

No crashes for me. Some weird 'NPC suddenly dies' bugs but that's what frequent saving is for.

[SamanosukeShiva]

PS3 version have alot of bugs, i sold my fallout3 copy like a week after and traded it for valkyria chronicle, couldnt be more satisfied.

[Maguspk]

Getting it for 360 because of this.

[Deejay]

Yeah I have the PS3 version, only about 10 hours in and I've crashed 5+ times. Shit got so annoying that I actually put the game down to finish Fable 2.

[Charismatic]

Seriously... started a new character and now I'm stuck outside Vault 101 because when I load the game I crash, every. single. time.

Makes me wonder how the fuck I made it past this the first time.

[Kyo]

My 360 version hasnt crashed and the only bug Ive noticed is a few floors in a building in grayditch the colors go in and out but nothing major, 181 hours on my playthrough and no crashes.

[Stiker]

Only issue that I have had thus far was that every time I take the G.O.A.T., I have to reload a previous save because it seems I can't ever get the test to start the first time...only the second.

Other than that, there are just a few spots that I can get permanently stuck in and that is it.

You can skip the goat, be an ass hole to the teacher and he'll let u skip.

Woooooooo, finally made it... it must be something about that lighting effect when you first come out.
I quickly turned around and opened the door to go back into the vault and then went right back out and now I'm playing just fine.

I remember another thing that crashed me was trying to talk to Mister Burke in Megaton... I did quicksave before talking to him and I kept trying over and over but I'd crash every time.
Did some googling and found that I'm not the only one that's getting these issues, I hope there's a patch soon or something.

[Kazen]

PS3 version, I have like 30 hours of gameplay and not a single crash yet.

[Delekii]

Have yet to crash in Fallout 3, which is some kind of amazing miracle considering Oblivicrash.

[MisterBob]

PS3 version as well, 50+ hours and no crash.

[Siralin]

I had some crashes when I first started, but I updated my graphics card drivers and haven't had one since. (1 full play-through, and about 50% of another)

[Elcura]

Logged about 40 hours in PS3 version and only 1 crash which happened when I jumped in the air for some reason. But that was pretty early on and after that, nothing...

graphics card drivers are up-to-date... but after some reading it's looking like I may need to update my sound card drivers, heh.
going to sleep now, gonna try that tomorrow... hope it works.

[BRP]

Most crashes occur because of a codec problem. I had roughly 1 crash ever 20 hours.

[Wintermute]

I had about 2 maybe 3 corrupt saves that would crash on load but fortunately I save often.

Most bugs are NPCs being shot into the sky then falling 200ft.
Had the spazzed out corpse happen once or twice and a few general graphic or clipping glitches.

Have to say, the clipping ones where I got stuck were by far the worst.

[Pyro]

So far not a single crash on my PS3 version. Although I did have that bug where the quest wouldn't clear once I did what I was tasked to do.

[Not Kuno]

I crash constantly on PC.
