Is Fallout 3 having issues with its performance?
Here is the situation: I recently reinstalled Fallout 3 to replay it on my new PC, but whenever I reach the gender selection screen, the whole system freezes. Pressing the power button doesn’t help, and everything only unfreezes when I select a different option. I checked YouTube for solutions, but they only made it worse, freezing right before the gender picker appeared. It worked on my Windows 10 laptop (A8-7410) and even on my C2Q computer with Windows 7. Sorry if my profile description is in the wrong format.
Fallout 3 isn't officially compatible with anything beyond Vista, which runs on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. You might find some fixes helpful, though results will differ.
it's strange i didn't encounter any mods while searching, but i'll give it a shot now.
Some hardware enjoys Fallout 3 while others don't. I employ mods such as CTD and Memory patch ENBoost, https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19369, Fake Fullscreen Mode Windowed - Alt Tab Fix, https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/16001, Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch, https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/3808, or the updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch, https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19122. Occasionally I opt for this to sidestep problems. Quick Start Game at Vault 101 Entrance, https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/3562.
