Have fun, it is a great game when it works.

The only thing I've found that doesn't work with NV is the initial load when you first start the game. Easiest fix is to start a new game, skip all the intro cut scenes, when you finally are in the game, load your save file. Otherwise, there's a good chance you'll get stuck on the loading screen if you just "Continue".

For those who want to try Fallout 3 on PC, first thing you want to do is find the executable file, go to properties and click "Run as Administrator".

Then find the config file in the same folder and do this (found on another forum):

"This is the multicore fix and is one of the most important things. You should do this for Fallout 3 and New Vegas if you have a quadcore processor (or any processor with more than 2 cores). The Gamebyro engine (which runs fallout 3 and NV) has issues with 2 or more cores. This fix forces the game to run on two cores. It will fix a LARGE majority of crashing for most people.

Go to /Documents/My games/Fallout 3/
Find fallout.ini
Open with notepad
Use find (Ctrl F) and type "bUseThreadedAI=0" without quotes
Replace "bUseThreadedAI=0 " with "bUseThreadedAI=1"
Add an extra line and type "iNumHWThreads=2"
*If you STILL have a lot of crashes you can reduce that number to 1 but it will effect game performance. *
I did not have these two lines of text but after adding them the game works fine."
