Fallout 3 GOTY instant crash fix

By FinnishSpirit

If my other crash fix isnt working you can try this one.
Open your File Explorer and follow this path:
This pc -> Documents -> My Games -> Fallout3
And then delete all the .ini files and also the RendererInfo.text file.
Then you can start your Fallout 3 again and it should work
Heres my other fix too if you havent tried it:

Neither of your fixes work. Gotta love steam allowing the sale of broken games on thier platform

Alright hold up, I've been struggling for the last week to get either the steam or Xbox version to run. This is what has finally worked. God bless you ❤️

This is the way. Deleting the files did the trick under the My Games Folder 🥇

Thank you for your fixes! My game was crashing on launch, but with both of your fixes as well as just deleting everything in that folder, my game now works fine.
