had it already installed before W7 upgrade.
tried to play, launcher would just restart over and over.
re-installed the game, patched, etc. same thing happening
even in Admin mode or compatibility mode.
anyone else having this issue with Fallout 3?
If you're using pre-beta drivers...you might want to look for updates. In my case, fallout3 was looping because of an error in reading the name "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 (prerelease - WDDM 1.1)...the dash is what your suppose to have...but my older drivers used -- (forgot what it's called when you combine 2 dashes). After updating, it became a dash and it worked...try it.
here are my PC specs
Core 2 Quad 6600 stock
gigabyte X38 DS4 board
4gigs kingston hyper x
Radeon 3870x2 crossfired with 3870
using ATI drivers 9.1 beta for Windows 7.
i will try that later when im not at work
thanks for the help dcommander
