Deinstalled ffdshow and it works. But there must be another way. I don't want to keep installing ffdshow all the time.
Some settings in ffd that has to be tweaked or something?
EDIT: Deinstalled CCCP and rebooted, reinstalled CCCP and now all is ok.
EDIT II: | Bart1983 wrote: |
I had the same issue. I hope you did not remove the codecs because there is an option in ffdshow audio and video decoder settings where you can exclude programs so that they don't use the fddshow codec. |
Cheers!, missed your comment as its a bit early  .
This is how.
Open ffdshow audio decoder configuration
DirectShow control
Hit the EDIT button (Don't use ffdshow in:)
Hit the Add... button
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3
and click the "Fallout3" icon

To be honest I just think it's unfinished in it's current state. You should not have to be installing/uninstalling anything to make it work. Its a new title from an established software house so it's their job to make it work properly, not yours (as long as your machine meets minimum reqs that is).
Nor should you have to be creating exceptions in codecs. It's just sloppy testing imo. I had the crashing on mine but it was the Game DSP mode in my ASUS drivrers causing it btu still, 30 mins into the game it crashes. VACS casues all sorts of probs as well. It just needs patching.

I feel I have different problem - then starting the new game intro movie starts, after few sec the whole movie image freeze (only sound is alive), after some time, on the left top corner, small part of intro starts to move (other parts of image on screen are still frozen); after few moments whole intro move image starts to move and freeze after few seconds...and this happens all the way long.
Reinstalling not helping, have new drivers of 8600 GST 512MB
Any suggestions are welcome!

mmmh, havent installed fallout3 yet, but will do so in a minute or two. But i never had a problem wich any game with the ffdshow-filter. BUT: i had alot of issues with vobsub/directvobsub/vsfilter. There are at least three games - if not more - in the last two years that crashed with it installed.
So you might want to check for that if you still get crashes without ffdshow enabled.
(will be back if my install of f3 also crashes in a minute or two  )

well, it does crash on me too, even if i disable ffdshow O_O
EDIT: ran it in windowed mode and saw that it was actually my firewall/av crashing the system. Had to set the launcher to trusted. Now it loads the menu...

just a note to other people having massive CTDs. The game is way less crash-prone (1 in 3 hours vs. 1 in 3 minutes), when played in windowed-mode, for whatever reason...

oh, didnt know that.
from glancing over the batch file it looks like he is "just" reincoding all the ogg files to a different quality. Should bethesda really have botched all their audio files?
And chances are you have to reinstall, if an official patch comes along, so i m not sure if i should actually use the patch. Did it work for you gold24?

I really recommend to get the CLONEDVD release from AVEGNED. That and the No DVD mini image from GCW just works!.
The only thing that is a bit tedious is that you have to change a line in Regedit every time you fire up the PC, or try with YASU (for some reason that did not work for me)
The AVENGED version might be hard to find, and if you find it might take long to dl. Took me 2 days on a crappy torrent (it was not completely upped on Unet).
I had like 2 crashes so far using this release, and both where just before the game loaded (from launcher).

i had this same New Game crash to (in Vista)
what i did:
i have dual boot system (winxp and vista)
- went to XP (deleted the in Vista installed Fallout 3)
- installed again in XP (same folder as in Vista, because with the Vista install won't start either)
- start it in XP (worked, no New Game crash)
- went to Vista (started up, NO reinstall, and was working)
- also i uinstalled ffdshow before install in XP, but didnt help to run in Vista (reinstalled LATEST ffdshow, for wathing moviez, dont have excluded Fallout 3 for using ffdshow )
hope this helps for some of you to 
(using evga 8800GTX, Forceware 175.19, E8500 dual core and using rld version, no miniimage or something)
