I'm trying to run Fallout 3 GotYE and after a few minutes of gameplay, everything but the sound will freeze up and it will stop responding.

I've tried:

Updating drivers,
Running Steam in compatibility mode with Vista,
Running Fallout3.exe in compatibility mode with Vista,
Running both at the same time in blah you get it,
Changing settings to lowest,
Using that "game booster" software,
Changing it to windowed mode (like that'd do anything).

Help? :C

how did you run both at the same time in "blah you get it.exe"

Fallout 3 gave me the same stuff and I got about the same setup. Great game, bad... software.

I do apologise with the four page bump here, however the thread is merely a day old, so I trust it's forgivable. I am currently reinstalling the game; not sure if it will do anything, but I've worth a try.

Never had any major problem with the Fallout series.

Not for a second will my computer play games from a disc. Thank goodness there's Steam. But sadly that would mean I'd have to buy the damn game a fourth time. Once for PC then it broke, once for 360, a second time for 360 when I got Game of the Year, and another for getting Fallout 3: GotY on Steam... I say forget it.

And like I said earlier, same thing happened to me and I don't know what to do. Best of luck to you though.

I just bought it with no problems. I would suggest updating fallout. I don't believe that Steam gives you the most recent version.
