| 1276053 | 2012-05-18 01:57:00 | I have Fallout 3 and it crashes while Skyrim doesn't crash. They both have huge maps and I can run Skyrim on ultra fine and it dosn't crash, and when running Fallout 3 on LOWEST graphics possible it still crashes. Why??:mad: | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1276054 | 2012-05-18 02:01:00 | Ones probably buggier than the other | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1276055 | 2012-05-18 02:33:00 | All depends on the crash. Check the errors if any, check the game companies forum on what others have done or if any patches and stuff for it. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1276056 | 2012-05-18 02:37:00 | Fallout 3 is quite a bit older than Skyrim, and the "Games for Windows" it uses has always been buggy as. I have both games, post some detail of the crash and we might be able to troubleshoot it. |

| 1276057 | 2012-05-18 02:49:00 | As said, some are buggier than others. This is often caused when the game developers have given up on doing decent upgrades. But there's so many other scenarios, eg, some require more PSU power, more GPU power, incompatibility with your current software, overheating from a particular game... the list goes on. As also mentioned, best go to a website forum who support your particular game problem, and to keep it simple, I'd suggest don't mention the name of the "good" game which doesn't cause the crashes. |

| 1276058 | 2012-05-18 03:13:00 | No there was no error report. I'll check some forums out. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1276059 | 2012-05-18 05:20:00 | Forget the fact they are both games, asking why one piece of software crashes and another doesn't has an obvious answer - because they are different programs written by different people. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1276060 | 2012-05-18 05:47:00 | Forget the fact they are both games, asking why one piece of software crashes and another doesn't has an obvious answer - because they are different programs written by different people. Except they are similar games built by the same company.... Its fair to assume that both are built on the same game engine. But, Both are known to be crash happy, so the question should probably be, Why is my Skyrim more stable then what other people have reported? |

| 1276061 | 2012-05-18 06:00:00 | The game engine is probably the same as you can do the same things you can do in Skyrim. I think it's a fair bet that it is. It's layout is very familiar too. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1276062 | 2012-05-18 06:12:00 | I'll edit the .ini files and see what happens..... | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
