Forum:Why does Fallout 3 (pc) crash on pc?

Okay. I recently got Fallout 3 and it's been playing pretty smoothly until the part I'm supposed to follow Liberty Prime to the Jefferson Memorial. When the robot lifts out of the ground, the game gets laggy, but it's not that bad. Plus, I'm not really looking at it until it gets put on the crane and moved outside the city. Then, right as I head out the door heading to the gate, as the gate lifts, the game crashes to desktop. I can't figure out what it is. My computer handles crysis with pride and I've updated the patch for Fallout 3. Any suggestions?71.228.102.191 17:34, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
