GAME CRASHES on Quad Core Computers

OK, I had to edit this review. From the **s down was my original review with that had 5 stars. But after playing this game for many hours and finding a Bug in the game that crashes it completely, I've reduced my rating to a 1 star. Apparently gamers who are playing this game on a quad core computer will have problems with the game when you enter certain buildings especially small houses or shacks. Many players just tried to avoid houses throughout the entire game so that it wouldn't crash. Unfortunately there is a part called Tranquility Lane, where you must enter a house to continue the game... in this house is where the most freezes happen. I've done very much research on this crash and it seems to only be happening on Quad Core systems. There is a fix that has been created by a "user" that involves you editing an .ini game file. Frankly you shouldn't have to edit your own game files to be able to play a game. Bethesda should have tested this game on a quad core system and fixed this before it was ever released. Many of us have contacted Bethesda about this and all received an automated response that had nothing to do with this problem. One person even went as high as writing the president of the company, but was then blocked by someone in management. I suggest you do your own research before buying this game... do a search for game freezes in house or crashes in buildings. There are many... many forums dedicated to this one problem that have been ignored by the staff of Bethesda. I'm very disappointed, as I said before, this game had so much potential. ************************* Original Review ************************************* Very good open world game. Not as big as Oblivion or Morrowind, but just as much fun. This game is not Oblivion with guns though. There is a very big difference with the fighting and VATS system. Also, the leveling system is still very similar to the other two Fallouts, which is way different than the Elder Scrolls series. The visuals are absolutely stunning and the gameplay is fun and challenging. The people you meet seem to have real personalities and can the way you interact with them can change the game very much. I like the leveling up system, and too me it still feels like the Fallout universe even if it is now 1st person. Just make sure your PC can handle this game. I have a very nice gaming machine that I built myself, and it can barely run this game on Ultra, so I just keep the graphics on high. (My PC: MSI Geforce NX88000GT OC, Intel Core2 Quad 6600 cpu OC'd, 8 GB of Ram, XFX nForce 680i Lt Mobo, Antec TruePower Quatro 1000w ps)(I am actually thinking of upgrading my gpu, because that is the only thing holding me back from playing it on ultra) If all of that is gibberish to you and you don't have a newer gaming PC than you probably can't play this game on it. Check out the specs for the game before you buy this. This game is definitely not for kids: the language is very explicit and the violence is very bloody and extreme.Read full review
