Fallout 3 issue

[Revoltix]

Good evening

I have finished the majority of Fallout 3 on ps3. However I'm experiencing at random times slow down or at times the game stops, but a total system freeze as the background sounds are still heard and sometimes after a few minutes the system wakes up.

Unfortunately my save file now loads straight into a craptastic freeze up now.

I was going to start the game again anyways as I missed a few things the first time around, but I was curious to see if anyone else had experienced similar happenings.

Yep pretty much. It doesn't matter what system you play it on, they're all going to have fairly similar problems when it come to any Bethesda game.

Just do what everyone else does, save constantly and keep your saves from crucial moments at the ready. That way you won't have that far to crawl back when the game ****s up again (and believe me it will).

Yeah. I lost 40 hours in Oblivion once because of Bethesda's bugs.

And yes, no exaggeration, the save file said 40 hours.

Ah crap, I was afraid of something like this happening.When it started I began to make regular save points, every 10-15 minutes as I would get to certain locations and I'd be left waiting or the system would crash.

The only thing is, I have saved inside a building, as soon as I exit the building it freezes. Essentially I am doomed to live in the two room building forever.

I will start a new game on the weekend
