Okay, so. The other day I was being the nerd and I'm playing FO3 on my 360. I decided to do the mission where you have to help dad out with the water purifier, then worked my way to the part where you need to clean the pipes. Now, I went to the big pipe, then walked through it until I get to the door that says "the capital wasteland" which was right where the objective is. well, when the game was finished loading, I could hear the door close then the screen stayed black. I pressed the xbox button to show the menu and its still black, like it crashed. Then I shut off the console, reloaded and same result. Well I thought "screw it" and decided to go out the other way and do something else. Same result. So I take the disc out and its spotless, xbox didn't scratch it. I even cleaned it so there is not a spec of dust or anything on it. Try it again and still same result. Now I'm pissed off. I decide to start a new profile and I can go outside and do everything normal, but I want to use my old profile since I made huge progress on it. What do I do?

What to do?

What the world needs to do right now is a rescue operation. The global credit system is in a state of paralysis, and a global slump is building momentum as I write this. Reform of the weaknesses that made this crisis possible is essential, but it can wait a little while. First, we need to deal with the clear and present danger. To do this, policymakers around the world need to do two things: get credit flowing again and prop up spending.

The first task is the harder of the two, but it must be done, and soon. Hardly a day goes by without news of some further disaster wreaked by the freezing up of credit. As I was writing this, for example, reports were coming in of the collapse of letters of credit, the key financing method for world trade. Suddenly, buyers of imports, especially in developing countries, can't carry through on their deals, and ships are standing idle: the Baltic Dry Index, a widely used measure of shipping costs, has fallen 89 percent this year.

What lies behind the credit squeeze is the combination of reduced trust in and decimated capital at financial institutions. People and institutions, including the financial institutions, don't want to deal with anyone unless they have substantial capital to back up their promises, yet the crisis has depleted capital across the board.

The obvious solution is to put in more capital. In fact, that's a standard response in financial crises. In 1933 the Roosevelt administration used the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to recapitalize banks by buying preferred stock—stock that had priority over common stock in terms of its claims on profits. When Sweden experienced a financial crisis in the early 1990s, the government stepped in and provided the banks with additional capital equal to 4 percent of the country's GDP—the equivalent of about $600 billion for the United States today—in return for a partial ownership. When Japan moved to rescue its banks in 1998, it purchased more than $500 billion in preferred stock, the equivalent relative to GDP of around a $2 trillion capital injection in the United States. In each case, the provision of capital helped restore the ability of banks to lend, and unfroze the credit markets.

Pah Hahahaha

Get rid of the game, at the end, your rads go up and you die and that's the end of it. Have fun.

Nice copy paste.

Fallout 3 is buggy as **** and freezes constantly, I feel yah, brotha'.

And that's the least of my problems with the game.

I've played a lot of fallout 3, and I haven't ran into any bugs i can think of.
i've had a crash here and there, but thats it. though those were mainly due to mods.

Fallout 3 is a Bethesda RPG. Prepare for crashes: keep 3 save files, and cycle through saving on them.

As much as I love Fallout 3. The excessive glitches, and crashes makes it annoying.

That game pisses me off so much.. it won't run on my system because it doesn't support the graphics card I have.

You guys are lucky. My little sister threw a ball at my 360 while I was playing FO3 and well. The disc was scratched. And now the game crashes every 2 minutes.

I play it on 360 and I've yet to experience any crashes. And there's supposed to be an update or something about the end of the game anyway.

So what everybody is saying is that I'm screwed?

Go get it for PC.











Now.

Nah screw the PC version get the PS3 version. I have yet to experience a single crash/glitch and i have made TONS of progress
