Download the.dll file and drop it right into the Fallout 3 folder from the compressed RAR file. It should help your issue. I was having the same issue with this game and will also try for New Vegas next. It was crashing on start despite my efforts to bypass this. The file got it going. Hope this helps.

• Fallout 3 Crashing on Windows 10. Well Fallout 3 was designed to work on XP and Vista, so it's really just random with how well it works on anything after those.
• Then, head to Fallout 3 Nexus, and get the Fallout 3 Unofficial Patch. It's the #1 file on the site. Just run the.exe and let it install. Then run Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM), and check the box to activate it. I had to get the Fake Windowed Fullscreen mod to prevent the game from crashing if I just hit Alt+Tab.

Things that you should keep in mind!

While Windows 10 is relatively new, it is imperative that you have each and everything checked before you say that you have a broken game.

• Download and install important updates of the operating system since many times game crashes take place because of missing updates.
• Update your drivers to the latest version.
• This does not just include video drivers, but other ones ranging from storage, audio, chipset etc.
• If you have a dedicated graphics card in your system, update its drivers from their respective site.
• For every other driver, you have to make sure that you download and install those drivers according to the components present on your motherboard (for that, you will have to visit the website of your motherboard’s manufacturer).
• Failure to do so will result in crashes and sometimes it could even mean the dreaded BSOD (Blue screen of death) while playing Fallout 3.

What else should you do before starting Fallout 3?

• Make sure that you have the latest DirectX files installed. To update your DirectX files, head down to Microsoft’s website and download them from here.
• The completion will depend upon how fast your Internet connection is.
• You should also update Microsoft .NET Framework 4 from here, since it will contribute to solving your game crashes by a huge margin.
