You're all over these forums! In fact, it was reading several of the threads you were involved in that helped me solve the rather nasty partial install issues I initially had with this Boot Camp partition. I'm happy, but not surprised to see a response from you Loner T.
So, once again, what gives? Can we please get the drivers we need to use the systems we paid a premium for? They claim they have newer drivers available (and their latest stable release for non-bootcamp systems is December 15 of last year, beta drivers having been released just 12 days ago) for bootcamp but you guys are sitting on them because you have to certify the drivers. AMD released bootcamp drivers on September 21 of last year. Seriously, what gives apple? I drop $3K on a machine and I can't even enjoy a game that this card should be more than capable of running at a decent resolution (Fallout 4) because the drivers suck. According to the Event viewer, I've had 20 warning messages (Event ID 4101) in the last nine days (yes I game a lot for a 50 year old man).
I say this because the error I see appearing frequently in the Events viewer right before these crashes happen is "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered." Usually I get two error messages in a row in the log timed right before the crash happens so I'm pretty sure the driver is not recovering successfully and either kicking me back to the default windows display driver and locking up the system until I quit the game via task manager or just crashing to the desktop. Specifically, when I play games in steam I frequently either crash to the desktop or to system chokes and kicks me back to the default windows display drivers. That's when I started to have a great many problems with the system. In any event, I got things set up to the point where the system seemed stable and decided to start running some games through steam. I don't know if it was windows or apple by it was a god awful mess of stuff partially installed or not installed at all. By a very, very large measure this was the most trouble I have had with a bootcamp install since first version as issued. In the case of the Bluetooth several times. I had some trouble initially with the Bluetooth for the magic mouse and the display and had to manually install the drivers for both.
I clean installed windows 10 education via bootcamp, which I also used to split the fusion drive into equal size partitions. I had the spec 8GB of RAM but put 16GB of Crucial Apple spec RAM in as well. Besides that, Fallout 3 has quite a bit of its own bugs which have nothing to do with the OS running it.I have a brand new late 2015 27" 5K iMac, CTO with the i7, 3TB Fusion drive and the M395X w/ 4GB VRAM. If all is done, the game runs perfect on Windows 10. Compatibility settings should be applied on both Fallout3.exe and FalloutLauncher.exe. I'm running the game with compatibility set to "Vista SP1", "Disable scaling on high DPI values" and "Run as administrator". I don't think you have to disable it in a second step, as the game only needs to see it's installed. (Please do this only once, or your download folder will overflow with gfwlsetup.exe's!) Close theĬorresponding window without logging-in, that's all. Windows 10 notification about "game may not be compatible" (or so), click on the notification and an updated G4WL will be automatically installed. The G4WL steps can be simplified: Every time you get a Can't hurt even if I'm not sure whether that is decisive or not.
The two changes to Fallout.ini (My documents\My games\Fallout3) enable the use of multi-core CPUs which were unusual at game release.

Note: Steps for Windows 8 or 8.1 applies to Windows 10.ĭisclaimer: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps from section “How to reset the computer to start as usual after clean boot troubleshooting” to reset the computer to start as usual. Please refer the steps given in the link below You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.
This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in WindowsĨ.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista.
I suggest you to try place computer in a clean boot state and check if it works.Ī clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This indicates that Fallout 3 may not be compatible with Windows 10. It must be difficult when things do not work as expected.
