So the other day I bought Fallout 3 Game of the year edition while it was on sale. My computer isn't made for gaming and so cannot run high spec games. I was aware of this when I bought the game but it was going cheap so I thought i'd try it out anyway. My processor is fast enough, however my graphics card is terrible. I have still played a few games on my PC before however which is what made me decide to give this game a try.
When I started up the game it set the graphics to the optimal settings for my graphics card. Just for extra help I turned them down further. I loaded up the game and started a new game. It loads up the game and just before it starts the screen goes black and windows shuts down the game.
So I just want to know is this a case of my computer being too slow or is this a problem with the game. I think it's the former but i'd like to check regardless.
Thanks
