Fallout 3 crashes when loading profile

robsky63 · Dec 3, 2020

FO3 (with all add-ins) crashes when loading my 360 profile on one of my XBoxes but loads fine on the other. The one experiencing crashes is an original gen XB1, the other is older XB1S.

I've tried removing my profile from the system that experiences the crashes but that didn't help. Other Xbox 360 backwards compatible games load fine.

Anyone else experiencing this issue with FO3?

Thanks!

Resolved the issue myself with a little troubleshooting I should've done months ago:

Deleted local XBox 360 data
Uninstalled all FO3 add-ins, left game installed
Launched game (successfully)
Tapped Start/Hamburger button
Game loaded to main menu
Quit to Xbox One dashboard
Quit game (Start/Hamburger button> Quit game)
Installed 1 add-in
Launched game (successfully)
Tapped Start/Hamburger button
Game loaded to main menu
Quit to Xbox One dashboard
Quit game (Start/Hamburger button> Quit game)
Installed next add-in

---

Repeated for each add-in

---

Launched game (successfully)
Tapped Start/Hamburger button
Game loaded to main menu
Selected Continue
Selected Yes
Last saved game loaded successfully

I hope this helps someone.

This issue has managed to resolve itself. I tried downloading the profile one more time, and it managed to not freeze and crash.

And to top it of, Fallout 3 data is not corrupted.

I to am having the same problem i have fallout 3 before GOTY and two disks that are DLC for Fallout 3 with two add-ons on each disk. I install everything with not problems but when i but in the fallout 3 disk like i would with xbox 360 it would load the
add-ons, but with the xbox one it dont even recognize the addons but when i go to game manage it shows fallout 3 and all 4 addons on the drive.

Fallout 3 was a brilliant game, I would rate it as one of the best ever made had it not been for the many bugs and crashes, I'd love to play Fallout 4 providing it was less buggy and did not crash as much as 3 did.

I just thought I would provide an update on this.

Raised support call with Microsoft and they were extremely helpful. However; the problem was isolated back to the Mojang account.
We then raised a support ticket with Mojang and 10 days later we have heard nothing ... not a word
In an attempt to resolve this issue we downloaded the Microsoft Insider app and then installed the Minecraft Beta
After installing and connecting the profile using the Minecraft Beta we found that there was an issue with the character on the Mojang profile and we were able to correct the profile.

Thank you again to the Microsoft Xbox support team. It is a pity that we had to find a hacky workaround due to a complete lack of support from Mojang.
