“best fallout game to date few crash issues here and there just constantly quicksave and youll be okay now to wait for the remaster, that may or may not come out”
“Unfortunately this game crashes after about 10 mins of gameplay. I've tried some of the posted fixes and none of them work. As for what I was able to play seemed like an ok game.”
