SOLVED – Fallout 3 Crashing on Vista x64

Fallout 3 Headshot
I have been hearing that a lot of people out there have had issues with Bethesda Studio’s Fallout 3. It is always disheartening to hear of an otherwise great game marred with technical flaws.
I was having a problem similar to many, CONSTANT crashing… especially when on indoor levels.
The solution in my situation came to me when I noticed that every time Fallout 3 crashed I had the little FFa icon down in my system tray. I knew that icon was related to a codec pack I had installed on my machine, but I couldn’t remember exactly which one.
Just as a test I downloaded the latest K-Lite codec pack and installed the full version except the media player. As part of the install process it detected and removed all previous codec packs (3 in my case). After the install and a reboot I am now able to play Fallout 3 without the in game crashing! It does however still crash on exit… not a big deal though.
