does the old disk version of Fallout 3 GOTY edition, fix the ingame crashing? cause I'm replaying Fallout 3, cause the new one leaves much to be desired, also I'm trying to play Operation Anchorage, I installed it but it doesn't show up as a playable quest in F3, these are all the old store bought versions of the, I tried buying and playing the steam version on my pc with windows 10 to no avail, but running F3 on my old laptop with Window Vista seems to work, as well as it ever did anyways.
There's almost a legendary history of crashes with this game. There's a couple of posts that may have info you can use maybe also for your version. One by Linesma, the other from Pwiz.
