So I played Fallout 3 for a while, and everything ran beautifully. No problems would ever occur. Then one day, I went to play and when I pressed play on the launcher and it a a tad popped up and said : Failed to initialize renderer. I messed around with all of my setting in the launcher, like changing my resolution and lowering my settings, but nothing seems to work. I went into my Nvidia control panel and went to manage 3d settinggs and changed fallout to use my intel graphics card to see if that would work. When I launched my game, it would work like normally and get me into the homescreen of the game, but then when I would press play and load a new game, the game would crash, (Which isn't that much of a surprise because I'm pretty sure my intel graphics cant run fallout.) So after that, I went back into my Nvidia control panel and changed Fallout back to my High Performance Nvidia Processor and launched Fallout, and same problem, failed to Initialize Renderer. With Fallout 4 around the corner, I really want to play some FO3 so if anyone has a fix for this it would be much appreciated.
