Fallout 3 Showing Windows Border In Fullscreen


Recommended Posts

Today while working I got a sudden urge to play Fallout 3 so when I got home I installed it but when I ran the game I noticed that it has a persistent windows border around the window even though I'm running it in full screen.

I have the Game Of The Year edition, the 1.7 patch installed and the HD texture pack, however I noticed the issue when I tested the vanilla installation of the game. Also I'm running Windows 8 Pro 64 bit if that makes any different, does anyone have any idea how to remove the border? I can live with it but if it's a quick fix I'd much rather do it so that the game is more immersive.

ThunderBuddy, try resetting it from the game launcher. Click on Windowed mode, then launch the game. Then check in-game settings. Exit the game, launch the launcher again, go back into settings, uncheck Windowed mode. Save exit. Re-launch the came, see if that helps. It could be stuck.

Never mind, I alt+tabbed out to the desktop and then back into the game, it hung for a second and now it doesn't have the border. I suddenly realized that it might be asking for network access in the background... it wasn't but it has fixed it anyway :)

    • Toshiba's massive 22TB X300 PRO hard drive is 29% off by Taras Buria Toshiba is offering its highest-capacity X300 PRO hard drive at a new all-time low price, allowing you to save 29% or $171 on the massive 22TB drive. The X300 PRO hard drive lineup offers good performance, and it is rated for high yearly workloads, which makes it a great option for creative professionals or other tasks that require storing a lot of data. The X300 PRO is a 7,200 RPM conventional magnetic recording (CMR) 3.5-inch SATA 6Gbps internal hard drive with 512MB of cache, which is also paired with the Toshiba Cache Technology for improved real-time responsiveness during high-demand loads. It also has additional features for better reliability, such as ramp loading (heads rest to a side of platters to prevent damage when the drive is idling or powered down) and shock sensors. Toshiba claims that the 22TB X300 PRO is rated for up to a 300TB/year workload rate and 1 million hours of mean time to failure (MTTF). This makes the drive a good choice for workstations, multimedia systems, or network-attached storage. Additionally, each drive has a limited five-year warranty for additional peace of mind. 22TB Toshiba X300 PRO High Workload Performance HDD - $428.99 | 29% off on Amazon US This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The 4060 is the weak 8-GB version. They should have done better.
    • This is an example of why it is so difficult to have a conversation with conservatives - they refuse to operate in good faith. You say "Those are not rights. Those were special treatments that were taken away that non-trans whatever didn't get." Which means you either failed to read any of the links I provided or you are lying. The very first link is about how the U.S. Military is firing trans people out of the military because they are trans and denying them retirement benefits. What other groups does the military treat this way that would support your assertion that they had been treated as special previously? Does the miliary routinely fire large numbers of its members and deny them retirement and was heretofore not doing that to trans people? I fail to see the logic in your argument.
    • Dell's Tower Plus Windows 11 desktop brings good all round performance at a big discount by Paul Hill Are you looking for a powerful tower desktop PC? If so, Dell’s Tower Plus EBT2250 is available for $1,099.99 right now, discounted down 25% from its typical price of $1,460.64, making it its lowest price in 30 days, and indeed, of all time (purchase link towards the bottom of the article). It’s powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. It also features an NPU which achieves 13 TOPs, but it is not a Copilot+ PC which demand 40 TOPs. Nonetheless, Dell also claimed a 26% performance boost in multi-core applications compared to the previous generation XPS Desktop. It also comes with a 1TB NVMe SSD for speedy boots and app launches and there is 1x 16GB DDR5-5200 RAM which should help to cut through all of your tasks, though, it may not be enough for very demanding tasks. Dell has made this tower PC with upgrades in mind with available memory, storage, and expansion slots. It also features a new thermal design with 120mm fan, and the company claims this makes it up to 22% quieter while maintaining cooling performance. Here's more about the expansion options: The system supports dual 4K monitors through an HDMI 2.0 port and a Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port. It also has a built-in media card reader for quick import of RAW images. Another nice feature with this tower is that it’s equipped with Wi-Fi 7, which promises “4.8x faster throughput, lower latency and greater capacity” for seamless online experiences.
