Bethesda has released the first patch v1.0.0.15 for their newest hit Fallout 3. The 6 MB updates fixes a few bugs:

  1. Fixed occasional crashes when exiting the game or using Alt F4 to exit.
  2. Fixed crashes when using Alt-Tab while binks or credits were playing.
  3. The game now restarts properly after title updates finish installing.

The German version can be downloaded here, links to various other language versions can be found here.

Haven't played it long enough yet to make it crash. I hope I can put a few hours into this at this weekend.

In some cases it seems to never crash. In others, it's because of codecs. I also experienced crashes in a certain area at least once. Dunno if the patch fixes all of that, but I can wait for a second patch, if need be. ;)

Except some weird happenings (suddenly there was a brotherhood knight fighting with me withoud saying anything), which don't have to be bugs at all, I just encounterd a few teleporting enemies (in front of me down the stairs, suddenly behind me) and minor graphic issues, like glasses vanishing in someones face.

I once met an brotherhood outcast in the wasteland, he helped me with a couple of raiders but he wasn't much of a talker ...
Such happenings are because of the random encounter system.

Oh, I didn't hear of that r.e.s. before.
It was just weird that he was at the start of the subway dungeon when I was there, too, it felt a bit like in the middle of a quest, but maybe it was just a random encounter.

I met the same Brotherhood Outcast, just after killing a few Raiders, a pity i can't remember where. But to me it sounds not really random, well, at least this Brotherhood Outcast.
