You should try clearing your cache, but just note that you will have to download and install game updates again. Turn on the 360 and hit the silver Xbox button on the controller. Scroll right to Settings and select System Settings. Select Memory and hit A. Highlight the hard drive and hit Y. You will see a screen that gives you the options to Rename or Format the drive. Just hit X, X, LB, RB, X, X. A window will pop up and ask if you want to perform maintenance on your storage device. Select yes.

You should also delete any unnecessary content from your HD in order to free up space. If your drive is maxed, you may want to consider upgrading to a larger hd. Even after doing all of the above, it still freezes on me when I travel to certain locations so I leave the area and return at a later time.

It keeps freezing at the rotunda and i have tried every thing what bcan u sudgest

You might have a disc problem. Find someone with a good copy, install theirs to your HDD, and then just use yours to play. Alternatively, check the surface of the CD. Is it clean?

Hopefully you have a decent save a while back.

Fallout 3 can be a B-word when it comes to freezing up.

In Fallout 3 on the 360, my game freezes in one spot.

Have you tried a different copy of the game. Like go to the movie store and rent one for test. If it still does it then it sounds like the the laser may be going out. I doubt that this would be the case. I feel that it is more the disk than the laser.

Fallout 3 Freezing Problems???

Fallout 3 freezing is an unfortunately common problem. A lot of people have reported that clearing the game cache on your 360 will fix it, so that's what I would suggest you try first.

To do this:
  1. start up your 360, then take out the Fallout 3 game disc.
  2. Hold down the A button on the Player 1 controller
  3. Put Fallout 3 in your 360, then load the game
If this doesn't fix it, the next thing you could try is to clear the system cache. This will clear the entire cache for your 360, including the automatic updates (though downloaded content, save files, and user dats will be untouched).

To do this:
  1. Navigate to System > Memory
  2. Highlight the hard disk in the list and press Y
  3. Press X, X, LB, RB, X, X
If done right, you should see a message asking, "perform system maintenance?" Proceed with this, and it will clear all the cache data out and revert Fallout 3 back to version 1.0 (it should ask you to update once you load the game)

Hope this helps - I've had my share of frustration with Fallout 3 glitches.
