It's a little later than originally thought, but Bethesda has released a small patch for Fallout 3.

Fixed occasional crashes when exiting the game or using Alt F4 to exit.

Fixed crashes when using Alt-Tab while binks or credits were playing.

The game now restarts properly after title updates finish installing.

How about the patch that fixes the crash before the game menu loads? Check it out here.
