Open up the fallout.ini file in: My Documents\My Games\Fallout3
Find the line: bUseThreadedAI=0 change it to: bUseThreadedAI=1 Add another line after it and insert: iNumHWThreads=2 This will limit the game to 2 cores and prevent the engine bug from causing the game to freeze. *If the game still crashes write this iNumHWThreads=1 EnJoY!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Proof that it works: Quote:

Thank you so much. I've been looking for a fix forever. Would it work for vista 64bit?

could an Admin please sticky this? This actually works. I tried it out, and it has not crashed once. Considering how much people crash, it is a very useful piece of info.

Maybe, just maybe, not everyone has something to say. After all...
A) You're not the only one to have posted this B) You're not the first one to have posted this C) Maybe some of the people viewing this, didn't need the fix |

I had been looking for a fix to this freezing issue for weeks. I finally gave up and started playing other games. Recently found this post. It is very easy to edit the file, and the game runs awesomely. Thank you very much for the post and I hope other people find your fix.

Will this fix work on Oblivion since its the same engine? I have been playing that recently for the first time (on sale) and it crashes to desktop a lot.

Hmmm, when I went to fix this in mine the changes had already been made and it was still giving me framerate stutters and crashes. I guess its outrageous of me to expect a game I pay for to work reasonable well rather than be plagued by constant game crashes. I can't even get past the birthday party when starting a new game.

Hmm. When I had the exact same problems with FO3 crashing on my Win7 64-bit GTX280 setup, it actually turned out to be the gpu overheating with the stock cooler.
It was really difficult to pinpoint as it didnt happen in other games. I eventually installed a custom cooler, even overclocked the 280 quite a bit, and never had any freezing or crashing again. Perhaps this fix of some reason additionally creates a lower load on the gpu, giving a greater margin before it goes poof? Just an observation. |
