Fallout 3 Goty on Steam freezing from headshots


Recommended Posts

I have the Steam version of Fallout 3 GOTY, and went a bit wild on downloading a bunch of mods and skins. Everything has worked perfectly thus far, except that my game is freezing whenever I try for headshots in combat.

 

 

I tried disabling mods one by one, then all the mods, then deleted all my custom content, and this problem is still occurring.

 

 

Sometimes I can get a shot off on their heads, but other times, it'll just freeze when I put my cursor over their heads.

 

What the hell is happening and what do I do?

 

Worth also mentioning I have Windows 7 64-bit edition

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Also, I'm having a hard time replicating this issue consistently; it happens in the same indoor place over and over again, but I can go around headshotting other NPCs just fine. Meanwhile, it also happened when I was trying to headshot a vicious dog outside

 

 

EDITEDIT: I think it may be related to this mod:

 

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/1904/

 

 

And it kept occurring on saves where I had this enabled. But I'm still not sure because I can't replicate the error off-hand.

 

 

 

EDITEDITEDITEDIT: Okay I just replicated it. It seems to be attached to the NPC "Silver" in Springvale. However, it also happened with a random vicious dog.

 

 

 

 

 

EDITx13: I think I fixed it; I think it may have had to do with the Thread values in the Fallout3.ini

bUseThreadedAI=1
iNumHWThreads=2

 

 

But now it's giving me error message/crash when I exit the game.
