Fallout 3 - Freezing, please help!

[fantek23]

Hi everyone, I've instaled Fallout 3 GOTY on my laptop. Everything runs ok, but when I'am in game it starts freezing sometimes in 1 minute of playing sometimes in 5 minutes of playing. I passed G.O.A.T exams but I'm still in Vault. I try everything what i found here on this forum, but it still freezing :( ..

 

Two years ago I've played Fallout 3 on my old laptop with Windows 7 64bit, AMD processor, ATI Graphic Card and I complete the game without freezing (sometimes it crashed because of some mod) But now I have Windows 7 64bit, Intel Core I3 and two graphics Intel HD and Nvidia GeForce 610M, can somebody tell me How can I run it, please?

 

I'll be very glad for answers.

 

Thanks!

"but when I'am in game it starts freezing sometimes in 1 minute of playing sometimes in 5 minutes of playing."

Sounds like the Fallout 3 multi core bug.

Fallout 3 has trouble with multi core computers, mainly with ones that have more than two cores & use hyper-threading.

There is a fix, you need to edit your Fallout 3 .ini file.

The one you want to change is:

For XP:

My Documents\My Games\Fallout3\

For Vista & Win7:

Documents\My Games\Fallout3

The file you want will be called:

FALLOUT.ini

Open the .ini with Notepad & change this line:

bUseThreadedAI=0

to:

bUseThreadedAI=1

& insert this line under it:

iNumHWThreads=2

Save & close your ini.

Hope this helps!
