Random Freezing

[MoonlightWyvern]

I've been experiencing random freezing at certain points in game. I don't CTD at all, but sometimes in game and sometimes in loading screens the game seizes up completely. I was wondering if it is due to my load order, or having a mod I shouldn't have activated.

 

Any advice or diagnosis would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I've been experiencing random freezing at certain points in game. I don't CTD at all, but sometimes in game and sometimes in loading screens the game seizes up completely.

 

Sounds like the well known multi-core bug to me:

If you have a multi-core CPU, like the Quad, and you experience a Fallout 3 crash when loading interiors (Specially in closed spaces):

- Open the folder My documents / My Games / Fallout3

- Edit the file FALLOUT.ini.

- Inside FALLOUT.ini look for a group called [general].

- Inside the general group, after all the configuration parameters, just copy and paste the following 2 lines:

bUseThreadedAI=1iNumHWThreads=2

Now close and save the Fallout 3 configuration file.

 

Alternatively you could also consider downloading the Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 patch to replace the older one you're using atm. It's installer will automatically add those lines to your .ini if they're not already there.

 

No dice? See M48A5's post.

 

Furthermore, this patch is redundant:

Mart's Mutant Mod - Project Beauty.esp
