DissidentIV Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I just built a new computer (i5 2500K, GTX 560, 4 GB RAM, Windows 7 32 bit) and installed Fallout 3, the latest update from Bethesda, and an outdated version of GFW to fix the missing dll bug. At first I had no problems, and played for several hours at fullscreen 1920x1080 on all max settings. Then, I updated GFW for another game and signed in. After doing that, the game would freeze sporadically, and the only way I could get out was to ctrl+alt+delete and kill Fallout 3 with task manager. I eventually determined that this always occurred when I crippled an enemy without killing it. If I crippled it upon death or killed it without crippling it, nothing went wrong. The game would also freeze at random sometimes when I was just wandering around and scavenging, but it wasn't repeatable. I changed the graphics settings, played in windowed 1440x900, closed everything else, and paid close attention to CPU/GPU temperatures, but nothing helped or was out of the ordinary. So, any suggestions? I searched around but couldn't find any similar queries about this here or elsewhere.

DissidentIV Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Turns out it was just an issue with the quadcore processor. For future reference the fix is: Find the line: bUseThreadedAI=0 change it to: bUseThreadedAI=1 Add another line after it and insert: iNumHWThreads=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M48A5 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Where do I find these lines? --This helps me big time, with a similar issue but I'm not the brightest in finding things.(nyan)Please do not necro old threads.(nyan) The post before yours is eight years old and this thread should have been locked. To answer your question, those lines are part of the Fallout3, Fallout.ini, that is found in Users/(name)/My Documents/My Games/Fallout3. It is the same folder where you will find the "Saves" folder.
