prensa Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 jlamar92 - Hello! Sounds like the Fallout 3 multi core bug. Does the game freeze mainly in small interiors, locking up & then CTDing? Fallout 3 has trouble with multi core computers, mainly with ones that have more than two cores & use hyperthreading. You say you've used the ini fix? Are changing the right .ini, the one you want to change is: For XP: My Documents\My Games\Fallout3\ For Win7: Documents\My Games\Fallout3 & change this line: bUseThreadedAI=0 to: bUseThreadedAI=1 & insert this line under it: iNumHWThreads=2 Save & close your ini. Hope this Helps! Prensa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prensa Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 jlamar92 - Hello! It could be one of your mods. Try turning off all of your mods (right clicking on them in FOMM allows you to select "Uncheck all") & just run with vanilla Fallout 3. If that runs trouble free then turn your other mods back on, one at a time checking between to see if Fallout 3 still runs. That way you can identify the culprit. Other than that, my game certainly runs better with this: Fallout Stutter Removerhttp://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8886 I'd recommend the FSR_4-0-7 vesion rather than the WIP. Don't forget it requires FOSE if you do use it: http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8606 I don't even need that multi core fix in the .ini when I use that. Hope this helps!

Jeoshua Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Actually, the WIP version works great. It's just not complete and has a bunch of experimental features in it that ARE NOT SWITCHED ON BY DEFAULT. I swear by at least one of them, too.

prensa Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Jeoshua - Hello! I recommended the FSR_4-0-7 version because it's the first version I used & it worked amazingly well almost straight out the box. Only had to tinker with the MaximumFPS setting. Really helps with the smooth running of Fallout 3 on my quad core. & like I said, I don't seem to need the .ini multi core fix with it running. I've tried the WIP version & didn't find it as smooth even with altering the various settings. Of course, how effective it is probably depends on what set up you've got so others might find the WIP the same or better. It's just that if I recommend something I like to stick to what I know well. With me, the FSR_4-0-7 version has a proven track record. Prensa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
