lunatech666 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Hello. I am new to the forums. I have had fallout 3 steam copy for like 2 years? 1 year? anyways I played it for a long time and loved this game. It was the best game I had ever played, but I eventually decided to uninstall it and didn't play it again for months. While I played it at first I think I did encounter some glitches and stuff and fixed them, I also had a bunch of mods and did some of my own modding which usually resulted in a too overpowered weapon that I threw away. Back to the point. Now I have reinstalled FO3 and when I play for about 5-20 minutes I will lose control of the character. The mouse freezes and I cannot move, cannot escape menu. If I am running then, then I keep running. If I am sitting fighting an enemy, the enemy will kill me. I can't even find anything about this on the internet, so I am really worried I won't find a fix here. I just really want to play FO3 again and try out the new mods that have come out, some of which look really great! I have tried the modding the ini file, and installed codecs, and maybe a couple other fixes and some random attempts, but it keeps persisting no matter what I do. I even reinstalled it again. Note: this is not just inside the vault. I managed to get ouside the vault and it is in megaton, and even outside in other places. I don't think I have had it happen just out in the open yet, but that could just be because I was mostly in the vault of megaton. I will attach my fallout.ini file to make sure I did that fix right, but I doubt it is the right fix. Please help me :(thanks oops, it won't let me attach the file. too bad. I will just copy and paste the part that I edited. bUseThreadedAI=1iNumHWThreads=2 directly copied and pasted from the file. edit: I forgot to mention I'm on a Alienware M15x with win 7 premium home and i7 720qm, 4gb ram, ATI mobility 5870, I tried the game multiple settings, this has never happened in another game that I can remember. It's not the mouse, the touchpad frozen too. But I can Ctrl alt dlt out of it. Edited July 29, 2011 by lunatech666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are T&Cs and where do I read them? Or you could just explain maybe your not allowed to bump or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just emphasised the bumping thing because people have been kicked, or pulled a strike, for repeated bumping, and you might have found that fact helpful. I think they don't mind one bump though :thumbsup: EDIT: to add: Just FYI, here's the relevant link >>>http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/2881-all-newbies-read-this-before-posting/The bit about bumping comes under 'spam' Edited August 3, 2011 by roquefort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing that out. Too bad I can't bump this because it seems like the kind of problem people will just ignore and kick it under the carpet. I guess I can say goodbye to ever playing fallout 3 again. /weep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
