TheLine Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hi so I got Fallout 3 GOTY edition on steam and usually after 15 minutes of gameplay it freezes. I know it cant be a problem with the graphics card. Any Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuinnMallory45 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 It does that to me, too. Look for something called Archive Invalidator. I think it's a mod that works like a patch for the game. That's the best answer I can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLine Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 I heard it has something to do with the CPU preferably the i5-i7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prensa Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 TheLine - Hello! 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 hyperthreading. It causes the game to freeze, so if you have a multi core, this could be the problem. 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! Prensa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
