Just a quick topic for owner of new core i7 this may help you to avoid crashes because the fallout.ini tweak never worked for . it is really simple :

-Start fallout 3 when you re on the main menu alt+tab so you go onto the desktop computer \

-then open task manager click on the tab Process then click on show all process at the bottom left

-Right click on Fallout 3 process , you ll see set Affinity and click on it

-then unchecked all your 7 CPU and check only CPU 1 and 2

-quit task manager and alt tab again to go back to your game

 

Tada ! magic , now your game shouldnt be crashes if you still crash only check one CPU

I play on a macbook retina using bootcamp and this method doesnt affect perfomance i can still play with all my mod in full HD at 60 FPS exept for big epic battle with liberty prime you ll probably get 40 FPS

Anyway hope this helped because i was so pissed that this game suck with mulicore machine.

I've got a quad core i7 & the .ini tweak works for me.

 

It is very important that you edit the correct Fallout 3 .ini file as there is one in the Data folder that's actually the default .ini & not the one in use.

 

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.

 

That completely cures the Fallout 3 multicore freeze bug.

 

Hope this helps!
