About the Freezing Issues

Post » Wed Jun 15, 2011 8:38 pm

Has Bethesda ever addressed the freezing problem Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas are plagued with, as to why it freezes and why they won't fix it? I'm trying to find out what they have to say about it. Help would be most appreciated. :) Thanks.

Try this. Go to My Documents\My Games\Fallout3 (or FalloutNV)

Open the Fallout.ini file, and find the line:

bUseThreadedAI=0

Change the 0 to a 1 like so, "bUseThreadedAI=1" (minus the speech marks of course). Add another line after it and copy and paste the line below:

iNumHWThreads=2

It should fix the freezing issue. This works at least for me.

I don't think they have, I know they've tried solutions but it has to be a core support issue since the engine doesn't seem to agree with four running at once. Thus, the solution above. If you're on PC at least. Used to crash all the time on PC for Fallout 3, yet never had the problem with New Vegas.

Thanks for the advice, I have Fallout 3 on the PS3. It makes a great game annoying to play, and it's really sad. I did however just buy the GOTY Edtion for PC, to try some mod and console commands. I will test this when it comes in the mail.
