Holy crap man! Thats alot of mods!!

On my PS3, my FO3 file is 14MB and it freezes ALOT. I think the bigger your file the more freezes there are. That makes sense considering you have a ton of mods.

That's not a lot of mods at all, mostly patches and addons for a few mods.

I didn't spot any obvious mistakes.

Did you apply the Fallout 3 Multicore fix?

No, what's that?

1. Open the Fallout3.INI file (it's filed under My Documents/My Games/Fallout3).

2. Back up the INI file before editing it.

3. Find the entry bUseThreadedAI=0, change the 0 to 1.

4. Beneath that entry, add the entry iNumHWThreads=2

5. Save.

Try it, but I'm doubtful it will work, since I'm running the game without issue on a Quad Core CPU without the fix installed.

Thanks. I Googled it about 5 seconds after I posted. I played for about 30 mins with no freezing. Hopefully that fixed it. Knock on wood.
