Fallout 3 USE to run

August 28, 2012 5:05:54 PM

*fixed* i reinstalled windows which fixed it(idc/idk why but im glad

)and for all talking about the 4-core thing i said it USE TO RUN on this machine so i must have knew about the 4-core fix(or didnt need it)

i need help.

Fallout 3 use to run on this computer.

difference from now and then would be i reinstalled the windows on this computer.

i have done many searchs on how to fix the issue.

the game freezes on birth scene.

if i consistantly do PCB i can make it up to the 10 year mark(and thats it).

i have install K-Lite codecs.

i have updated drivers.

i have updated game to 1.7

i have changed the ini file to cope with quad core.

i have manualy disabled quad core when the game starts.

i have updated windows.

i have MOBO.

i have not change any components of the computer.

i have not change the operating system(windows 7 64-bit)

i have had this issue before but it fixed via the quad-core cope.

i have reinstalled multiple times.

i have lowered game settings.

i have not tried unofficial patches(might now)

this is fallout 3 GOTY edition. it had CTD issues but disabling wlive on it via WLIVE disabler fixed it.
patch 1.7 didnt work till i installed Windows live for games.

if you read the post i said i HAVE reinstalled multiple times

Spec:

fx4100 quad core @3.6 ghz

radeon 6770

on-board sound

8gb memory

and as stated in the post

it HAS worked on this machine before but after
i reinstalled windows it didnt work.

and to add a little light on this issue.

this issue has been ever since patch 1.1 of fallout 3.
this patch removed quad-core support.(but there was a fix that fixes this)
many people get this problem. but i dont think its that anymore.
because "if i consistantly do pcb" is a command prompt code to clear cache.
so that means its something to do if how the game uses the cache

*update*
reinstalled game(again) did not patch it and still get the freezing at birth scene

Fallout 3 does not work very well with quad core processors. To fix this you need to change some lines in the fallout.ini file.

Had this problem before (birth scene thing).
This fixed it:

change
bUseThreadedAI=1
to
bUseThreadedAI=0
and then add
iNumHWThreads=2
beneath it (sometimes 2 threads is more stable but try 4 also).
