Fallout 3 is one of the most anticipated games. Unfortunately, after purchasing the game, some users may experience game freezes. They are associated with many different factors.
Fallout 3
Fallout 3 is a continuation of the once sensational game. They waited for her for a very long time, and when she appeared on store shelves, they began to rapidly buy up. Some users, after installing the game, encountered game freezes in various places (even if the game was launched on modern computers).
First of all, of course, you need to check if your computer meets the minimum system requirements. If everything is in order, then the problem must be looked for in another, and if it does not correspond, then this means only one thing - it is time to change the components of the personal computer.
It should also be said that if you have the Windows 7 operating system installed and if you have a multi-core processor, then the game will certainly slow down and freeze. Perhaps this problem is related to the optimization of the game itself for this operating system.
At first, it is best not to change anything in the game directories, but simply update the drivers for the video card and sound card. Your best bet is still to update DirectX,. NET Framework and XLiveRedist to the latest version. It is possible that even after these simple manipulations the game will work well, but if it still continues to freeze, you need to enter certain codes in a special game file.
How to solve the problem with freezes in Fallout 3?
To solve the problem, you need to find the Fallout.ini file. To do this, go to "My Documents", find the My Games folder and then the Fallout 3 folder. All user information about the game (settings, saves, etc.) is stored here. In the General section, the user needs to find the line bUseThreadedAI = 0, where he needs to replace the value "0" with "1". In addition, one more command should be added to the same section - iNumHWThreads = 2. Then all changes must be saved. After these changes, the game will run stably and without freezes. Just in case, it is better to make a backup copy of the Fallout.ini file first (it will be needed if something is done incorrectly).
It is also worth remembering that if you did not purchase a licensed copy of the game, but downloaded it, for example, on a torrent, then most likely the problem is directly related to the "modifications" of pirates trying to bypass the protection system. Perhaps, it should be known that pirated copies of the game do not always differ in their performance and may have many different disadvantages, including the game freezing.
