Freezing

Post by **redacted_name** » Tue Dec 04, 2012 6:43 pm

Just a guess, but could this be the multi-core problem that plagues fallout 3?

Open fallout.ini (Documents/My Games/FalloutNV) and paste "iNumHWThreads=2" (without quotes) at the end of the General section.

Not sure if this will work or not for NV/TTW, but this does fix the random freezing issues for F3.

If it still freezes after trying that ini edit, try starting a new game without any mods, and see if the freezing still happens. If the freezing stops happening, then it's related to a mod you have installed.

I will give it a try but I never had any issues like this before with normal FO3, NV, or TTW till after Broken Steel.

And this is all constrained to the Citadel?

Ah I'm sorry Jax I should of been more descripttive, but no it's not just in the Citadel it happens where I have been.

Post BS at the outcasts outpost and the rader town next to it, fairfax I think. I also loaded a pre BS save and I am freezing in the Jefferson Memorial, I can't even last long enough to make it outside.

At this point maybe I should uninstall and reinstall everything, I don't know....I'm at a loss and really want to play.

I had strange audio issues once and I installed a program to disable all fddshow codecs. I've read others have had FPS, crash issues also if fddshow codecs are installed and if fallout is not excluded in the codec. I tried excluding the fallout exe but in the end just dumped the codec pack, and ran this program to go through and disable codecs not being used. Don't disable any of the Microsoft or direct-X ones.

Look for 'InstalledCodec' on this page: http://www.nirsoft.net/panel/byname.html

I ran the program (thank you btw :) ) but at least to me the codecs listed all seem to be microsoft and creative, I don't have any fddshow.

OK after trying so many things {thanks for the help everyone} I did a uninstall and reinstall of FO3,NV, and TTW....sadly I couldn't get anywhere on my saves so I deleted them all and started a new game.
