Fallout 3 GOTY Intro/Startup Freeze Issue FIX

Here is solution to permanent fix for Fallout 3 applies successfully to GOTY edition as-well

Fallout 3 is not quite old game but engine has some issues with processors that have more than 2 cores witch most of new processors have in these days. You can force the game to only use two of them and it will stop the freezing. I haven't had it freeze on end of intro once since I applied these modifications with new line to fallout3.ini file, screenshot with details is down below.


Open up the fallout.ini file using notepad witch is located: My Documents\My Games\Fallout3\Fallout3.ini

Find the line:

 

bUseThreadedAI=0

Change it to:

bUseThreadedAI=1


Add another line after it and insert:

iNumHWThreads=2

 

This will limit the game to 2 cores and prevent the engine bug from causing the game to freeze on intro.
