Forum:Fallout start up issues

Hello their everyone, Chief here again and I have another computer Issue.

As some of you may remember in a previous post I had been having computer Issues. As I had four previous repairs, best buy reimbursed me with enough credit to get a much better laptop, both in performance and reliability.

But now here's my issues. If you've read my page you know I love the Capital Wasteland and I dearly missed my .32 hunting rifle so I decided to re-install fallout 3. This is where the issue part comes in. I can't get past the birth part.

I've heard it has to do with the game being a 32-bit program and windows seven (which is what my new computer runs) is a 64-bit program. Fallout: New Vegas works just fine.

Does anyone know how to fix this.

Yeah, I had the same problem myself, for me it's the processors (I have a quad-core laptop) it would crash right after the birth scene.

Open up the fallout.ini file in: My Documents\My Games\Fallout3 Find the line:

bUseThreadedAI=0

change it to:

bUseThreadedAI=1

Add another line after it and insert:

iNumHWThreads=2

hope this helped Fallout: Shades of Grey, coming 2012 22:28, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
