Final freeze/crash update...
Onet way to fix freezing issues is to enable Fallout 3 to use more than 2gig of RAM...
Fallout 3 on Windows 7.
ALSO...
A lots of (MAYBE ALL) Fallout 3 crashes are associated with Fallout 3 sound processing. While I was playing, I was annoyed by the constant audio stuttering. Also, Fallout 3 performance was a little off. I can fix the stuttering by enabling Creative Alchemy for Fallout 3, but that caused this ugly freeze where the CPU goes crazy.
I found this little tool on Steam Forums that replaces the Fraunhofer mp3 codec with an upgraded version.
Stuttering Radio Music- Solution. - Steam Users' Forums
It won't mess up your computer. All you have to do is keep the MadFilter in one location. When you register it, it is constantly linked to that file. If you delete the files, windows will automatically revert to default mp3 codec.
What you will notice is that the sound/audio stuttering vanishes completely. I have also noticed great performance improvement while playing Fallout 3, even with the killer NMC's Texture Pack.
What I am saying is that I have fixed all Fallout 3 problems by using only these two methods and nothing else mentioned on this site.
Hopefully this will help many more.
