Fallout 3 on Windows 7.

hi all king tay here ive got win7 prem and have the games fallout 3 and colin mcrae dirt and thay wont run eny 1 help me with this prob please

to fix fallout 3 (without expansions)
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

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

*If the game still crashes write this iNumHWThreads=1

Right Hand click on the .exe file and go to properties, change the operating system here. Change to run it as XP SP3 and go ahead and check the run as admin box while in properties.

This should fix you right up...

Are you using any mods?

No, I do not use mods. I am using a store bought version on disc. Not sure if you guys are using bought or cracked but just so you know. Have you looked at the Bethesda site to see if they have added any updates that will fix compatibillity issues with Windows 7?

im not useing mods either my dad fixed it by changeing the compatability and switching the resolution to my screen size resolution but it started randomly messing up again idk y
