These behaviors are the result of Fallout 3 not being compatible with Windows 7. The following steps may help the game run correctly.
- Start the installer in compatability mode for Windows XP SP3 and as an Administrator
- Download D3D9.dll from MediaFire or a similar source
- 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.
