Especially crashes when hearing the baby cry. Shortcut: Optional step 6 now does this for you automatically. Edit with notepad: My Documents\my games\Fallout3\FALLOUT.INI or C:\users\yourname\Documents\My Games\Fallout3\FALLOUT.ini This may appear as "FALLOUT" in windows explorer. IMPORTANT: DO NOT EDIT Fallout_default.ini !!! You're in the wrong directory!!! find (control F) bUseThreadedAI=0 CHANGE to bUseThreadedAI=1 Immediately after this line, ADD this new line: iNumHWThreads=2
