Fix for Fallout 3 randomly freezing
Posted by MB in Uncategorized on November 18, 2013
It seems that Fallout 3 does not handle being run on a processor with more than 2 cores, which leads to random freezing.
Fix: Edit the fallout.ini file in “C:Users(your name)DocumentsMy GamesFallout 3” (Windows 7 and above)
In the [General]
section, locate the bUseThreadedAI=0
line and change it to bUseThreadedAI=1
Below that, add iNumHWThreads=2
.
Save the file and restart Fallout 3.
Note that if you’re having issues where Fallout crashes after starting a new game, it’s most likely due to incompatible video hardware, most notably trying to run it with Intel-based graphics.

Skype for OpenSUSE (download link) may have no audio and frequently crash. This issue is caused by missing packages for the audio subsystem.
Solution: install the packages alsa-plugins-pulse-32bit and pavucontrol
sudo zypper in alsa-plugins-pulse-32bit pavucontrol
