The only thing that has even begun to work is for me was to turn OFF ALL SOUND via the fallout.ini. I really don't think it's the RealTek card because the USB Headphones (audio card swap) didn't help.

QuadCore fix – (Added these 2 lines to fallout.ini) bUseThreadedAI=1 and iNumHWThreads=2 Intel Core i7-930 Quad (2.8 Ghz – 8 Threads) When I go to Task Manger to kill the Process, sometimes is says “Not Responding” but other times is says “Running” it eventually locks up.Įven after the Keyboard and Mouse stop responding, the Home button (for G4WL) still works (and the top interface appears) If I load the main menu, and click around on the main menu (Options, Load, etc.) just watching the little slides. Problems started around the Vault 101 Atrium.Įven if I reload my save, I could never get inside OverSeers office before it locked up again. The first small part of a new game plays ok. If I was pressing a key (like “W” or Forward) at the moment it loses control, the character keep walking forward (even up against a wall). The game keeps playing (with sound and video) without me in control (until character dies). The keyboard and mouse stop responding a few minutes into game. This includes Half Life 2, Counter Strike Source, Battlefield 2, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, GRID, Far Cry, Far Cry 2, Stalker SoC, Stalker CS, Stalker CoP, and many others. Inside the game, it says the version is 1.7.03. This is Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition retail English DVD from Amazon. Like many of you, I am having the freezing of controls (keyboard and mouse) problem.
