Started playing Fallout 3 the other day. Tired of the freeze/lock up bugs that force me to hard close the program from task manager. Tried the core throttling “fix” in the .ini but it didn’t work for me.

Does New Vegas have the same problems? If so, I guess I’ll write off the games as a bad investment.

I never had the same freezing problems with FO: NV that I did with Fallout: III, although fortunately the fixes worked for me.
