hmm. very strange . seems like a weird conflict . some timer sets off a game crash.

game crashes always happen due to missing content. maybe one of the mod you are using is not installed properly. i recommend going trough every mod and re-installing it. enable the mods 1 by 1 play the game see which one is producing the crash. my guess is there is a timer 4 minutes which adds an item to your inventory (token). many mods to this . however in your situation the token does not exist or misses icons or something about it. anything that affects main menu or stats menu [in a bad way] causes insta-crash. so if the token requires an icon and the icon dds file was not installed properly it will cause a game freeze 4 minutes later when the mod tries to add the item.

turn off all mods. turn on one at a time see which one is causing the crash. re-install the mod that causes the crash. that should fix it.

this can be tricky as there may be an issue where one mod can use similar name resources as another mod overwriting the other mod's resources this could also cause a crash.

the scavenger,engineer and raider starts don't work for me when i try to leave the shack the game crashes. also the vault dweller start keeps saying i cant be a ghoul or child and i cant start that. im not using default races so i think that's the problem for the vault dweller but the others i don't know

don't choose ghoul when using vault dweller, raider, engineer or scavanger. i think that may be the issue.

im not a ghoul its a custom race preset i think that the mod is counting it as a ghoul. im going to start a game with the regular race and change it after to check

mods that change races may not work as desired with cb . disable the mod start the game save. exit enable the custom race mod. play the game that should work fine.

I tried to run Fallout Wanders edition on it own with only the bare essentials such as Fose 1.2 b2 and Darnified 0.11.1a

(my version of Fallout 3 is 1.7.0.3)

 

I'm still getting the key lockout problem, if anything it seemed to happen earlier when the othe mods weren't installed!

 

Same things apply as with my full mod trial run with MMM, WMK and EVE.

both keyboard and mouse work in the main menu at start up.

when the game freezes can't use console or esc to menu.

does not seem to be a specific location, more about a specific time into game on starting the game.

 

The only difference might have been the time, I was in game for maybe 2 to 3 minutes (not sure) before the freeze.

 

it seems the freeze is diffently coming from FWE, not sure why again I was using alternate start to test this.

 

Seems to working in Normal (stay dreaming about vault 101) course haven't left yet.  Not sure if its FWE or Fallout but I'm having crashes that exit me from the game. could be a common fault from how I've loaded the files for part one and Two of FWE the Optional Darn update for FWE and the FWE hotfix.

CB is not compatible with FWE . both FWE and this mod use same resources and what you get is neither mod working.

do this

load the game with CB without FWE
make a new character
start the game
save the game
exit the game

load the game with CB and FWE make sure CB is after FWE
load the previously saved game

now you should have a CB alt start but with FWE features
some FWE may be buggy or won't work as intended (CB is not compatible with FWE)

now regarding the lockout problem is hard to say why. All game freezes happen due to missing content. Likely possible you did not install FWE correctly. I recommend re-install Fallout 2 clean fresh install, reinstall FOSE, re-install FWE (and make sure you use both part 1 and 2). This may fix your issue. Darnified UI causes lockups for me btw. I have never been able to successfully run Darn UI. I recommend going for bare minimum FO3 + FOSE + FWE (thats the absolute minimum req for FWE) then slowly add new mods and run the game after every mod to test if it works or not.


Sorry to elaborate what I meant by missing content.

if the mod/game requires a certain resource (an image, sound, 3d model file, bsa file and so forth) and cannot find it the game will crash and will quit to desktop. Also any corrupted or badly made file (broken nif files are notorious ) will also crash. In order to run the game and run it well FO3 requires all its content to be perfect. If a file is corrupted while downloading, if you didn't install something properly or in the proper folder, if you modified a file but did something wrong to it the game will always crash to desktop. Scripts also can crash to desktop if somehow the scripts make use or certain things that are no longer present.

How do you fix that? Is very hard to find which file is causing the problem (if it's a resource file) or script or what not. Easiest way to fix a major problem is re-install the mod or fresh install the game + mod if just re-installing the mod won't work.

So to elaborate what I did was I linked all races as different ages. Normally this is is use by the game to make someone older. For example you have young hispanic, adult hispanic, older hispanic and aged hispanic (oldest). But I added raider as even older than aged hispanic. So choosing a hispanic character and raider sets your age to +4 going into raider. If you have any mods that alter this connection between races it won't work. Any mods than change the default races will mess up CB. One way to go around this is simply run CB by itself start a new game save the game exit game start the game again load all other mods and you should be good.

I can't remember what I did exactly but i recommend going for Underworld Resident you get the Ghoul affiliations minus the rad regen and rad heal and can't die from too much rad. That's good for half ghouls.
