MyGoodEye Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Make sure the game folder AND the DATA folder are NOT SET for READ ONLY. Try that. - David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisisninja Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I made this video a while back, It's helped a lot of people might help you and in a note not related to the steps in the video, that you may wish to try first, it also helps to uncheck it if FOMM and recheck it i heard that it resets something, and it's worked for me in the past.

crisisninja Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) You tried the fix in the video? Make sure you are extracting the second archive invalidation program (Archive Invalidation Invalidated!) into the steam/Steamapps/common/fallout new vegas/ Folder instead of steam/steamapps//common/fallout new vegas/data also it may even be your mod it's possible you just didn't extract the meshes to the right folder, or something may have gone wrong. EDIT: Maybe you could update FOMM? Edited November 1, 2011 by crisisninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisisninja Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) I'm having a hard time imagining this in my head i tried duplicating it on my FOMM but do you think you could provide a screenshot.EDIT: Ok, I have an idea go to Documents\My Games\ FalloutNV and right click the Fallout doc. check properties if it is Read Only uncheck it. Open the doc and Ctrl+f. Find SInvalidationFile. Change the Archive block to look like this: [Archive]SInvalidationFile=iRetainFilenameOffsetTable=1iRetainFilenameStringTable=1iRetainDirectoryStringTable=1bCheckRuntimeCollisions=0bInvalidateOlderFiles=1bUseArchives=1SArchiveList=Fallout - AI!.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa, Fallout - Voices1.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Textures2.bsa, Fallout - Meshes.bsa Somewhere in that folder is FalloutPrefs doc. look at Properties, if it is Read Only uncheck it. Open the doc try Ctrl+f. Find SInvalidationFile. Change the Archive block to like you did for the Fallout doc.Then go to \Steam\steammaps\common\fallout new vegas and open the Fallout_default config doc. Change the [Archive] block like you did for the Fallout doc._____________________________________________________ Edited November 1, 2011 by crisisninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
