Like the title says, all my saves have disappeared since I last played. I'm also not using mods or trainers, never had. Has anyone had this happen before and how do I protect myself from this other than making manual backups?

My memory is a bit hazy over this but i was messing around with all the HUD stuff way back when and i recall all of those textures dumping right when you start the game and you're still in the opening menus. Problem is a shitload of textures dump when you start and it can be a pain in the ass to wade through them all. BTW, i dumped my textures in the original DS2 Scholar with Gedosato so that won't help with IGP11 and the DX11 version of Scholar but there's no way the textures shouldn't be dumping when the game loads into the menus using IGP11. Edit: I believe the texture you're looking for that has the health and stamina bars on it is named 32768_14467864812956854312.dds I found the name of it in this mod. If i were you i'd download that mod so you have an idea of what specific textures to grab after you dumped unmodified textures from your game. If you don't want to do that just dump your textures and look for the file name i listed above because that's the same texture i changed the color of my health and stamina bars in my game (and old mod).

Just taking the temperature of how dead DS2 is and if i should bother making any more textures for the Dark Souls games (all 3).

Greed... Greed never changes...

Are there any known issues with getting banned by using iGP11 and Steam? I'd like to use it and start up some new projects but i'd rather not get banned. So, any problems?

Actually i got it working! i verified my game again and somehow it started working :D Idk what the hell changed this time vs the first time i did it but it works now... i want to cry tears of joy! :smile: Thanks for the help, though. And i did update SK and Homemaker this morning so im good and up to date :D IDK if you can tell im happy :P

Add another one to the pile... I have done everything suggested so far that is supposed to work. I deleted all ini files, verified the game cache, unchecked and even uninstalled all my mods. I started fresh and no luck.... And basing the game performance after this update vs 1.2 it's night and day. My game actually works now.... except for workshop mode. I'm at my wits end on this. IDK if anyone has any other suggestions but im all "ears". Any possible solutions are appreciated. My load order is below if anyone is interested. BTW, dont know if this is important but my crafting benches for armor and guns etc. seem to work fine. This is specifically a workshop building issue it seems.

Okay, i gotcha. I'll drop it. I just got into it to much... It was like watching a movie and not seeing the ending. :P

ARGH, Why can't it be said?????????????????? If you want to know, you seen the post but if you don't have "that issue" don't. I am only here to help you fix the game, I am not a punching bag for those that would NO DOUBT AT ALL take offense. here, on this site it's called mod bashing..or some other weird thing can or will be used. So keep things polite, and we fix the games. that enough? kitty No one is bashing anyone. I am simply curious beyond all hell about the secrecy of the problem.

ARGH, Why can't it be said??????????????????

I would agree that a mod is likely causing the crashes... But the only other thing i can think of is a possible cell or save corruption. I remember the last time i played FO3 i couldn't enter the cell to Germantown without my game crashing. It was due to a bad cell caused by autosaving. If disabling all your mods doesn't stop the crashing then you should try loading older manual saves so you can find a working one where you can still enter Megaton. If it is a save corruption (and not a mod conflict) and you don't have any manual saves you are likely screwed. Like i said, when i got the Germantown corruption i had to search through a ton of old saves to find one before the corruption happened. I lost many hours of gameplay but it was all i could do to salvage my game. I know this may be very annoying but you should never play with autosaving or overwrite saves. It causes problems.

Most likely and archive invalidation issue. I'll assume you are using NMM so all you need to do is go up to the tools tab (wrench and screw drive) and turn on Archive Invalidation. If it's already activated (checked) just toggle it off and then back on again. That should get the textures working.

I just had the exact same problem and could only save if i nuked myself. The only way i was ever able to stop the crashing altogether was to deactivate every mod i had, make a clean save and then reactivate them all. I didn't uninstall them just deactivated their esp's. I know it's very inconvenient but it may be the only way to stop it for you as well.

Okay, i fixed the problem in a slightly inconvenient way. I had to disable every mod i had, made a "clean" save and re-enabled them all. I lost all my mod items but they were somewhat easy to come by again, especially since i just cleared out Fort Bannister, so no extra fighting to get some important stuff back. Good news is i can save without blowing myself up anymore... So i guess problem solved.

I am experiencing a truly odd and annoying bug. At the start of every game session I have to blow myself up to be able to save games. I'll put it into steps to be clear... 1. Start FO3. 2. Continue. 3. Blow myself up. (if i don't the game will crash as soon as i try to save) 4. Reload last save. 5. I can now save again like normal until i quit the game. BTW, i was in the the area Jury Street Metro Station (where you find Prime) and had a random crash right before the saving trouble started. Before that crash everything was stable and ran fine and i could save like normal. I do not use any autosaves either. All saves are manual, separate saves. Does anyone know how to permanently fix this? It literally started out of nowhere and i have no idea why. Thanks for any help! Here's my load order if curious:
