I figured I should add a few additional details. I don't go that overboard with my game. I run it on high settings with a few mods that help out performance like Clean up New Vegas, Stutter remover, and Better Game Performance V4. I also use Nevada Skies, nvamp, fellout, and then a few minor mods. It's strange though, the game runs smooth as butter when I'm inside most places, but outside the framerate is choppy and I get stupid stutters when it's loading stuff. I'm just looking to improve that.

Hey guys, I'll have to apologize in advance because I'm not too sharp when it comes to hardware and stuff. Anyways, I'm going to do a bit of upgrading and I was wondering what I could do. Currently have: nvidia GeForce 8800GT Duo Core @ 1.86GHz 2GB of RAM What should I focus on upgrading? I'm not trying to go overboard, but I'm looking at anything < $200 And thanks for responding!

Did you by any chance get the D3D9 perf fix? http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34778 Check your fallout new vegas folder for the d3d9.dll

Has it ever occurred to you guys that everyone has a different opinion? Each to his own. There's no reason to start these ridiculous debates that break out on the forums all the time. If you like Morrowind better than Oblivion then keep on playing it, no one's stopping you. You don't have to tell the people who enjoy Oblivion that it's worse than Morrowind. You can keep on ranting on and on with how they compare and contrast, or you can all just calm down and realize it's a never ending argument because you can't change someone's sense of fun. Nor should you criticize someone else's way of having fun. Oblivion is what it is, if you don't like then play another game.

To anybody looking at this forum to find out what that mod is, it's called Red Eyes Mask. Here's the website for it: http://fallout3.bedheadcreative.com/ It's got Igby's other cool stuff on there too. Hopefully this helped you guys out.

Yeah, hey there. So I've been using Charon and he was working fine. Then out of the blue today he started fleeing from a group of enemies, which he hasn't done before. Now he just flees every time we get in a fight and says, "This is hopeless!" or "We're outnumbered!" (even though there's one enemy and two of us :wallbash: ). So far I've tried reloading previous saves, making clean saves without mods that modify followers (Followers become essentials and an exp sharing mod) then reactivating them, exiting the game then reloading, and lastly I just restarted my computer out of pure anger. Even if you don't have a solution, can anybody tell me if they've ever even heard of this or had this happen to them before? I searched it on google and on the forums, but it seems that this problem is unheard of.

Have you searched Nexus yet? There's probably already mods that add that stuff. Though I do agree that they really could have done a better job considering there's only like 5 tracks, I think that we're lucky to even have what they put in. Like lionheart said they probably have to pay the artists back, and it's not really that essential. However, did you notice that most of the other things are 50s styled? The story and background of this game completely changes the path of history, screamo and all that heavy stuff is newer age stuff. Those days didn't occur in the fallout universe. The reason why they didn't add all these different genres is becuase to be slightly relistic here, GNR is scavenging together the very few tracks they could find. People are too busy trying to survive let alone make new songs and record them. Well, you get what I'm saying, anything further would just make me repeat myself. What REALLY got messed up is the friggen enclave station. I seriously don't get why they put in that stupid ass colonial song to play over and over again. The least they could do was put in like yankee doodle and crap. Either way, they should have put more things for them to discuss on the radio, that's the coolest part in my opinion. I have to disagree with lionheart, however, because playing your own music is completely different for some people. A mod is not necessary, but it is important to some people because it's pretty cool to just hear a new song playing on the radio while some people are chilling out in Moriarties or whatever. And personally it bugs me when I can't hear people walking around or the gunfire... not sure why. Personally, I think it's badass to fight like 30 super mutants (MMM) and listen to "Let's Go Sunning" 8) Well, you should just search GNR on fallout3nexus. I'm sure someone's already done this.

Yeah, I posted something on the FOOK 2 forum in technical support, but I got no replies. So I figured I'd check with you guys now. So I use FOOK 2 1.3 public beta and I've got the texture fix and all that good stuff. It runs fine, but for some reason I'm not seeing all the guns and armor from the item list in the wasteland. I was encountering new thing just fine for a while, but I'm level 23 and I'm noticing that I rarely come across new guns. The last time I encountered a new gun was when I killed a brotherhood member, and I haven't really killed the brotherhood much so that might be why. I have a few weapons that I got using console commands, but it seems like I'm getting about 10-15% of the items showing upthat FOOK 2 adds to the game. So am I supposed to be encountering most of those things or are they just so I can use the console commands to download? I figured maybe they are working on putting all of them in the wasteland, but I feel like there's a really small amount showing up for me. The reason that I think this is a problem is because I downloaded a mod that doesn't put leveling on the items that traders and enemies carry, basically randomizing it all, but I got the same exact things I usually do. Well, any help would be fine. Please guys, just post haha. I hate it when I get stuck checking the forum over and over again only without any answer.

Gah, I'm so ashamed of that time we argued haha. Well good luck on this, it looks like such a good idea! I've been looking into modding more, but my knowledge would be of no use. :closedeyes: Good luck man! :biggrin:

Just to let you know ahead of time, this is a "Which mod is this?" post. I posted this title because I'm pretty sure this is a frequently asked question and I hope that this post will help others in the future. Well, after I got gaijune's amazing mod "Reinforced Chinese Stealth Suit" I noticed a few cool helmets people posted pictures of. When I further investigated, I was unable to find the helmet and saw that gaijune said to ask the user. So here's the picture, any help would be appreciated. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/ima...-1249021644.JPG Hopefully this will help all of you who were searching for this as well. :thumbsup:

I love the filter, it makes things sound so silly.

Nah it's good advice man. You're right, I'm probably gonna do that. I'm at my memory max right now cause I have 13GB of music on there and only like 4 apps. Kinda annoying, but I can't say I'm not responsible. I'm just afraid they'll be like "Oh, it's jailbroken, we're keeping it. You're under arrest!"

I'm jailbreaking my ipod touch. Hahah jailbreaking the ill iPod nano. Got the fresh custom font color and custom text box. That's about all you could do.

Yeah, my game crashes when I run them all at the same time. I have the FOIP patch, but honestly I don't think I understand the load order that well from the read-me. Could someone give me the correct load order? For now, here's my load order: Fallout3.esm CALIBR.esm Anchorage.esm FOOK2main.esm Fook2main.esp FOOK2EVE.esp -XFO esps- (pacing_med.esp, perkpaths.esp, etc.) Mart's Mutant Mod.esm Mart's Mutant Mod - XFO+FOOK.esp Mart's Mutant Mod main.esp -Mart's Mutant Mod .esps- (increased spawns.esp, tougher traders.esp, etc.) Well that's about it. Any help would be great.

Ok, so it's not the patches as far as I can tell. I found that the error appeared after I installed MMM's mod and Tailor Maid. I didn't even put the mods on, but after I downloaded them into my data folder, my game just crashes right when it starts up. Besides that it was working fine before.

I think I downloaded that but it was before everything, I'll try it again. EDIT: Nah, wasn't that. Ima try redownloading everything but only installing the unofficial patch. It couldn't be DLC, all I use is anchorage. And the game doesn't work without any mods either so it's something in the main directory not the data folder.

Alright, so here's the deal. I just got Fallout 3 today, bought the disk at Gamestop brand new for $49.99. I plan on using XFO, MMM, and FOOK 2. Along with that I use Tailor Maid, Operation Anchorage, Tweakin It Out, and maybe Enhanced Weather. I used Archive Invalidated, FOSE, Unofficial Fallout Patch, and FOMM. I ran the game with no mods, it worked fine. I ran it with just XFO, Tailor Maid, and Enhanced Weather and it worked fine, besides a sound problem (not important though). For the most part, I'm pretty sure I installed everything to its correct location and I don't think that the mods cause the crash. Here's where the problem begins... :wallbash: :verymad: :wallbash: :verymad: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: I updated the game to 1.7, which seems to be the problem. When the game starts, like gets to the loading screen, it closes and two messages popup. One says that it crashed with the "Debug, send error report, etc." Then the other one says: Fallout3.exe - Application Error "The instruction at "0x00625070" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program Well, any help would be great. I'm pretty upset about this since it seems like I just burnt $50 on the game and about $200 getting a new graphics card set up. :wallbash: I'm not sure if it was just the update, it may have been MMM (though I doubt it) or FOSE. I've reinstalled at least 4 times and looked all over google. Only one other person came up when I googled my exact problem and the rest have to do with Pirated Copies and stuff. I read on Yahoo answers it has to do with my file being lost in the directory or it's corrupt or something. I can't run the game at all. After the problem starts, the game will not launch with/without mods.

Gah, I feel your pain. It recommends medium for me, yet I haven't even started the game yet because the video kept lagging and it was just pissing me off. I downloaded TIO though, Ima see how it works.

Yeah man I respect that. It was pretty out of hand on my half, I guess I was just trying to say I was upset with mature content and side tracked a bit. Believe me my hat is off to all the modders out there no matter how big or small their work is (besides that dude with the child porn). I truly do appreciate and admire everyones work. I'd also like everyone to know that I did take everyones opinion into consideration as I have read everyones posts and although I somehow ended up seeming like I making requests, I by no means have intended to do so. I also have never had the intentions of offending or judging anyone by how they play the game. Mods are for everyones personal interests after all.

Well, that's where you go wrong again man, it's not that I haven't tried, it's tough for me to learn this. Unless you had someone teach you personally, than you should know this isn't something that's easy to figure out. So can you honestly say that you couldn't just explain that to me instead of dropping a bomb on me? Yet still you speak with all this hostility when you know that I have had a misunderstanding.

Thanks man, sounds good. I'm going to look into modding more and maybe eventually I'll get good at it.

Man, that's messed up and you'd figure that they'd know better than to post it on this site.

Wow, I didn't even realize I said wasted talent. Sorry everybody, now I see where I went out of line. That was definitely my fault there. I stand corrected, wasted talent was seriously not what I meant to say. Poor choice of words... But my point does stand, despite that. And dude I agree completely, I was just trying to suggest something else.
