@mod:
request for closure (i think it should be pinned or pasted somewhere - that's some useful info)
-
You WILL face the consequences ...
LOL! :biggrin:

i can tell you for a kudo...

glad i could help, if you'll find the "bad" setting tell me what it is, that knowledge can help you and everybody else even in different games.

use the lowest possible quality settings (in all matters) in the lancher - if it still crashes then the software can be ruled out. it looks then like a hardware one but you said other games run great - 90% of hardware ruled out.
at this point it can be (don't laugh at the first one):
1. a dust problem - clean your machine with an air spray - especially the gpu and cpu (you may even disassemble the heat sinks/fans and put a new izo paste).
2. power supply problem - you've got to have a spare one and check if it changes the situation.
3. memory - as above check with spare/borrowed.
other that that it's unsolved (from what you said) from mine POV.

I have to use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation on-line. I cringe if I put a comma in the wrong place, and God forbid a sentence should start without a capital...
hehe, and i have to start a sentence without a capital (to "keep the flow goin'"), but ONLY in the forums/comments, when creating a description/readme/doc i have to start with capital...
p.s. i think you made a mistake: after "God forbid" shoudn't be "if" or "when"? ;) and "should" shouldn't be "would"? :D ;)

ok, i'll try to help cos i see everybody else kinda didn't get the problem in the first place.
i've had CTDs BSODs and other sh.t in F3 many times but today i have none (last day i've eliminated last one and until now i'm clean). F3 generally is very poor tested and optimized - it is very selective in with what it works. it includes drivers but also system as general.
1. by your description it looks it's sound or graphics related - if you have a build-in/uncommon sound card it may be the problem, if your graphics card has 256MB of memory you'll probably have at least some stuttering problems: try turning off texture optimizations if you have geforce in nvidia control panel. in the situations you described F3 loads textures, sounds and adjusts their effects.
2. modify your Fallout.ini like that:
- put iNumHWThreads=2 in [General] if you have dual core processor;
- set bMultiThreadAudio=0;
- if not already set, set bUseHardDriveCache=0;
- some people claim that turning off vsync helped (not my case) - the ONLY way to do it is by setting iPresentInterval=0;
3. try to run F3 with resolution AND refresh rate exact to your desktop (to bypass montior display re-regulation);
4. try turning Radial Blur Quality to Low in the launcher;
5. if your system is different in even small detail to the working one it may crash - i installed xp sp3 and the crashes returned - i manually reverted some of the sp3 files to sp2 ones and it helped - dsdmo.dll and dsdmoprp.dll are examples of that (sound effects). try to use older dll's.
!!! it's important do do 1 change at a time and see if it changes something - you'll know what caused it.
these may not solve your problem completely but you'll know more, what's wrong actually.
hope it helps!
p.s. and if you have that annoying "microstutter" (when you play/move F3 skips some frames and you "warp" to few frames later) and you have geforce set Maximum pre-rendered frames to 0 in NVIDIA Control Panel.

basing on a simple example i mentioned it appears i don't have to edit everything apart from EDID (just tested it). it works with the vanilla FormID and with the new one too, the game may be using EDID and only it to find this (and other) setting.
concludes, it appears that F3 uses FormID only for allocating memory and load priority...
if anybody knows it's not true please tell me!
note: i'm only using FO3Edit and i'm assuming it shows every entry and doesn't automatically alters whatever when editing.

:/
i really need answer to the first question - i want my mods to be safe...
anybody?
-
o_O
i would be a hassle from hell to explain it to you :rolleyes:
CATCH THE BUNNY!
:bunny:

i noticed using FO3Edit that some of the base settings mods avalible on nexus have their FormID's cloned (the same as in vanilla) and some have FormID's completely new (created).
1.if i want to make a mod that changes for example game setting 'iXPBumpBase'. should its FormID be cloned (same as vanilla - 000C3716 in this case) or new (created by editor)? what are the differences in both cases? which is safer?
2.i know that the first 2 digits are for load priority. but what if i change them to a different priority or change the load order of mod, will the entry change then too? if so, will it all be changed or only the first 2 digits?
edit:
corrected first question, it was unclear and i'm sorry for that.

a feedback would be welcome and by that i mean support for others if you recieved support. if you were given give something back - that's community - otherwise, sadly, you're just a leech.
