Keep getting CTDs

[tiggerdyret]

I keep getting CTD. First I used Gophers guide (the one with foip) and I seemed to have a stable game. I startet getting crashes after installing remastered. I uninstalled, reinstalled the game and the mods and started a new save, but kept crashing. I followed every logical step of the ultimate fallout guide. I don't use auto saves and I use CASM to Quick save. I tried disabling all my anitvirus and spyware programs and running the game with game booster. I then tried reverting back unofficial patch and Error Fix (CTD fix thing) and was stable for a much longer time, but now it's back again. Here is my Load order:

do you use fomm?

[tiggerdyret]

I use NMM. Oh, yeah i use NMC texture pack and the game doesn't seem to be either more or less stable if I switch between them. I've tried both maximum, large and performance. I also use the clutter texture packs and some textures for guns.

I don't use nmm so does it contain anything to address the screen divers settings?

[tiggerdyret]

I have no idea.

tiggerdyret - Hello!

I see you're using the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch, it's an excellent collection of fixes.

One thing to be aware of, it's Broken Steel plugin does have a bug that can cause crashes on saves made around Rivet City & Project Purity.

There's a simple fix for it using FO3Edit, you can find it here:

http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?showtopic=401813

That bug will only cause crashes around Rivet City & Project Purity, nowhere else.

Is your game crashing or freezing?

If it's freezing, it could be the Fallout 3 multi core bug.

Fallout 3 has trouble with multi core computers, mainly with ones that have more than two cores & use hyperthreading.

So if you computer is a multi core that could be your trouble.

There is a fix, you need to edit your Fallout 3 .ini file.

The one you want to change is:

For XP:

My Documents\My Games\Fallout3\

For Vista & Win7:

Documents\My Games\Fallout3

The file you want will be called:

FALLOUT.ini

Open the .ini with Notepad & change this line:

bUseThreadedAI=0

to:

bUseThreadedAI=1

& insert this line under it:

iNumHWThreads=2

Save & close your ini.

If it's not freezing but crashing, does it happen when multiple enemies are on screen?

If so, what spawn setting are you using on MMM?

Setting it too high for your system can cause trouble, too many NPC's in one place means increased AI handling & more likey crashing. Try lowering it.

I use "Slightly Increased Spawns" 1 - 2, it still creates enough enemies for tough battles but is also very stable.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tips. It is freezing, not crashing and I've already used the multicore fix. I haven't been near rivet city or project purity. It's was on the way to minefield it started.

tiggerdyret - Hello!

 

"It is freezing, not crashing and I've already used the multicore fix."

 

Make sure you've added it to the FALLOUT.ini in documents that I described.

 

It's a common mistake to apply the fix to the Fallout_default.ini that's in the Fallout 3 folder.

 

Hope this helps!

Sadly I did it right the first time and I'm still crashing.

I would love to help you but I won't be posting in a compositional way here. technophobia/ Bable is considered "Nonsense." I can offer assistance privately if you wish.
