Read a lot-can't seem to stop crashing (Vista 32)

[Coffeeist]

Ok, so over the past few days I've been having a worsening problem where the game will crash ("Fallout 3 has stopped working") and then I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del and open the Task manager so that I can press close and get to my desktop. At this point whenever I load a game, it loads and after a second, black screen and Fallout3.exe has stopped working. I'm on the latest FO3 patch (1.5) using FOSE (the BETA version compatible w/ 1.5), and usually I launch thru FOMM so that I can play with DLC offline (I have tried using the standard launcher and and the fose_launcher.exe aswell, with the same result and an apparent lack of DLC). I have also tried creating exceptions (for the standard FO3.exe and the fose .exe file) in my FFDshow codec thingy (audio), and turning off Anti-ALiasing in the standard launcher, along with maybe a few smaller things. Now, from my research, I started thinking maybe the FOSE Beta is unstable, but I can't be sure.

Also, one of the mods I have: Tactical Weapons by gRs Frederyck, has recently started having texture problems where the guns look all messed up. The normal FO3 weapons and the laser marker (which is just standard laser pistol with added effects) from Enclave Commander look fine. I don't know if these are related, but as far as this texture problem, I don't care much if it gets fixed or not.

 

PS: Sorry if this the wrong forum, I'm new here.

I've had similar issues, mate.

 

Unfortunately, what you'll have to do is start with a "clean" version of your Fallout (so uninstall and reinstall) and then slowly add your mods in until you find the culprit.

 

I always advise that people make a backup copy of their "clean" data folder to make this a lot quicker in the future (not to mention your save games, of course).

 

Good luck.
