Firebird5 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I run a lot of mods. It adds a few seconds to loading time at the start but that's it. No problems. Smooth game. Fun game. Now, I haven't touched a thing but Fallout 3 just starts crashing whenever it wants. Sometimes I can get away with it but other times it just CTDs, sometimes with an error message and sometimes not. It almost always crashes when traveling to Vault 101 - and if that doesn't do it then entering the tunnel probably will. Rivet City market and the decks (not the staircase) also cause this. Springvale Elementary doesn't do it as much but it has done it once or twice. I give up. I've taken off all the mods, everything. I uninstalled them properly (those that needed special uninstallations), but it still crashes - at the exact same places. It's like clockwork, and it's annoying the hell out of me. I'm running Fallout 3 1.4.0.6 UK and FOSE v1.1 b6 (although FOSE or no FOSE makes no difference, it still likes to crash). I've made many playthroughs with the mods on and the same versions and it's been fine. Just now it's crashing. Is there some sort of magic solution? I'd really like to get my mods back, short of reinstalling them all from the archives. I don't want to do this because I've edited some of them (yes, and played through with them edited so no problems there) and I have way too many to keep track of :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alundaio Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I assume you use Fallout mod Manager? right? Well, start the program and right-click and export load oder. Save the file. Open it up and Copy and Paste it here. It sounds like a mod problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open it up and Copy and Paste it here. It sounds like a mod problem. It is. I'm not loading any mods - it's still crashing. But here is my mod list when active. BTW I just found this out, when ArchiveInvalidation is off, it runs fine (as far as I can tell). Would it be a problem in the Meshes/Textures/Sounds/Whatever folder? A retexture mod? A body replacer?

overload1977 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 you need ArchiveInvalidation on to run mods..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebird5 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 you need ArchiveInvalidation on to run mods..... Exactly my point. When I turn the thing off, everything works fine. Even when no mods are loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan000 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I have a similar problem. In some places its nearly impossible to play because the game crashes every few minutes (inside Nifty Thrifty's, entrance takoma facility - the small lake with radioactive barrels and green mushrooms; for example) . On other places there is nothing like this. I can play for hours. My guess is also that it's a problem with the textures. I use the following mods that change texures/texture packs:-BetterClutter Collection-ClassicWastelandCreatures Retexture-Sarem hair-Darknss RealEyes-Hades Hellfire Armor-NeilMc Terrainpack-Megaton HiRes-RivetCity HiRes-Landscape Texture TuneUp-Weapon ModKits-Aged PaperScraps I reduced antialiasing from 8 to 4 samples, also anisotropic filtering from 15 to 8 samples experimental and the game seems to run more stable - it CTD's more often with full settings. But I've got a Nvidia 9800GTX+, 4GB DDR3 and a Phenom 920 so that should make no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
