I bought a copy off of amazon,

 

Everything works fine until i go to start a new game, then it starts loading and crashes, if i have FO3 in a windowed version, i can click to close it, if not, the computer freezes right after the screen goes lack, but an error message is still on the screen. Thanks for any help.

Also, i have windows vista, dont know if i mentioned that earlier.

Backup your DLC.

Uninstall the game, delete your saves folder and live save folders, delete your fallout.ini that should be somewhere in mydocuments/mygames.

 

Install again, DO NOT INSTALL IN THE PROGRAM FILES FOLDER OR ANYWHERE INSIDE OR INSIDE MYDOCUMENTS. Instead, install to, say, C:\Games\Bethesda...etc etc etc..

 

put the DLC in the data folder, download either the 1.0.0.15 or the 1.5 update, install fose, install FOMM, start through fose_launcher or through fomm.

Get Archiveinvalidation Invalidated from the nexus (yes, it is a download, yes, you want it).

 

If you go through the 1.0.0.15 route, you'd need to download fakepatch and littleboy. Fakepatch works like a mod, littleboy helps you organize/rename the .bsa files. Read the instructions for both well.

 

If you go through the 1.5 patch route, you'd need fo3edit for it's masterupdate feature, you need to run that everytime you add a mod that uses esp files.

Lemme get this straight..

 

You backed up your dlcs, that is, 2 .bsa files and 1 .esm file per DLC.

Then you uninstalled the game.

Then you deleted your saved games folder, your live saved games folder, and your fallout.ini

Then you installed in C:\Games.

Then you installed FOMM.

Then you got FOSE and copied the files in the 7zip directly into the fallout folder.

Then Downloaded either the 1.0.0.15 or the 1.5 update, then ran fallout normally, set up the options on the launcher, exited, then ran fose_loader.exe?

I have a somewhat relevent question, where the hell is the DLC from Live stored???? I have searched every directiory in my C drive for .bsa and .esm files and keeps showing me the fallout.ini. I looked in all the LIVE folders and my documents to no avail, I also show all hidden files and system files but nada.
