Fewmitz Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hi all, I can't remember if this is my first post or not, but I guess I'll find out in a moment. I know that every game has bugs, and I know that FO3 has...a lot. But this is ridiculous. All of the problems were fixable, but I can't figure this one out. I can't save a new game file. It was working fine until tonight, but I traveled to Megaton, and then I got stuck. I can't fast travel, can't open a door, can't make a new save. I thought it was a corrupted save, so I deleted and reverted, but that didn't help. Then I tried it again and check the saves folder and there's now two TMP files (one from autosave.fos.bak and one from whenever I tried to save) that are just sitting there. The new saves don't get converted into saves, and I get a CTD. I searched, but I didn't find this problem anywhere, and since it sort of came out of the blue, I'm wondering what's going on. Edit: Yes, I have a few mods running, and I can get a list if that's at all relevant, but like I said, none of them ever caused any problems before.

gsmanners Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Try running temporarily without mods and see if that fixes it. Make sure you Load rather than Continue when you reach the main screen, and try different save files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewmitz Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 And I was sure it wasn't because of mods, too >_> I loaded with only the DLCs and it works, put the mods back and everything's back to normal (minus a few missing items, but eh). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fewmitz Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 I was mistaken. Now it won't load any files. Mods or not, DLCs or not. I'm using patch 1.6. Resintallation or corrupted file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I would reinstall my mods (I always keep backups just in case stuff like this happens), then maybe reinstall the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehflambo Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I know this sounds strange, but load your old save, whip out a grenade and blow yourself up. Let the slow mo cam do its thing and automatically reload your game, then try saving. Should fix the problem - always does for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesquiRay Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 WTF??

Oh, and tehflambo, thank you very much, i think i love you or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesquiRay Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I suppose you discover this because you get mad with the crashes, if it is not that way... do you know any way to fix that bug? every time i start the game i must kill myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucal Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Is there anyway to fix this short of suicide on start up? I have the steam version, so I think it's fully updated to patch 1.6. I remember when this problem first started with 1.5 You'd think bethesda would fix it by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
